A Photo from Day 6 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record but unfortunately I didn't get any journeys on this day.
The Severn Valley Railway (SVR) runs trains along a 16 mile Heritage line from Kidderminster station to Bridgenorth station .Highly is one of the stations along the line and there is The Engine House Museum there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 4 steam Locomotive running on various Steam Excursions where due to Covid19, Compartments were being sold to families and there were some tables for groups of 2 or 4 people but nothing really suitable for the solo traveler.
Here, in The Engine House museum very near Highley Station I took this photo of 600 Gordon, a 2-10-0 locomotive built by North British Locomotive Company, Glasgow as Works Number 25437 for the Longmoor Military Railway (LMR).
Later 600 Gordon was renumbered WD 73651.

Attention, downtown office workers: Pigeons don't care that your Excel spreadsheet isn't formatting right. This one made it to Explore.
3 areas (each 4mx 4m) sown just for bee pictures - plants honey bees find attractive but which I have not already got any photos of bees on! Planning ahead for my spreadsheet project docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-_uJANb_oKgIZLEvm0mFjYq3W...
Ages since I have updated that google docs spreadsheet - no excuse now that I am retired! On my to do list for this week!
the 3 areas are:
Crimson clover =Trifolium incarnatum
Lucerne/Alfalfa = Medicago sativa
White Mustard= Sinapis alba
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Sowing Seeds
Christmas rose. - pure white flowers.
I have this in a pot on the patio. In full flower at present and great to see the bees on it.

Had a long phone chat with Phil Halcrow 24-11-24 about the old days and 60 years of life since we last saw each other. I introduced him to caving and SUSS and share a few trips. He went onto many years of mapping, surveying and early IT in drilling and NSW Water Management....
Some sheets were plotted in pencil from Surveyor Field books @ 1:9600, and took a week or two. using 80ch scales, if I remember correctly, still have them with the Darmstadt Slide rules and 7 figure log tables, see below..
other dwgs were inked in from other workers plots, with careful STAEDTLER® lettering guides for street names and title blocks, and hand lettering elsewhere..
Not as great a collection as the ..
But seems a lot, and needs sorting and indexing, that is why I'm putting it on Flickr..

VisiCalc was the first electronic spreadsheet for personal computers. it was introduced in 1979 for around $100. It ran on the Apple II and was the main reason Apple was able to penetrate the business market. This is a 1983 version of VisiCalc running on my Apple IIc. The Apple IIc was introduced on April 24, 1984.
APPLE IIc brief history.....
In the summer of 1981 someone proposed a portable Apple II, a book-sized computer. It wasn’t until Steve Jobs became interested in it as engineering challenge, well after Macintosh was under way, that anything came of the idea:
…one day late in ’82, Paul Dali showed him [Jobs] a photograph of a Toshiba portable and they started fooling around with the idea of an Apple II that would look like the Toshiba but come with a built-in disk drive. They took out a IIe circuit board and a disk drive and a keyboard and played with them until they arrived at a promising configuration-keyboard in front, disk drive in back, circuit board in between. What got Jobs excited about this idea was the engineering difficulty of squeezing it all into a package not much bigger than a notebook. And a machine so small wouldn’t have the expandability that characterized all the other Apple II models. Like Macintosh, it could be taken out of the box, plugged in, and put to work-no extra parts to buy, no cables to figure out. It was the II reinvented as an appliance.
As with all Apple projects, the IIc went by various code names during its development, for the sake of internal communications and to keep outsiders from knowing what was going on. The various names used included VLC (Very Low Cost), Yoda, ET, IIb (for “Book”), and Teddy (which stood for “Testing Every Day”). Also, following a long standing tradition at Apple, some of the code names assigned to the project at various times were names of children of people at Apple: Chels, Jason, Lolly, Sherry, and Zelda. These names persist in the source code for the firmware for the IIc as later printed in the technical reference manual; the serial port driver is called a “Lolly” driver.
During the time the IIc was under development, Apple was working on a change in the look of their products. They planned a more European styling, and a color scheme called “Snow White.” The IIc would be the first product with the new appearance and color.

Meanwhile, at the family reunion, one of the cousins uses a large spread sheet to keep track of everyone's physical addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. It was a big task!
