Dean
I'm very happy to report that our third son, Dean Berlin Johnson, was born yesterday afternoon, weighing in at 9 pounds, 11 ounces (!!). It was a very smooth delivery, despite the fact that this kid is the size of a two-month-old, and both mother and child are doing great. Father, needless to say, is delighted beyond words.
In a strange way, getting to meet him the first time yesterday seemed even more moving than it was with the first two. With your first child, it's just so impossible to imagine that they're going to grow into a little person with such vivid, distinct characteristics. With the second child -- particularly if he/she is the same sex as the first -- you kind of assume that he's just going to be variation on the theme of the first one. But our two boys are just amazingly different in so many ways now, and so when I saw Dean for the first time, I felt this incredible surge of curiosity: so what are you going to be like?
I'm titling this post "Dean" for Google's sake. I think it would be most excellent if everyone would link to this page, and drive this post up Google's results for the word "Dean." I think it would help him get a head start in the world to have a lot of pagerank right out of the gate. So instead of sending flowers or food baskets, just link...

Bike Hugger Shirts
By popular demand, we’ve got shirts being printed and they’ll be available soon. I know I’ve wanted one and will wear it off the bike, at races, events, and everywhere else.
The response to Bike Hugger has been great, better than expected, and we appreciate it. Here’s an example from Winky
I love this — in fact I love it so much I want to buy t shirts. Isn’t that the ultimate show of loving something creative and idealists — turning it into a retail experience.
Considering a retail experience, if the shirts sell well (and I think they will), we’ve got a whole line in mind, as well as schwag. If you’re interested in a shirt, post a comment and we’ll get them to you first.
Going into the Fall and the next cycling season, we’ll sponsor a women’s cycling team and you’ll see us at more events. Look for even more Bike Hugger.

Notes in Time Out
This week’s Time Out New York is running six pictures of Japanese manhole covers I took in 2002. It’s part of the cover story on “how to make New York better by stealing the best ideas from other cities.”
The photo editor found this old blog post and contacted me.

I’m attending HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) in NYC this weekend. (It’s walking distance from House 2.0, so if you’re thinking of coming down and need a place to crash, drop me a line.)
Stopped in this afternoon to see a really fun lock-picking demonstration by Barry “The Key” Wels and Marc Tobias (workshops running all weekend) and to hear Richard Stallman talk about free software (inspiring, and a little frightening.)
There’s some great stuff coming up this weekend, including an un-conference-esq “Third Track“, sessions on phone and VOIP phreaking, social engineering (Kevin Mitnick’s also talking), consumer electronics hacking, the end of privacy, Kitchen Hacking, and a session on collecting resources to create a physical “Hacker Space” for creative hacking and collaboration (reminiscent of Coworking.)
If you’re attending and want to meet up, ping me.

26-Inning Cylcones Game Marks Longest in League History
It took 6 hours and 40 minutes for the Oneonta Tigers to beat the Cyclones at Keyspan Park yesterday, marking the longest game in the history of the New York-Penn League. 9,004 people attended the annual "Kids Camp Day" game, which started at noon. About 200 dedicated fans (or at least those who were too drunk to stand up after 20-odd innings of drinking draft beer from 22-oz. souvenir cups) remained until the end of the game — nearly 7 hours later.

Beer: the Tour rider's energy drink
Friday's Foaming Rant: Beer me, Floyd
Jason O'Grady's Foaming Rant for this week is a little foamier than usual. He wants to know just what was in the beer that Floyd Landis said Wednesday would help him deal with his 10-minute loss on Stage 16.
Then, at a press conference on Thursday, after Landis chased down an 11-man breakaway, killed them and ate them, built a new bicycle out of their bones, and roared away in a pillar of fire to win the stage to Morzine and jump back to within 30 seconds of the yellow jersey, he mentioned beer once again.Since we've got to know what wondrous potion could turn us all from Freds to Floyds, O'Grady is undertaking an experiment on our behalf, working his way from Anchor Steam to Zywiec Porter (what, no Abita Ale?) in the name of science.

Dude, whoa, Landis
I think lots of cellphone calls went like this yesterday morning, "dude, whoa, DUDE, Landis!" I was getting updates on the train, Pam had coworkers at her desk most of the morning, and Greg (a teammate, and cycling buddy) said his customers were calling him all morning saying things like, "that was OUTLANDIS!"
That incredible ride has the magic of transcending the avid fans to those who only watch it once a year -- I also saw instant messages light up with Landis exclamations. My neighbor was clearly "very excited" by the ride, asking Pam all kinds of questions and during a panel discussion yesterday at Webvisions, it was all I wanted to talk about!
My favorite quote was from Hinault referring to the ride, "I was bad yesterday but I’m the best and I’ll prove that today." It can work, it’s like a Hinault Coup (he's good, cause he was like me!)." And what Floyd said in his press conference, "you better drink some Coke, cause I'm going."
It was the best and most incredible ride I've ever seen. Dude, whoa, Landis!
So, who did you call? Was your phone ringing with Landis calls?

