New header image for the blog, it’s a frame of the Talking Heads 1983 live performance of Life During Wartime. It’s a beautiful high energy song, the dancing, they’re all so attractive, so young — the sheer joy of it, it’s totally worth savoring. Anybody have any questions? 😄#

Dave “blogging” as you call it is just a WYSIWYG website.

Dave:
I was blogging in 1993 and so were a lot of other people only they were using FrontPage and Zines.
You did not invent online writing.

your dream of an http server on every box is the developer in you coming out 🙂
most likely will be some p2p solutions where you can stream media from different sources to get it faster.
also, no one is thinking about this, except us, but if all that media is located on the central home computer…then distributing it to others would be better if it was to come from other peers rather than the “central authority.” It will also let the company save on bandwidth…
so, you wana help Dave?

Per this quote from the api wires this morning:
“”The Middle East isn’t a region to be dominated by Iran. The Gulf isn’t a body of water to be controlled by Iran. That’s why we’ve seen the United States station two carrier battle groups in the region,” Burns said in an address to the Dubai-based Gulf Research Center, an influential think-tank.”
Call me crazy, but this seems not presciently offensive, but planned to draw enemy fire (terrorist or state of Iran) thereby giving America’s war-machine a new excuse to assert itself in the middle-east.
Given that the current Administration has 2 years left to implement a means for insuring the resilience of their real agenda (control of middle east oil fields [thwarting china] and pricing [$2.50 a gallon at the pump is not high enough]) through the upcoming Democratic resurgence, I think military confrontation with Iran is being “engineered & implemented.”