Martin Welman agreed, the way A.R.G.U.S had become, bloated, slow, and ineffective, was nothing compared to what it could be. It disheartened him to think about. He felt, in a way, that he had helped the organization find its’ wings when it was but a fledgling. He was there Just after the beginning, and always thought he’d be there to see it end.
But that was not the case. Temple and Lyman had bigger plans. Better ones. They had designs that would cause A.R.G.U.S’s extinction, and soon that once mighty organization would be leveled to the ground.
And he wouldn’t have it any other way.
In a high-rise in Keystone City, A well-dressed man clinks a glass together, and look over the handful of faces at the table in front of him.
Temple: I want to thank you all for joining me. I know it wasn’t easy leaving your positions, your lives. But I promise you, this was worth it. You’ve made the right choice.
He sets the glass down, then takes a step to the right. Another man, across the wall to his left, nods and hits a button on a remote, triggering a screen to spread out on the wall, showing complex spreadsheets.
Temple: As you can see, A.R.G.U.S’s productivity has plummeted in recent years. What once was one of the most influential and thorough agencies for terrorism and Metahuman defense, has been reduced to pencil pushers, shiftless drones who only jump when the shiftless drone above them tells them to. But you are not shiftless drones.
The people at the table all nod their heads in agreement and look at each other earnestly. Martin Welman pounds a fist on the table and cries “hear, hear!”
Temple smiles and points at Martin, then indicates to the man with the remote, who presses the next button. Another slide goes by.
Temple: Now, with your funds, your cooperation, and your willingness to do good, I believe we can change all of that.
The slide changes.
Temple: Now, there are two methods of thought here, and at first, I was going to make the decision myself. But I am not above any of you, we’re all in this together, so I think, rather than me decide, we should cast this to a vote. All agreed?
Martin and the others murmur in agreement.
Temple: Splendid. Now, the first method of thought, is that we all pool our resources, and work to build our own agency to counteract A.R.G.U.S, show them up, humiliate them; and eventually render them obsolete.
The others and Martin murmur their interest.
Temple: And the second method of thought, is that we pool our resources and hire ourselves some contractors, then go through and . . . eliminate every A.R.G.U.S agent we find and rebuild from the ground up.
There are nods and smiles and conversation of approval.
Now, I will give you a few minutes to think it over, then, we shall vote.
He returns to the table and pours himself a glass of water. He sees Martin Welman, sitting in his seat, with a look of panic spreading through his face. Welman begins to sweat, to loosen his tie and shift uncomfortably in his seat. He’s become visibly pale, and jumps a little when Temple says,
Temple: Let us see the verdict. Now, all in favor of Option A, raise their hands.
The room is still. Temple smiles.
Temple: Now, all in favor of option B –
Hands raise unanimously. He outstretches his arms and smiles.
Temple: This is splendid, I’m glad you all wish for the same things. Now, I know of an agency outside of the law that can be a boon to us. I will review my connections with them. They’re an organization you may have heard of. They call themselves K—
Martin, suddenly standing: I apologize, Dan, but uh, I can’t be party to this. I only thought we would all be going into business together, starting a new firm. I didn’t realize we would resort to . . . to murder . . .
Dan Temple smiles and motions to the man with the remote control: Well, now you don’t have to, Martin.
Martin Welman crumples to the floor with a bullet in his brain.
Temple: Now, where were we? Ah Yes ---
But Temple can’t find it in himself to finish that sentence either. He finds himself blissful all of a sudden, restful even. He hadn’t even realized it until it happened, but now here he was, nearly falling asleep in front of his new partners.
His partners, likewise, have begun to feel drowsy, stretching out on the floor, and resting their heads on the table.
Unbeknownst to them, Hypnota stands in the doorway, doing what she does best.
Answer, behind her: Would you look at that. Better than Opium.
Hypnota: If you’d please, Mister Answer, I am nearly finished.
Answer: ‘Course, ‘course, knock em flat.
Behind them, Sonar fidgets impatiently. Though he was bred with many things, royal patience was not one of them, and there is something he’d like to get done soon. Bend notices, but says nothing. At both ends of the hallways, Danton Black stands watch, the blues insets of his suit glowing faintly.
Sonar’s attention rests finally on Agent Orange, jittering worse than Sonar. Agent Orange’s goggles look up at him,
Orange: Who is in that room I wonder.
