New Game: My #1 Google Creations (without searching for your name)
Aug. 22nd, 2011 | 12:27 am
Here's a Google game I just came up with. The challenge is to find Google searches that return something you've created as the #1 entry without using your name. You get bonus points for short or amusing phrases, or if the results say something interesting about you.
Here are some examples for me:

Obscure.org system compromise, password reset required
Oct. 5th, 2009 | 07:49 am
mood: 
distressed
Obscure.org users should contact me or Faisal Jawdat regarding a mandatory password reset following a system compromise. See http://www.obscure.org/ for more details. We're doing the resets via voice or authenticated and fully encrypted email / IM only.
Oh boy has it been a difficult weekend.

The Internet Mapping Project
Jun. 5th, 2009 | 10:51 am
I learned through BoingBoing recently about The Internet Mapping Project, a project Kevin Kelly is running to collect people's drawn maps of what the Internet looks like or means to them, with their home indicated on the map. This looks like a fun way of finding out about what people think of their relationship to the Internet.

Obscure.org back up
Oct. 22nd, 2008 | 08:53 am
mood: relieved
Obscure.org was down for about 4 hours yesterday morning. We lost the previous 6 hours of data due to a fatal failure of the disk array. I restored from backup onto borrowed hardware. We are still mulling our options regarding repair, replacement, or other choices regarding what hardware we will be able to use over the long term.

Obscure.org is down for emergency maintenance (restoring from backup)
Oct. 21st, 2008 | 09:16 am
mood: 
aggravated
The RAID array on Obscure's main server failed (again) this morning, so I'm restoring from last night's backup onto borrowed hardware. It may be this evening before the system is operational again.
I'm afraid that we're going to need some new hardware or a different hosting arrangement once the immediate crisis is resolved.

One Laptop Per Child / Scratch Demo
May. 8th, 2008 | 04:52 pm
Recently I've been involved with the One Laptop Per Child Learning Club D.C.. I've met some interesting people there, including Mike Lee, Wayan Vota, Leslie Bradshaw, and ffm (Firefoxman).
At the March 2008 meeting, I made a presentation about the class I've been teaching, Creative Computer Exploration with Scratch. Scratch is one of the activities available on the XO. After the presentation, Mike Lee took a short video of Patrick and I demonstrating a couple Scratch projects, including the Dragon Swirl project. Here's the video:
Mike Lee also wrote a summary of that meeting and the presentation.
At the April meeting, I announced that The Obscure Organization had made available a public Jabber server for the D.C. OLPC community.