Get rid of useless Windows services
Web site TechTree has a pretty comprehensive guide to which default services you can do without on a clean install of Windows XP. But what is a service, you ask?
Each service in Windows is essentially... an application that stays running in the back doing its job when required. Now each service takes up some memory, which isn't good if your system has a low amount of memory (like 256MB or less). Fortunately, not all of the default services are required by all users, so you can turn some of them off to free up some memory.Whether you've got a computer at home that's low on RAM-juice or you just want to streamline your power PC, this guide lets you know all the unnecessary crap you can do without. I'd recommend reading the purpose of each service before disabling every listed item willy-nilly, but you may be able to free up a significant chunk of RAM with the right tweaks.

"L'Alpe d'Huez will kill you"
Slate.com | The Tour de France almost killed me, by Andrew Tilin
I know I already posted about l'Etape du Tour, the amateur ride that traces one stage o the Tour, this year Stage 15 up l'Alpe d'Huez. Normally, I would just paste this on to the bottom of that story, but I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to spotlight it separately.
It's by Andrew Tilin, who sets off on l'Etape with friend Peter, “a high-level amateur racer.” If you want to find out what this ride is like for someone who rides about as much, maybe a little more, than you do, here's your chance. The author has experience in marathons and long triathlons, but says nothing has left him as “stuporous” as the climb up l'Alpe d'Huez.

Municipal WiFi seems so 20th century sometimes
I'm kinda getting tired of all the muni-WiFi talk.
First of all, folks talk about it as the data-manna from heaven. Nah, it's only another access method. If done right, it could unleash a whole new level of creativity and products. But, it's still not going to be a walk in the park for users - it's still going to be a tad complex.
Second, muni-WiFi will not kill mobile phones. So, enough about crying about loss of market from either side of the argument. Operators, make value instead of stonewalling. WiFi geeks, you're still going to need a mobile phone, whether it has a WiFi or WCDMA antenna.
Third, muni-WiFi is not new. Does anyone remember Ricochet? I think there was another one called Metro-something or other. That was almost 10 years ago.
Fourth and last, I do agree though that muni-WiFi today has a better chance than the previous umpteen attempts. This time around, there is better connectivity from the base station, more devices in customer hands, and a greater demand. I am not sure, though, if this is the cycle of build-out that will actually take root.
Eh, back to my regularly scheduled program.

Epic! Landis rides their wheels off; takes Stage 17!
Today was the most amazing day of an amazing Tour de France.
Floyd Landis splintered the field on the day's first climb. Phonak went to the front and pushed the pace, and then Landis attacked. The GC riders initially countered, but Landis lifted the pace and rode away, with about 130 kilometers and five climbs to go. Landis hunted down an 11-man break then time-trialed alone to the finish line, holding a punishing pace to his first career Tour stage win.
Oscar Pereiro's Caisse d'Epargne team couldn't bring the gap down, and finally, as it reached more than 9 minutes, dropped back, and CSC took over. The gap was slowly reduced until on the day's last and hardest climb, CSC's Carlos Sastre launched a withering assault on the remnants of the peloton.
It was too late to catch Landis, but Sastre hoped to stay ahead of Landis on GC, and to crack Pereiro and possibly take the race lead. Pereiro kept his head, and limited his losses enough to maintain his yellow jersey. For now.
Despite huge gaps between riders on the road, the Tour only gets closer: Pereiro now leads Sastre by 12 seconds, Landis by 30 seconds, and Klöden by 2:29. Landis is the best time trialist of the group, and Saturday's time trial looks decisive.
Landis is the 9th American to win a Tour stage: Landis, Hincapie, Armstrong, Zabriskie, Hamilton, Lemond, Hampsten, Phinney, Pierce.
Top 10:
1) Floyd Landis, Phonak, USA, in 5:23:36
2) Carlos Sastre, CSC, Spain, at 5:42
3) Christophe Moreau, AG2R, France, at 5:58
4) Damiano Cunego, Lampre, Italy, at 6:40
5) Michael Boogerd, Rabobank, Netherlands, at 7:08
6) Frank Schleck, CSC, Luxembourg, at 7:08

