Happy New year! In case you missed it, John Stossel hosted a fun series right before Christmas called “what a wonderful world” where he featured various authors and scientists, including me. Here’s a link to the video: http://www.foxbusiness.com/on-air/stossel/index.html#/v/1343254393001/do-you-want-to-live-to-be-200/?playlist_id=87530
The Man Who Was “Cured” of HIV
Here’s a link to my recent interview with ‘Big Think’ where I mentioned Timothy Brown, the only man who has ever been cured of AIDS.
Singularity Hub reviews 100+
Aaron Saenz at Singularity Hub writes a thoughtful review of 100+: What would you do with another 75 years on this Earth? Not as a pain wracked wizened elder in a nursing home, but as a vibrant super-centenarian with the energy of a 30 year old? Sonia Arrison is here to tell you it’s not [...]
Live Very Long and Prosper a Lot
Here’s an interview I did with Rick Docksai, assistant editor for THE FUTURIST. We talk about longevity and my upcoming book, 100 Plus.
Congress may make ISPs snoop on you
Here’s a great column from Declan on what Congress is plotting for data collection in the name of helping children.
SF has more wireless than any other US city
JiWire says that San Francisco has 801 public hotspots — more than anywhere else in the US. The Chron’s Ryan Kim wrote a news piece about it today. I hope the mayor reads it.
Another article on nano regulation
Pre-emptive regulation of nanotech is a silly idea and I say so in this news piece.
Another great Command College seminar
I spent another day this week leading a seminar at California’s Command College, a place where police officers go for extra training on a number of issues. My topic was technology and below are the links I said I’d post for attendees. Thanks to Tom for being a fabulous host — I’m looking forward to [...]
E-voting and paper issues
John Wildermuth of the SF Chronicle wrote a story today about e-voting and PRI’s objections to obsessing over paper trails. As I said in the piece, the whole point of e-voting is to move away from paper and it really is just a matter of time before the Luddites lose their luster. Here’s a link [...]
More on government breaking privacy rules
Declan and Anne wrote another great piece on this issue today. They quote me saying I think that many of the politicians that criticize businesses for data practices are hypocrites because they are just as bad or worse with their practices. Good to see that the media is paying attention.
Diamonds are a technologist’s best friend
Here’s a great piece from Kevin Maney at USA Today on new diamond technology that has the potential to significantly change the computing world. He quotes me as saying that I’m awed by the technology, and I really am. The ability to make diamond wafers for use as semiconductors means, among other things, that Moore’s [...]
Free WiFi in SF a bad idea
The SF Chronicle quoted me on this issue today, and for whatever reason felt the need to say that PRI is funded by SBC, but of course they didn’t say by how much, leaving the false impression that SBC is a big part of our budget. Well, let me set the record straight. SBC is [...]
Command College seminar
Today I led a discussion seminar at Command College on technology issues such as broadband, communications applications, privacy, security, intellectual property, nanotech, robotics, and biotech. The officers in the program were engaging and thoughtful — a good sign for the future of law enforcement in California. Here is a list of some of the links [...]
Rush Limbaugh mentioned me on his radio show yesterday
If you’re wondering why, it’s because I changed my mind on TIA and this NY Sun piece by Josh Gerstein quotes me and others on the need to re-examine government data-mining programs.
Radio discussion tonight on digital divide
I’ll be participating in a discussion about San Francisco and the digital divide tonight at 7:30 pm. The first part of the show is a panel discussion, but during the second half we will be taking questions from callers. If you’d like to call in or listen online here’s the info: The studio call-in number [...]
Tech Closeup interview
I was interviewed by Tech Closeup on a bunch of tech issues recently. The producers of the TV show were nice enough to grant me permission to post it for those of you who don’t watch traditional TV anymore. Here’s the clip (24M 15 min) and here’s a link to the show’s general web site.
Spam and the Election
Will political spam have an impact on the election? I doubt it, but there’s a company called MailFrontier that says it could.
