Well, after reading Doc talk about whuffie several times, I finally picked up Cory Doctorow’s Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. So far (to chapter 4) it’s a good read, similar in style to what I’ve read of Cory’s other works. An easy read, and a difficult one. Good stuff. […]

Bloglines | Podcasting
Experienced podcast listeners like to use Bloglines to monitor for updates and get notification when new podcasts are available…
Hmmm.
I wonder how many “experienced podcast listeners” Bloglines asked before they printed this little tidbit.
In point of fact, I do currently use Bloglines to track a few podcasts. But for the most part I […]

Today was the first day of the year that the temperature broke 70°. What an awesome day (though it was windy)! I’m so glad spring is finally here - even though it was a fairly mild winter.
There’s a tavern in Middleton that has a great tradition. They call it (I think) 70° […]

A few weeks ago I drove my wife to the airport for a trip back to her family’s home. While filling up the gas before leaving town I was considering the price of gas and how rapidly it had risen over the last few weeks. I started considering how what I’d heard about […]

Well, after having so much success with the plugin I worked out last week, I spent an hour or so this morning slamming together a Mycroft plugin for the Technorati engine. Once installed, a url or keyword typed into the search box or sidebar will take you to the Technorati results page for that […]

You know, much as I like writing code, I don’t have much time to do so for myself. Too many other things are more important. I have plenty of ideas, but mostly they don’t stick around for long (maybe I ought to write them down somewheres).
This being the case, it was […]

FlickrBlog
Yahoo! acquires flickr.
Wow. I hope this is cool. Flickr (in whose realm I’m only the merest neophyte) is greatly cool photo engine. Not only that, but it seems to be one that might actually have a business model (oooh. ahhh.).
Yahoo’s been doing some really cool stuff recently, and their entre […]

Scripting News: 3/18/2005
It’s good to see that Russ Feingold is getting attention outside of Wisconsin.
Last year, when the pollsters came to ask who I was voting for for President, I universally said “Russ Fiengold”. I didn’t, of course, but wished I could have.
Thinking about voting for Russ makes me feel good about my vote […]

I’ve really been getting in to book blogs lately, so this effort by Thomas Nelson Publishers is good news to me. I’m also very intrigued and pleased by the openness with which they’re pursuing this blogging policy.

I mean, since the US Immigration Office says you can’t blog for a living, what’s the point?
Seriosuly though, Jeremy Wright needs and deserves our support. I don’t know if commonucating with the DHS at their website will do any good, but if it makes you feel better, be my guest.
