Who I am; Misplaced Pages
|
I'm a public policy analyst by training and an NGO manager by profession. At the moment my main Misplaced Pages interests concern Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) and the propaganda opposing it, although I hope to participate in other articles on subjects within my areas of expertise.
This user is a practitioner of parody, as well as whimsy and sarcasm.
This user is politically liberal.
Articles I have edited
- Personal Rapid Transit

- George Allen (U.S. politician)

Education
I attended the University of Washington twice, first receiving a B.A. from the Political Science department, the second time a Masters from the Graduate School of Public Affairs, which now insists on calling itself The Evans School (what Dale Evans had to do with public policy, I have no idea).
K Network
|
The Kinetic Network is my primary online presence, launched at the end of 2000 and thereafter subjected to regular expansions, contractions and makeovers. The Particulars page links to a design portfolio of some other sites I designed and administer. Think on this: Is there a rate card?
I blog on the red page, Mr_Blog's Left Turn (aka Wiseline Institute NW). Best of Wiseline Institute
The indigo page, the Capper National Laboratory, contains substantial background information concerning applied uses of Mystery Science Theater 3000, aka online captioning (capping). The Laboratory page is fairly update-free these days.
Personal Rapid Transit
My involvement in the field of Personal Rapid Transit is as a journalist, commentator and researcher (see K Network gold page). I am a proponent of the technology, tending to approach the subject from the standpoint of PRT as a policy option, and how it would be experienced by the end-user. I also counsel proponents to be realistic with their promises, and consider how their designs will interact with conventional technologies.
Debunking the anti-PRT propaganda campaign
(Welcome Misplaced Pages Review readers!) Personal Rapid Transit is somewhat misunderstood, due in part to the volume and nature of incorrect claims made by opponents. Here are fact-based analyses (as well as satire and parody) of those erroneous claims:
- See How They Distort Library (K Network)
- "PRT Is a Joke" Is a Joke (blog)
On Misplaced Pages
- The PRT opponent opens COI action against me; I am found to be "helpful and straightforward", "a model editor" Aug. 8-10, 2007
- Double Jeopardy? Having lost his COI claim aginst me, the PRT opponent next attempts to try me in the court of Wikipublic opinion, and repeating the same bias claims that have already been found to be groundless. Aug. 21-23, 2007
- PRT opponent attempts to bring me into COI dispute, June 10-19, 2007 (See Mark Douglas Olson)
- PRT discussion concludes that PRT opponent's photo simulation is inaccurate, biased April 1-3, 2006
- PRT opponent can't get the quote right, then tries to change the subject, Feb. 7-9, 2006 (see What do we do about this passage)