Bend, also growing impatient: Why, I reckon it’s good old American President Richard Nixon, wouldn’t you, Wladon?
Sonar: I thought your president’s name was Donald?
Orange, standing and snarling ferociusly: NIXON. It’s because of that fucking Satanist my unit all died face down in the muck by the Viet-Cong’s hand! I’ll napalm him, just as he napalmed my entire division!
He fires a gas canister over Hypnota’s shoulder then charges forward. Answer slams her out of the way just as Orange barrels through, spraying napalm and chemicals in all directions. His attacks are met with the sounds of horrified and pained screams as Dan Temple and other clutch at their melting faces, appendages and bodies.
Then silence.
Agent Orange stands in the middle of the room, panting and giggling. Hypnota just stares at the carnage. It’s a stare that’s horrified, but not unfamiliar.
Answer: WHAT IN THE NAME OF COLONEL KURTZ JUST GOD DAMN HAPPENED.
Bend, casually: Waller said to eliminate the targets. She didn’t say how.
Answer: WHAT DID YOU THINK WE WERE DOING, HAVING A CLAM BAKE?
Bend, smiling: I’m sure what you and that sand-flea were doin’ would work fine, this just seemed faster.
He looks at Bito and grins. Wladon raises a hand to his mouth, and smiles behind it.
Answer slams Bend against the wall and jabs him rapidly and forcefully in the stomach with his cane, effectively destroying his smile.
Answer: I DON’T GIVE A BAT’S ASS. This was MY DAMN MISSION you worthless, whimpering, fingerless, d-grade moron. You do as I command or so help me I will shove this cane up your ass and whirl you around like a flag. You got that?
Bend slumps to the floor: Yeah . . . yeah I got it.
Answer: Good.
He strikes bend in the head with his cane. It’s one solid, ringing blow.
Answer: And don’t you ever refer to Ms. Bhatia in a racist manner in front of me ever again.
Bend: Y-yes . . . sir.
Answer: Doubleplusgood. Now stand up and take us home. Everybody gather around the asshole.
Sonar steps forward: Actually, dear leader, I have other plans.
Answer: Eh?
Before he can say anything else, there’s a furious ringing, followed by a few loud, staccato beeps. Little lights appear in each of the Squad Member’s necks, save for Answer’s. They each glow red once, then green, then wink out. Wladon stays where he stands, and holds aloft a tiny device that resembles a sort of detonator.
Hypnota: What is happening?
Sonar: I am glad you asked. When we were graced with the
presence of Mister Luthor, he assembled a device to deactivate his nanite and escape. Having studied that device, I had bits and pieces smuggled in, and, over time, made a little one of my own. Each and every one of you, save for our fearless leader of course, are now under my control.
Answer: You filthy bastard. I’ll tear your lungs out.
Sonar: Unlikely. Mister Black, if you’d be so kind to restrain him.
Multiplex’s dupes close in around Patten. One takes his cane, three more grab his arms and wrap their own around his chest. Answer is swearing a blue street and thrashing like a maniac, but it does no good.
Multiplex: Sorry, boss.
Multiplex: Sorry, boss.
Multiplex: Sorry, boss.
Multiplex: Sorry, boss.
Answer: I’ll find where you live, Wladon, and I’ll toss a fucking bomb in that place!
Sonar smiles: It is funny you should mention my home, Answer. Bend? If you’d please?
Bend stands, grinning widely: You got it, 'your highness', it’s about damn time we pulled this off.
He begins to create a green, angular portal around himself, Bend, Multiplex and his Dupes, Answer, still struggling, Hypnota with her hand on her mouth, and Orange, shivering in anticipation.
Sonar grabs the bottom of Answer’s mask, and lifts it up to expose Patten’s four-day stubble and reddened eyes.
Sonar: I say it is funny you should mention my home, Answer, because that is precisely where we are going.
There is the inevitable flash of green, leaving nothing but the charred bodies of the A.R.G.U.S agents. Martin Welman, his body charred through no fault of his own, soaks the carpet in red regret.

There are a group of bees in the genus Andrena that form a fairly distinct subgenus called Tracandrena. They are notorious for being difficult to separate out and, in particular, the males all look pretty much the same. I have created a little Excel spreadsheet that help separate out the females, if anyone is interested. This specimen of Andrena forbesii Is one of those species, it is fairly common in the spring, where he collects pollen from a wide variety of woody plants. This Picture Was Taken by Wayne Boo.