Beautiful Evidence by Edward R. Tufte
Beautiful Evidence is both the title of Edward Tufte's latest book and an accurate description of the document itself. Like few other mass market publications, BE is lovingly hand-crafted, a physical manifestation of the ideas expressed in its pages; the text and images therein could be about another subject entirely and you might still get the point: "Words, Numbers, Images - Together" (the title of the book's fourth chapter).
Case in point. Pages 123 and 124 fold out into a spread depicting Charles Joseph Minard's famous infographic of the disastrous 1812 invasion of Russia by France. But unlike most magazine and book fold-outs, the page that folds out is cut 1/2 inch narrower than the underlying page so that a) a bit of the page underneath peeks out, providing a visual cue for unfoldability, and b) there's no difficulty when you go to refold the page with getting it caught in the book's crease or otherwise undesirably bending/creasing it. The fold-out design is a small thing that the casual reader might not even notice, but it demonstrates the care that went into the production of the book (and perhaps the reason why Tufte took so long in writing/designing it).
The gang at 37signals noticed similar craftsmanship in the writing and presentation:
"What struck me is how you almost never have to hold something in your head while turning the page...he usually finishes his thought within the two pages you can see...and when you flip, it's something new...that's an excellent self-imposed constraint...'whatever i need to say, i'll do it here.'" Jason replied, "Yes, I love that. I noticed that more on this book than others. The image and text is in one spread so when you turn you are turning your attention to a new idea. If you have too much to say than the space allowed then you are probably saying too much...it definitely makes it easier to design the book too...you can design each spread as if it was a standalone poster."
What I've also noticed about Beautiful Evidence is the lack of reviews in mainstream publications; I can't find a single newspaper or magazine that has published a review. Compare that to the releases of Gladwell's Blink, Remnick's Reporting, and Anderson's The Long Tail, for which reviews started appearing almost everywhere before the books were even available. Those books were written for mass audiences and backed by large publishing companies with ample PR resources and plenty of review copies to go around. In contrast, Beautiful Evidence is self-published by Tufte, which means it's beautiful, personal, and done just right, but also invisible to the mainstream press. Not that Beautiful Evidence is being ignored -- the blogosphere is talking about it and the Amazon Sales Rank is currently about 600 (which doesn't count online sales directly from edwardtufte.com) -- but it deserves the consideration of the mainstream press.

The ad at Green Parkon on Jubilee line. It is a bit of a hard read, but you get the point.This ad made me furious. How stupid and unresponsible do you have to come up with this dumb idea. Not to speak of suggesting it to a client and finally for the client to approve it. There is acute shortage of water in the world. Even the Mayor of London sent us a 'personal' letter urgeing us to save for example not to water plants. Then I see Vittel encourageing people to waste even waste as a competition which will just put fuel on the fire. If you share my anger lets not buy their water. With me they just lost one customer for life!

We are looking for hardware and software hackers, techno arts-and-craftsters, and new types of open source makers to come to New York City and develop experimental creative technologies and media. The OpenLab represents an opportunity for selected individuals to work in a state-of-the-art digital fabrication laboratory, to collaborate with a range of talented technologists and artists from diverse and hybrid backgrounds, to gain international exposure for innovative work and to directly enrich the global DIY community, free culture and the public domain. Join past OpenLab Fellows and projects like MintyBoost, OGLE (OpenGLExtractor), SlashLinks, LED Throwies, Contagious Media and FundRace and make your mark on the Public Domain.It's hard to overstate how awesome Eyebeam is. Any one of these projects could be the basis for a multi-million dollar company, but they choose to donate their work back to the public domain instead.

Dream: After sleeping at a new apartment, burgled at old apartment (bike stripped, apartment key gone). By chance, run into bike thief sleeping at neighborhood garage. Hit him with my bike wheel (good weapon!). Then he seems congenial and willing to give back my stuff. While walking to get it, I ask him if he knows anything about my keys. He says, let's see. We go into my old building (he unlocks it). In the lobby two friends of his are sleeping on mattresses that have appeared overnight—they take up the whole foot of the stairwell. Thief explains: his girlfriend is an artist but needs to cram, hence all the stuff in their otherwise bohemian lifestyle. He lets me in to the 3rd floor apartment—not mine.

Why do we have to use celebrity chef? We don’t call Wynton Marsalis the celebrity musician. We don’t refer to Annika Sorenstam as the celebrity golfer, we don’t say celebrity actor and we don’t say celebrity celebrity, though surely there are those, someone who’s famous only for being famous. As far as chefs go, are we calling them celebrity chefs to indicate they don’t cook anymore? We should consider this.Originally from hello, typepad by reBlogged on Jul 19, 2006, 5:12PM
Kozyndan
Here’s a short interview at PingMag with L.A. cutie-pie illustrator couple (just scroll down the interview, you’ll see a photo) Kozyndan (that’s Kozue and Dan = Kozy-n-dan), who just opened their exhibition at Paul Smith SPACE in Shibuya, Tokyo. They have a blog too (but it has no RSS feed! How can I track their every post without a feed?!)
One of your first questions, as it would be for me, would be: How do two illustrators create a single piece together? Their answer:
Kozue: It depends. Sometimes, it’s just one of us finishing off a piece and other times we would draw an illustration together. The usual process is that we draw rough sketches with a pencil on paper and scan it in. Then we start to color it in on Photoshop. If you take a closer look, you can see the lines drawn by a pencil on the background.Honestly, that still doesn’t answer the question, so it, along with how many licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, will have to remain shrouded in mystery. What ain’t a mystery, is how amazing their work is. The image above is only about a quarter of a full-360 degree panoramic illustration they did. You can view it in full size and rotate spin around the QVTR here.
