Not the first time something like this has been done, I think, but pretty cool nonetheless. I may have to catch up and read along….

Hey Scoble; Chris said something interesting.

Lawrence Lessig creates meaning from chaos

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

This is a tremendously moving, sometimes horrifying, and even a little inspiring story. Also truly well-written.
I saw Professor Lessig’s post about it this morning and was curious what those ghosts might be. Naturally once I waited long enough, the document came to me in that inimitable RSS kind of way, via John Battelle’s […]

David Corn on the Gang of 14

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

David Corn does a great job recapping some of the many concerns I have with the “compromise” in the Senate yesterday.
To reiterate (because I think it’s important), the Democrats gained nothing here. In fact they lost ground, because now that there’s a compromise in place, when the showdown comes (and come it will), the […]

“Moderation in all things.” ~Terence

BuzzMachine… by Jeff Jarvis
I call avoiding stupidity victory, myself. I call moderation virtue.
I’d like to agree. But I can’t. This wasn’t compromise on the part of the Democrats, it was capitulation. Senators who have legitimate concerns about judicial activism stood across the table from senators willing to change the rules to get […]

When Steve Gillmor wrote:
I wish Joshua Schacter would respond to Chris Alden and work out a Rojo flag-to-del.ico.us bridge so I can autopopulate my del.icio.us feed with items.
I responded by saying that it seemed an easy fix for something like Greasemonkey to take care of. Knowing from the same post that Steve is running […]

A big (belated) shout-out to Technorati!

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

Specifically to Niall Kennedy and Dave Sifry, both of whom responded personally to my Technorati Tag Problems (redux) post. In fact, Niall responded so quickly that it was almost real-time, like an IM conversation (maybe he sees those Technorati: Search for Niall Kennedy results straight from the database ).
Niall’s help was invaluable, as […]

Nivi : Greasemonkey will blow up business models (as well as your mind)
It lets you use their web site, their data, their servers, their work to serve your purpose and function. There will soon be an army of hackers enhancing every site you use. Whether that site likes it or not.
Babak Nivi posts a good […]

Bokardo: Wow!

Bokardo
Bokardo is an interface design blog written by Joshua Porter…
…and a very innovative one, to boot.
Arrived at the site because a post showed up in my PubSub: Attention.xml feed. There was a factual inaccuracy (or what I perceived to be one) that I wanted to correct [here is the post].
Then I saw the comment […]