Excerpt:
People are eager for access to information, and public officials who try to stand in the way will discover that the Internet responds to information suppression by routing around the problem. Consider the story of a site you’ve never seen, ChicagoWorksForYou.com. In June 2005, a team of Web developers working for the city of Chicago began developing a site that would take the fifty-five different kinds of service requests that flow into the city’s 311 database—items like pothole repairs, tree-trimming, garbage-can placement, building permits, and restaurant inspections—and enable users to search by address and “map what’s happening in your neighborhood.” The idea was to showcase city services at the local level.
ChicagoWorks was finished in January 2006, with the support of Mayor Richard Daley’s office. But it also needed to be reviewed by the city’s aldermen and, according to a source who worked on the project, “they were very impressed with its functionality, but they were shocked at the possibility that it would go public.” Elections were coming up, and even if the site showed 90 percent of potholes being filled within thirty days, the powers-that-be didn’t want the public to know about the last 10 percent. ChicagoWorksForYou.com was shelved.
But the idea of a site that brings together information about city services in Chicago is alive and kicking. If you go to EveryBlock.com, launched in January 2008, and click on the Chicago link, you can drill down to any ward, neighborhood, or block and discover everything from the latest restaurant-inspection reports and building permits to recent crime reports and street closures. It’s all on a Google Map, and if you want to subscribe to updates about a particular location and type of report, the site kicks out custom RSS feeds. Says Daniel O’Neil, one of EveryBlock’s data mavens, “Crime and restaurant inspections are our hottest topics: Will I be killed today and will I vomit today?”
EveryBlock exists thanks to a generous grant from the Knight News Challenge, but its work, which covers eleven cities, including New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., offers a glimpse of the future of ubiquitous and hyperlocal information. EveryBlock’s team collects most of its data by scraping public sites and spreadsheets and turning it into understandable information that can be easily displayed and manipulated online.
It may not be long before residents of the cities covered by EveryBlock decide to contribute their own user-generated data to flesh out the picture that city officials might prefer to hide. EveryBlock founder Adrian Holovaty tells me that his team is figuring out ways for users to connect directly to each other through the site. Forums that allowed people to congregate online by neighborhood or interest would enable EveryBlock users to become their cities’ watchdogs.

A See-Through Society
HOW THE WEB IS OPENING UP OUR DEMOCRACY
Publication: Columbia Journalism Review
Micah Sifry
January 15, 2009
It may be a while before the people who run the U.S. House of Representatives’ Web service forget the week of September 29, 2008. That’s when the enormous public interest in the financial bailout legislation, coupled with unprecedented numbers of e-mails to House members, effectively crashed www.house.gov. On Tuesday of that week, a day after the House voted down the first version of the bailout bill, House administrators had to limit the number of incoming e-mails processed by the site’s “Write Your Representative” function. Demand for the text of the legislation was so intense that third-party sites that track Congress were also swamped. GovTrack.us, a private site that produces a user-friendly guide to congressional legislation, had to shut down. Its owner, Josh Tauberer, posted a message reading, “So many people are searching for the economic relief bill that GovTrack can’t handle it. Take a break and come back later when the world cools off.”
Once people did get their eyes on the bill’s text, they tore into it with zeal. Nearly a thousand comments were posted between September 22 and October 5 on PublicMarkup.org, a site that enables the public to examine and debate the text of proposed legislation set up by the Sunlight Foundation, an advocacy group for government transparency (full disclosure: I am a senior technology adviser to Sunlight). Meanwhile, thousands of bloggers zeroed in on the many earmarks in the bill, such as the infamous reduction in taxes for wooden-arrow manufacturers. Others focused on members who voted for the bill, analyzing their campaign contributors and arguing that Wall Street donations influenced their vote.
The explosion of public engagement online around the bailout bill signals something profound: the beginning of a new age of political transparency. As more people go online to find, create, and share vital political information with one another; as the cost of creating, combining, storing, and sharing information drops toward zero; and as the tools for analyzing data and connecting people become more powerful and easier to use, politics and governance alike are inexorably becoming more open.
