ex machina


i really need to update the 'rhetoric' box. respect, schrespect. i like to see wholesale dismissal of the customer. i mean, c'mon, it's not the technology's fault. it's that stupid freakin' guy that's buying the stuff:
""To say that all people are giving their permission for Scour to do this is wrong," said Bruce Forest, director of new-media projects for Viant Inc., an Internet services firm. "The average lug can't configure a VCR, let alone a secure Internet connection.""
i understand the point that bruce is trying to make, but it would seem that the blame game should be directed at the obfuscation perpetuated by the technology providers - not the 'average lug'.

"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
