That’s true for Tehran as well…

Men and women respond differently to Kathy Sierra
I was discussing yesterday with Jay Fienberg how it bothers me that some of the ostensibly supportive comments on Kathy Sierra’s blog include thoughts along the lines of “I am a big man so I am not vulnerable to these kinds of threats.” Not only does this sort of reinforce the chauvinism, as Jay pointed…

You are your own words
I’ve been following the upsetting story of how Kathy Sierra, creator of the Head First book series, author of the Creating Passionate Users weblog, and noted speaker on the web / technology circuit was frightened into cancelling her scheduled appearance at eTech by a series of escalating threats to her personal safety in the form…

Yes, Josh, There Is a Bill of Rights
Back in 2002, I got this email from my brother’s brother-in-law, Josh Kiok. Kind of relevant. >Dear David, >Once again I’m shocked, shocked! I suspect you already know about this, but just in case you don’t, a recent series of articles appeared in the SF Chronicle about the FBI/CIA spying on the Free Speech Movement.…

Yet another friend metaphor (for twitter)
So I just wasted, er, spent a half hour surfing twitter pages and poaching friends of friends. I noticed that I had a strong gut sense of who I felt it was ok to befriend, most of the time, but that it doesn’t necessarily map to people who are actually my friends or whom I’ve…