We are heading toward a world in which one-click universal disclosure, real-time reporting by both professionals and amateurs, dazzling data visualizations that tell compelling new stories, and the people’s ability to watch their government from below (what the French call sousveillance) are becoming commonplace. Despite the detour of the Bush years, citizens will have more opportunity at all levels of government to take an active part in understanding and participating in the democratic decisions that affect their lives.
Log On, Speak Out
The low-cost, high-speed, always-on Internet is changing the ecology of how people consume and create political information. The Pew Internet & American Life Project estimates that roughly 75 percent of all American adults, or about 168 million people, go online or use e-mail at least occasionally. A digital divide still haunts the United States, but among Americans aged eighteen to forty-nine, that online proportion is closer to 90 percent. Television remains by far the dominant political information source, but in October 2008, a third of Americans said their main provider of political information was the Internet—more than triple the number from four years earlier, according to another Pew study. Nearly half of eighteen-to-twenty-nine-year-olds said the Internet was their main source of political info.
Meanwhile, we’re poised for a revolution in participation, not just in consumption, thanks to the Web. People talk, share, and talk back online. According to yet another study by Pew, this one in December 2007, one in five U.S. adults who use the Internet reported sharing something online that they created themselves; one in three say they’ve posted a comment or rated something online.
People are eager for access to information, and public officials who try to stand in the way will discover that the Internet responds to information suppression by routing around the problem. Consider the story of a site you’ve never seen, ChicagoWorksForYou.com. In June 2005, a team of Web developers working for the city of Chicago began developing a site that would take the fifty-five different kinds of service requests that flow into the city’s 311 database—items like pothole repairs, tree-trimming, garbage-can placement, building permits, and restaurant inspections—and enable users to search by address and “map what’s happening in your neighborhood.” The idea was to showcase city services at the local level.

Forums that allowed people to congregate online by neighborhood or interest would enable EveryBlock users to become their cities’ watchdogs. If city agencies still won’t say how many potholes are left unfilled after thirty days, people could share and track that information themselves.
Such a joint effort is no stretch to young people who have grown up online. Consider just a couple of examples: since 1999, RateMyTeachers.com and RateMyProfessors.com have collected more than sixteen million user-generated ratings on more than two million teachers and professors. The two sites get anywhere from half a million to a million unique visitors a month. Yelp.com, a user-generated review service, says its members have written more than four million local reviews since its founding in 2004. As the younger generation settles down and starts raising families, there’s every reason to expect that its members will carry these habits of networking and sharing information into tracking more serious quality-of-life issues, as well as politics.
Cities Lead the Way
Recognizing this trend, some public officials are plunging in. In his “State of the City” speech in January 2008, New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg promised to “roll out the mother of all accountability tools.” It is called Citywide Performance Reporting, and Bloomberg promised it would put “a wealth of data at people’s fingertips—fire response times, noise complaints, trees planted by the Parks Department, you name it. More than five hundred different measurements from forty-five city agencies.” Bloomberg, whose wealth was built on the financial-information company he built, says he likes to think of the service as a “Bloomberg terminal for city government—except that it’s free.”
Bloomberg’s vision is only partly fulfilled so far. A visitor to the city’s site (nyc.gov) would have a hard time finding the “Bloomberg terminal for city government” because it’s tucked several layers down on the Mayor’s Office of Operations page, with no pointers from the home page.
Still, the amount of data it provides is impressive. You can learn that the number of families with children entering the city shelter system is up 31 percent over last year, and that the city considers this a sign of declining performance by the system. Or you can discover that the median time the city department of consumer affairs took to process a complaint was twenty-two business days, and that that is considered positive! Another related tool, called NYC*scout, allows anyone to see where recent service requests have been made, and with a little bit of effort you can make comparisons between different community districts. New York’s monitoring tools still leave much to be desired, however, because they withhold the raw data—specific addresses and dates-of-service requests—that are the bones of these reports. This means the city is still resisting fully sharing the public’s data with the public.
Compare that to the approach of the District of Columbia. Since 2006, all the raw data it has collected on government operations, education, health care, crime, and dozens of other topics has been available for free to the public via 260 live data feeds. The city’s CapStat online service also allows anyone to track the performance of individual agencies, monitor neighborhood services and quality-of-life issues, and make suggestions for improvement. Vivek Kundra, D.C.’s innovative chief technology officer, calls this “building the digital public square.” In mid-October, he announced an “Apps for Democracy” contest that offered $20,000 in cash prizes for outside developers and designers of Web sites and tools that made use of the city’s data catalog.
