There's a World Beyond Twitter; CenterNetworks Declares Twitter Free Week
Sun, 27 Apr 2008 15:17:34 PDT
It seems today you can't turn to any tech blog without numerous mentions of Twitter. There are so many other great startups out there that aren't Twitter-related that have been overlooked because of this apparent train that everyone's on headed for Twitterville. To that end, I've declared Twitter-free week on CenterNetworks. There will be no Twitter posts this week. This includes Twitter and clients of Twitter. If Twitter is acquired by Google for the estimated $2 billion this week, you will n
Good news, bad news for the US church
Sun, 27 Apr 2008 15:24:34 PDT
The Christian Century has some bad news for the US church. . . Every year about 3,700 churches close their doors in the US. That’s one in one hundred churches. That makes 3,700 new churches required each year in the US just to maintain the status quo—if you forget about population growth. Now for the good news — a 1% mortality rate is pretty good for an institution. Rates of closure for secular organizations are higher. The bad news? This doesn’t mean that the church population is particul

Like a political nerd’s version of the World Cup, or FHM’s Sexiest Women, Prospect magazine is once again running an online poll to determine the world’s top public intellectuals, from a longlist of 100. Readers will recall the hilarity that ensued in 2005, the last time this exercise was carried out, when Noam Chomsky was determined to be the top intellectual in the world, much to the chagrin of swathes of minor internet egotists. This year’s longlist has changed substantially, although m
Black Carbon and Solar Cookers
Sun, 27 Apr 2008 15:56:17 PDT
I touched on an important subject here earlier in the month when I mentioned a new study purporting that the spread of black carbon – or soot – from industrial and transportation sources, and from developing world cooking practices, is having a significantly more potent impact on climate change than previously thought. This release from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography discusses the work done by their highly regarded atmospheric scientist Veerabhadran Ramanathan and University of Iowa c
The trouble with doom-and-gloom predictions
Sun, 27 Apr 2008 16:00:53 PDT
The trouble with doom-and-gloom predictions -- whether they be about oil shortages, food scarcity, water wars or population explosions --is that most are based on the linear extrapolation of short-term trends. If, say, rice prices rise, alarmists assume they will keep rising indefinitely at the same rate -- and then produce scary-looking ...
Winning and Losing
Sun, 27 Apr 2008 16:24:30 PDT
It’s relatively easy to tell whether or not you’re winning or losing in a fighter, especially in 1v1 BFM. If, over time, the adversary is marching forward on your canopy and you’re seeing more tail than nose, you’re winning. Conversely, the more of his nose you see aft of your wingline, the beatener you’re getting. It’s a little harder in the GWOT, where generally improving trends are punctuated by shocking episodes of violence. In the Weekly Standard, Frederick Kagan sketches out what winning
Fashion trends in US economy (TVNZ)
Sun, 27 Apr 2008 16:26:43 PDT
Recession or no, middle-class fashionistas are dressing fashion forward. Their determination to follow the latest trends is playing out in disparate ways - buying pricier but fewer haute style pieces, or opting for a wardrobe of reasonable facsimile knock-offs that won't strain the budget.
