“I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION, (SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY NOW AVAILABLE), INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL”San Francisco — A U.S. federal appeals court ruled on Wednesday that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools is unconstitutional because…

… Or not. I left the Javits Center early, and got to LaGuardia in plenty of time to get on an earlier flight. It would be a sweet end to an otherwise exhausting month to get home early and relax. But the gods of air travel decided to hold on for just a little bit…

Check this out: you can get MSN Instant Messenger updates whenever your favorite blogs update. Nice. But what if you could combine with an RSS feed? Ooh… (Apologies in advance to any who are certain this makes no sense.) Geek stuff aside, there are some positive implications for any organization looking to rely on weblogs…

Checking the RSS truncation. This should eliminate this sentence in the RSS feed, but post it to the weblog.

… New York. Thankfully, this month from hell ends this week. After this week, I’m not scheduled to travel anywhere for several weeks. Proof I’ve been on the road too long? The other day I nearly dialed “0” to leave a wake-up call. I was home. On the plus side, I’m staying at the Hilton…