In just a few weeks, Kundra received nearly fifty finished Web applications. The winners included:
* iLive.at, a site that shows with one click all the local information around one address, including the closest places to go shopping, buy gas, or mail a letter; the locations of recently reported crimes; and the demographic makeup of the neighborhood;
* Where’s My Money, DC?—a tool that meshes with Facebook and enables users to look up and discuss all city expenditures above $2,500; and
* Stumble Safely, an online guide to the best bars and safe paths on which to stumble home after a night out.
The lesson of the “Apps for Democracy” contest is simple: a critical mass of citizens with the skills and the appetite to engage with public agencies stands ready to co-create a new kind of government transparency.
Under traditional government procurement practices, it would have taken Kundra months just to post a “request for proposals” and get responses. Finished sites would have taken months, even years, for big government contractors to complete. The cost for fifty working Web sites would have been in the millions. Not so when you give the public robust data resources and the freedom to innovate that is inherent to today’s Web.
The Whole Picture
So, how will the Web ultimately alter the nature of political transparency? Four major trends are developing.
First, the day is not far off when it will be possible to see, at a glance, the most significant ways an individual, lobbyist, corporation, or interest group is trying to influence the government. Here’s how Ellen Miller, executive director of the Sunlight Foundation and a longtime proponent of open government, sees the future of transparency online: “If I search for Exxon, I want one-click disclosure,” she says. “I want to see who its pac is giving money to, who its executives and employees are supporting, at the state and federal levels; who does its lobbying, whom they’re meeting with and what they’re lobbying on; whether it’s employing former government officials, or vice versa, if any of its ex-employees are in government; whether any of those people have flown on the company’s jets. And then I also want to know what contracts, grants, or earmarks the company has gotten and whether they were competitively bid.”
She continues: “If I look up a senator, I want an up-to-date list of his campaign contributors—not one that is months out of date because the Senate still files those reports on paper. I want to see his public calendar of meetings. I want to know what earmarks he’s sponsored and obtained. I want to know whether he is connected to a private charity that people might be funneling money to. I want to see an up-to-date list of his financial assets, along with all the more mundane things, like a list of bills he’s sponsored, votes he’s taken, and public statements he’s made. And I want it all reported and available online in a timely fashion.”
This vision isn’t all that far away. In the last three years, thanks in large measure to support from Sunlight, OMB Watch (a nonprofit advocacy organization that focuses on budget issues, regulatory policy, and access to government) created FedSpending.org, a searchable online database of all government contracts and spending. The Center for Responsive Politics (OpenSecrets.org), meanwhile, has developed searchable databases of current lobbying reports, personal financial disclosure statements of members of Congress, sponsored travel, and employment records of nearly ten thousand people who have moved through the revolving door between government and lobbying. Taxpayers for Common Sense (Taxpayer.net) is putting the finishing touches on a complete online database of 2008 earmarks.
The National Institute on Money in State Politics, headed by Ed Bender, is filling in the picture at the state level, aiming to give the public “as complete a picture as possible of its elected leaders and their actions, and offer information that helps the public understand those actions,” he says. “This would start with the candidates running for offices, their biographies and their donors, and would follow them into the statehouses to their committee assignments and relationships with lobbyists, and finally to the legislation that they sponsor and vote for, and who benefits from those actions.”
The incoming Obama administration, meanwhile, has expressed a commitment to expanding government transparency, promising as part of its “ethics agenda” platform (change.gov/agenda/ethics_agenda) to create a “centralized Internet database of lobbying reports, ethics records, and campaign-finance filings in a searchable, sortable, and downloadable format,” as well as a “ ‘contracts and influence’ database that will disclose how much federal contractors spend on lobbying, and what contracts they are getting and how well they complete them.”
To insure that all citizens can access such a database, we can hope that Obama pushes universal Internet access as part of his investment in infrastructure. As Andrew Rasiej and I argued in Politico in December, “Just as we recognized with the Universal Service Act in the 1930s that we had to take steps to ensure everyone access to the phone network, we need to do the same today with affordable access to high-speed Internet. Everything else flows from this. Otherwise, we risk leaving half our population behind and worsening inequality rather than reducing it.”
