In Hong Kong

2011-07-03T15:16:00.000-07:00

IFC2 now dominates Hong Kong’s skyline. It stands at the western edge of the harbor. It is an awesome, towering presence, and at the top, it pierces the sky with claw-like structures. Its smaller partner building, IFC1, also sports talons. Together they glow at night like a pair of alien craft landed for an unclear purpose. As mist and light mingle among the talons of the larger tower, it seems that some kind of communication or interaction is taking place with the heavens. The lines, windows and details of both are so subtle, perfectly proportioned and resonant with each other that they stand apart from the rest of the skyline, making their neighbors look blocky and primitive by comparison. They cast off a beautiful but vaguely threatening aura. They are the future of Hong Kong, looking north, beautiful but in a state of readiness, with claws.

2008-11-06T13:17:00.000-08:00

Egypt was nothing but a bunch of taxi rides for me. The famous "black and white taxi" plunging into horrific, ambling traffic jams, using their horns as foghorns or shoehorns to make their way through. The air was dirty, the haggling over price tiresome. Make sure you have the right change.

The Dutch Bike

2008-10-26T14:43:00.001-07:00

It is not widely known that all Dutch bicycles were made sometime between 1942 and 1958. A lot of them must have been made during those years, because, apparently, no new models have ever been constructed since then. From this enormous original stock Dutch bicycles are recycled in various states of repair.

All Dutch bicycles are black.* If they are some other color now, it is because some, ahem, creative type bought some cheap variety store spray paint and drippily covered over the black with some other color, like white zebra stripes or golden-puke or some godawful shade of green. But their essential blackness returns eventually, that and the rust.

Dutch bicycles weigh 200 Kilograms. They are ready for any collision, so watch out.

* Except for the rear fender, which is always white.

Meet John Doe

2006-03-04T17:45:00.000-08:00

In debates over participation in the new Internet Governance Forum, advocates for more open, individual-based participation frequently heard concerns about "someone off the street" showing up. This proverbial "man off the street" (close kin, no doubt, to the generic "man on the street" from journalism) was clearly a source of angst among governments and even many NGOs. Perhaps they feared unruly mobs of jihadis or a general decline in the quality of reception hors d'ouevres. My response was always that the UN system, and the whole gaggle of governments, NGOs and business lobbyists focused on internet governance should feel flattered if ordinary street denizens showed any interest in what they do and enough commitment to show up and talk about it.

Well, I'm happy to report that here in Geneva Feb. 16, a "man off the street" actually showed up. Just one, so far as I know. The name of this rare creature is [deleted by request]. He just graduated from Oxford with a computer science degree and is now working in Switzerland doing programming and reverse engineering. He read about the UN's consultations in the newspaper. Because he works with and on the Internet he thought it sounded interesting. He read the instructions on the IGF's web site and registered for the meeting. The UN identification process threw no barriers up. He has a tag; he is here, sitting across the room from me.

I am keeping him under close observation and will report back further on the results of this bizarre experiment.
