Indian carrier rolls out BlackBerry, moons gov’t

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 05:04:13 PDT
Despite the partial ban on BlackBerry services that was just announced, Indian carrier Tata Teleservices has gone ahead and rolled them out anyway. Tata was the company that started the whole mess in India when they tried to get government certification for the release. Funnily enough, other operators like Bharti and Vodafone never bothered with certification and have had BlackBerrys on the market for a while. Tata is, understandably, distressed by the “significant loss of business opportunity

Sunday: Walking Philadelphia

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 04:58:58 PDT
by David Safier Sunday morning we drove to the campaign headquarters we were sent to, a storefront that had just been opened Saturday morning to cover a lower/lower middle class neighborhood. Driving down the almost-empty streets in a strange city, where most of the stores were shuttered for Sunday with heavy metal grates (all local stores, indicating that national chains didn’t think this area worthy of setting up shop) was a bit unnerving, since we knew we would be canvassing in the area.

Two Views of the Emerging Geopolitical Landscape

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 03:14:10 PDT
I am a proponent of examining alternative futures in order to better prepare courses of action that might be needed as various trends like rushing rivers carve out the canyons of the future. Peter Schwartz, president of Global Business Network, is generally credited with creating alternative futures analysis while he was with Royal Dutch Shell. If one could divine the future, alternative futures analysis would not be needed. But we can't. Various people, from Yogi Berra to Neils Bohr, have been

Fore Left! ESPN Drags Title IX, ERA Into Golf Report

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 03:09:23 PDT
Cindy Brunson's report on Lorena Ochoa's winning streak wasn't a mere double-bogey. Think of it as a shank into the lake, or better yet, that most inept stroke of all: a total whiff. Apparently desperate for a feminist angle on Ochoa's success, the ESPN News anchor decided to drag Title IX and the ERA into her account. Video at link.

Benedict: The Last 20th Century Man

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 03:01:37 PDT
It seems almost silly to say I am bringing coverage of Benedict XVI extraordinary sojourn in America to a close when the truth is I will likely be reading all of his addresses more closely and bringing them up in coming weeks, but the wall-to-wall writing will end here. I do want, though, to end with a thought that blipped through my head when Benedict was in DC, and again as he addressed the United Nations. Benedict XVI is the last man of the 20th century to walk the global stage. He saw tyra

Builder Bankruptcies Bringing Out Some Anxiety?

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 15:38:36 PDT
An interesting story came up on National Public Radio (NPR) the other day about the growing lack of confidence consumers are having with homebuilders due to the increasing number of bankruptcies and dire financial news. While this is an alarming trend, especially with larger, higher-profile builders, it’s also an important lesson to be aware of.

Reaching Out With Your Conference | 2¢ Worth Excellent article for conference organizers from David Warlick. He has some great recommendations and links to the works from a conference in California this week. Conferences are setting up social networks as a best practice. As these handy sites go mainstream, effective use of such networks seems to be increasingly an important understanding for students as behavior on these sites is very different from the "social" social networks in their person

Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up!

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:50:34 PDT
Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up! The state-run media in Canada (and the citizen-owned media who do their best to compete with them) all lament, daily (with intra-day lament updates, all day long), the price of a barrel of oil, and the resulting price of gas. (Of course they don’t have the foggiest clue what they’re talking about, but they pretend they do.) Even as I was writing this, the state-owned CBC did a story about the latest rise in gas prices. Apparently it’s getting h