3-D Journalism
A second trend propelling us toward a greater degree of political transparency is data visualization. The tools for converting boring lists and lines of numbers into beautiful, compelling images get more powerful every day, enabling a new kind of 3-D journalism: dynamic and data-driven. And in many cases, news consumers can manipulate the resulting image or chart, drilling into its layers of information to follow their own interests. My favorite examples include:
* The Huffington Post’s Fundrace, which mapped campaign contributions to the 2008 presidential candidates by name and address, enabling anyone to see whom their neighbors might be giving to;
* The New York Times’s debate analyzer, which converted each candidate debate into an interactive chart showing word counts and speaking time, and enabled readers to search for key words or fast forward; and
* The Sunlight Foundation and Taxpayers for Common Sense’s Earmarks Watch Map (earmarkwatch.org/mapped),which layered the thousands of earmarks in the fiscal 2008 defense-appropriations bill over a map of the country allowing a viewer to zero in on specific sites and see how the Pentagon scatters money in practically every corner of the U.S.
The use of such tools is engendering a collective understanding of, as Paul Simon once sang, the way we look to us all. As news consumers grow used to seeing people like CNN’s John King use a highly interactive map of the United States to explain local voting returns, demand for these kinds of visualizations will only grow.
Little Brother Is Watching, Too
The third trend fueling the expansion of political transparency is sousveillance, or watching from below. It can be done by random people, armed with little more than a camera-equipped cell phone, who happen to be in the right place at the right time. Or it can be done by widely dispersed individuals acting in concert to ferret out a vital piece of information or trend, what has been called “distributed journalism.” In effect, Big Brother is being watched by millions of Little Brothers.
For example, back in August, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom was having coffee at a Starbucks in Malibu when he was spotted by a blogger who took a couple of photos and posted them online. The blogger noted that Newsom was “talking campaign strategy” with someone, but didn’t know who. The pictures came to the attention of San Francisco Chronicle reporter Carla Marinucci, who identified that person as political consultant Garry South. Soon political bloggers were having a field day, pointing out that the liberal mayor was meeting with one of the more conservative Democratic consultants around. This is sousveillance at its simplest.
The citizen-journalism project “Off the Bus,” which ultimately attracted thousands of volunteer reporters who posted their work on The Huffington Post during the 2008 election, was sousveillance en masse. Much of their work was too opinionated or first-person oriented to really break news, but Mayhill Fowler’s reporting of Barack Obama’s offhand remarks at a San Francisco fundraiser about “bitter” blue-collar workers at least briefly changed the course of the campaign. And there are numerous examples of bloggers and their readers acting in concert to expose some hidden fact. The coalition of bloggers known as the “Porkbusters” were at the center of an effort to expose which senator had put a secret hold on a bill creating a federal database of government spending, co-sponsored by none other than Barack Obama and Tom Coburn. Porkbusters asked their readers to call their senators, and by this reporting process, discovered that Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska was the culprit. Soon thereafter, he released his hold. Likewise, Josh Marshall has frequently asked readers of Talking Points Memo to help him spot local stories that might be part of a larger pattern. It was this technique that helped him piece together the story of the firings of U.S. Attorneys around the country, for which he won the Polk Award.
The World’s A-Twitter
The final trend that is changing the nature of transparency is the rise of what some call the World Live Web. Using everything from mobile phones that can stream video live online to simple text message postings to the micro-blogging service Twitter, people are contributing to a real-time patter of information about what is going on around them. Much of what results is little more than noise, but increasingly sophisticated and simple-to-use filtering tools can turn some of it into information of value.
For example, in just a matter of weeks before the November election in the U.S., a group of volunteer bloggers and Web developers loosely affiliated with the blog I edit, techPresident.com, built a monitoring project called Twitter Vote Report. Voters were encouraged to use Twitter, as well as other tools like iPhones, to post reports on the quality of their voting experience. Nearly twelve thousand reports flowed in, and the result was a real-time picture of election-day complications and wait times that a number of journalistic organizations, including NPR, PBS, and several newspapers, relied on for their reporting.
Nothing to Hide
The question for our leaders, as we head into a world where bottom-up, user-generated transparency is becoming more of a reality, is whether they will embrace this change and show that they have nothing to hide. Will they actively share all that is relevant to their government service with the people who, after all, pay their salaries? Will they trust the public to understand the complexities of that information, instead of treating them like children who can’t handle the truth?
