• The Army Broke My Politics

  Fri Jul 7, 2006
  • I don’t know, exactly, how the government knew about my subconscious desire to perform in the navy’s band (or join The Postal Service) ...But seriously, it all reminds me a whole lot of all that econ. "the States need more minimum wage, blue collar workers" thing. Meh.

• Blog Epitaphs? Get Me Rewrite!

  Sun Feb 26, 2006
  • One of the chief problems with some chronicles of blogging's demise is their confusion about definitions. . . Yes. Precisely. "Web 2.0"? I don't honestly think so.

  • I never actually followed him or anything, but the fact that any Technorati Top 100 blogger would quit is kind of sobering, although I'm by no means astounded that people contributed so little after the first three-week drive. It's really too bad, though.

  • newsvine has become a forum?

• New Writing Tools are Live at The Vine

  Fri Feb 3, 2006
  • I think that incorporating a WYSIWYG editor is the only move possible (although I too think user option is a good idea). While I don't mind typing HTML personally, if Newsvine were to stick to that, it would have a hard time growing far beyond the geek community. So kudos.

• "World" champions?

  Sun Feb 5, 2006
  • Sport leagues in the United States are great, but to use the term "world champions" other countries have to be part of the competition...

• Google Is Your Friend
