Struggling Airline Helped By Friendly GiantFORT WORTH, TX— Hit hard by the recession and the aftermath of Sept. 11, American Airlines has received some much-needed assistance from a friendly giant named Urno. “Urno has been of enormous help to us, mostly by picking up planes and running them to their destinations to cut fuel expenses,”…

I’m on the road on the west coast tonight, and got to the hotel in time to watch the 24 season finale. I’ve been hooked since the first episode (I’ve always been a Kiefer Sutherland fan). In spite of the fact that this is the conclusion to twenty-four episodes, and that it will no doubt…

Thanks to Dave for linking to my request for help on OPML to Palm integration; I’ve had three recommendations (ShadowPlan, Progect, and one other). Shadow seems the most likely candidate for success – it uses XML, just not OPML (it wasn’t out when Jeff Mitchell, the author, started working on it). An XSLT style sheet to translate…

I’m heading to San Antonio now, speaking at the Association of Legal Administrators Annual Conference. Updates may be sporadic for a few days…

I’m just now starting to understand the power of Radio’s outliner as a content creation tool; see this article as a great overview of how you can use the outliner for more than is immediately apparent. I just love that with each day, I learn more about what Radio can do. (Even more impressive: these…

Corporate profitability will not increase as it has in the past (it is currently at a very high percentage of GDP) and interest rates have little room to…

Found this while browsing Marc Barrot’s site tonight. It’s using Marc Barrot’s Active Renderer tool, and it takes your Radio outlines and automatically renders them as DHTML (Dynamic HTML, a nice visual presentation of HTML content) relying on cascading style sheets (CSS) and Javascript. You can collapse and expand elements of the outline at will,…

Found this great little tool while surfing over at Radio Userland’s Discussion page. It’s very similar to Blogger’s “blog this!” bookmarklet (a bookmarklet is a javascript button that gets added to your IE toolbar). While browsing, if  you see an item you want to add to your blog, just highlight the text you want to post,…

The goal is to provide a list of links that appear on my weblog home page that is easy to edit. The default link list macro in Radio, the navigatorLinks macro, had little formatting flexibility and was difficult to edit. I originally tried Jon Udell’s “my subscriptions” macro – but the resulting list of links had…