The question for citizens, meanwhile, is, Will we use this new access to information to create a more open and deliberative democracy? Or will citizens just use the Web to play “gotcha” games with politicians, damaging the discourse instead of uplifting it?
“People tend not to trust what is hidden,” write the authors of the November 2008 report by a collection of openness advocates entitled “Moving Toward a 21st Century Right-to-Know Agenda.” “Transparency is a powerful tool to demonstrate to the public that the government is spending our money wisely, that politicians are not in the pocket of lobbyists and special-interest groups, that government is operating in an accountable manner, and that decisions are made to ensure the safety and protection of all Americans.” In the end, transparency breeds trust. Or rather, transparency enables leaders to earn our trust. In the near future, they may have to, because more and more of us are watching.
I should really put together a spreadsheet and graph to determine if the chips per dollar takes a spike upwards at any point.
Sandro and I spent a lovely hour poring over a spreadsheet, a calendar and a map working out our itinerary for our trip.
We successfully filled in all our days with locations and visits to relatives, all the while, Abi had flaked it on her rug on the couch.

An AFOL working in a building being renovated in York spotted this amazing frozen moment. Here it is in all its grimy glory before Iain cleans it up; I'm so glad I got to see it in this ghost-like form. In the '60s LEGO began a sideline called Modulex, consisting of smaller bricks that are based on 1:1:1 ratio cubes. these were aimed at architects but later they released sets aimed at planners and project managers. Here we see the Yorkshire Building Society marking out two years with the month and week tiles. Tasks or projects are listed below on the large blank tiles and bricks added in the relevant weeks. Not seen here is the string attached to two bricks used as a current date marker, or things like a critical workflow path.

Oh how this horrible spreadsheet plagued us for months!! 5/2007 - 7/24/2007, to be exact. You can see all the areas we had to deal with on the right side (I will add notes describing them in more detail), and all the steps we had to do on the top. The first 6 columns represent over 50% of the total stress. Carolyn says that I actually did most of the polyurethaning while she was processing the brushes. Lots of "N/A"s near the end helped speed thigns up -- in some cases, 2 layers of polyurethane was sufficient. Individual judgments were made on a case-by-case basis, something a so-called professional would not bother with. WE WERE FINALLY DONE ENOUGH TO CELEBRATE!!
Actually, to be completely accurate -- we still had some final touch-up sanding to do... But nothing that required wood stain, polyurethane, ventilation, masks, gloves, dropclothes, painter's tape, and all the hassle. Just some casual final touches with the least rough (400-grit) sandpaper to ensure that the finaly (usually 4th) polyurethane coat was smooth.
BACKSTORY: Anyone who reads our contract (link below) can see that it specified to move the closet and built-in shelves. But Virginia Design Builders's workers -- the workers hired by Daniel M. Lopez -- were unable to properly move the closet without destroying it. And they "accidentally" threw away our shelves. They also broke the trim at the edge of the closet.
And then guess what? The asshole refused to stain ANY of it, despite the fact that the only reason the color now didn't match was due to their inability to properly execute a contract. (It was a 3 month contract and was not finished for over 3 years.) This left us having to stain WAY more wood than we otherwise would have. It was quite literally a difference of several months' work, as we both had jobs (at the time), and spare time at home has been in deficit for awhile.
STAINING IS A PAIN: Just for reference, proper wood staining is a MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR pain in the ass. The wood filling, the sanding, the pre-conditioning, staining, the wiping, the dropcloths, the multiple coats of everything, the (4) polyurethane coats [which often required holding a lamp in one hand, to reflect light on it to ensure evenness], and the final sanding. And don't get me started on the timing: Stain 20 minutes after pre-conditioning, but only for 2 hours; stain in 20 minute cycles consisting of 4 sub-cycles: stain area #1, stain area #2, wipe area #1, wipe area #2. Then break, get new gloves, and start over. A 20 minute cycle might equal 2 shelves, or 2 boards from ceiling to floor. Our spreadsheet had over 200 cells. At the end of the day, the only way to get stain off your skin was to apply paint thinner directly to your skin in violation of the instructions, common sense, and one's best interests...
