Cheever (Apr 17 2004 20:59 GMT) - A while back, I heard Susan Cheever give a delightful interview about her new book, My Name Is Bill. But I wasn't really that interested in a biography of the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, so instead a grabbed a used copy of her Note Found in a Bottle. This is a memoir of a drinker, but it's a remarkable book in part because drinking plays such a small role. The vulgar mythology right now is that drugs are wonderful if they're prescribed (Prozac, Xanax, Lipitor) or if they're "natural" (St. Johns' Whortelberry) but evil if you really like them or if they help you break the Home Run Record. |

Does it matter if the (Apr 17 2004 20:57 GMT) - Does it matter if the people exploring space have no ethics? JPL, for example, is the most unethical place I ever worked. Would it matter if unmanned probes were being designed, built, operated and the telemetry they gather analyzed by people without ethics? |

Evolution as Cargo Cult (Apr 17 2004 20:56 GMT) - Over at Matthew Yglesias' blog I've been commenting on my beef with evolution. I worry about the state of science because I find people using evolution as something as a cargo cult in their war on religion. They don't want... |

MySQL Conference Roundup (Apr 17 2004 20:55 GMT) - This past week was the MySQL conference in case you missed it. Here's some of the stuff I found pretty interesting. First, Jeremy Zawodney's new book High Performance MySQL has been published and is on Safari (if you have a subscription). Right off the bat it's very informative: Many binary distributors of MySQL mold it to fit "their" layout. |

Let the ants be happy (Apr 17 2004 20:55 GMT) - Here's something I just wrote for a Client. I've removed the names to protect the innocent ^^^Blah Blah Blah idea *Note my prejudice to what I think BlahBlah should be.* My emphasis is not on positioning BlahBlah as a BlahBlah service (or even thinking of BlahBlah as some BlahBlah brokerage house.) BlahBlah is a fine business model, a fine way to attract investors and a fine path to profitability. |

Brazilian Literary Boing Boing (Apr 17 2004 20:55 GMT) - Brazilian writer João Paulo Cuenca takes a leaf from the working notes of Cory Doctorow with this delightful blog that chronicles the publication of his first novel, Corpo Presente Diário do processo de edição e finalização do meu primeiro livro, "Corpo Presente", pela Editora Planeta. Aqui pretendo relatar o que de importante acontecer nesses dias, entre detalhes técnicos de edição, paranóias, angústias, bloqueios, motivações espúrias e tudo que envolve o processo de escrever, desde substâncias quÃmicas até joguinhos mentais e auto-ajuda. A diary of the editing and publication of my first book ... here I intend to record the signficant events of these hectic days, between technical details of publication, paranoia, anxiety, writer's block, spurious motivations and everything involved in the writing process, from chemical substances to mind games and self-help. |

w.bloggar - rationelles Bloggen (Apr 17 2004 20:54 GMT) - Andreas Kalt hat mir einen hervorragenen Tipp gegeben. Dabei geht es um die Desktop-Blogging-Software w.bloggar. Dieses einfach zu handhabende Programm ist ähnlich aufgebaut wie Microsoft Office Word. Am Anfang muss man das Programm mit einigen Einstellungen, wie den Serverinformationen füttern, und schon ist es startbereit. |
