Disconnecting the ‘Annex’
On 2/7/06 this blog got an annex on wordpress.com that mirrored the content here.
The purpose was twofold: 1. It allowed people to comment on my writing and 2. It would trackback to blogs I Iink to. Over time these functions became less important. People don’t pay so much attention to trackback, and [...]

What if Country Joe was right?
What if Edwards had been the nominee?
Shudder to think what would have happened if Edwards had come out on top after the primaries. No doubt he would have had to withdraw in disgrace, the way Eagleton withdrew in 1972. Could he have made it all the [...]

Could Vista fail?
I was thinking about Vista yesterday when I was working on my Asus Eee PC, getting it ready to be my media workstation during the Democratic Convention later this month.

I’ve got about one and a half weeks before I start the roadtrip to Denver, and in that time I want to do some prep, if there’s interest, with other bloggers who will be there, or people who are covering the convention remotely, or are just interested in what’s happening there.
I have a [...]

Micro-blogging meetup in September?
Following up on yesterday’s piece about fragmentation in the micro-blogging world; on my walk yesterday I took a Steve Gillmor podcast with me, an interview with Dustin Sailings, the developer of TwitterSpy.

I heard that AA has wifi on some cross-country flights. Thinking I’m going to NY sometime in the next week or so — therefore — I want to figure out which flights are the ones blessed with wifi so I can try it out and report on the quality and performance, etc.

Playing the race card
Obama plays the race card when he takes the stage. Look at his face. He’s an African-American. There’s the race card. Can’t be hidden. It’s right there. Next issue.
PS: When McCain takes the stage he plays the “age card.”

I feel great!
Point of View!
It’s all about where you’re lookin at it from.
Remember that awesome picture of Obama speaking in Berlin on July 24?
Did you see all those digital cameras?
Did you wonder what their pictures look like?
Check it out.
Watching them watch Obama watching Obama watching them.
McCain runs a cowardly sleazy ad, early
