Hey AKMA — what do you make of this? Turns out Dan Brown left out the most controversial part of The Da Vinci Code was that Jesus may have survived the crucifixion? Whoa. (Brown claims he has plenty of supporting theories as to how this may have been, but ultimately decided it would have been…

I’m in Monterey, at the Red Herring Spring conference, and am blogging from the RH100 presentations. This is great stuff — CEOs from some remarkable companies are presenting about their company strategy. I only wish I understood half of what was being discussed. If you go to Recent changes you can see my recent posts,…

I’m headed off to Monterey, California tomorrow to attend the Red Herring Spring Conference. (It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.) As a sponsor, we’ve set up a Socialtext Eventspace for the event, and look to encourage quite a bit of conversation amongst the Red Herring 100 winners and various attendees. As…

I’m very pleased to announce the Obama blog, the weblog for Senator Barack Obama. Barack is running for U.S. Senate for the seat that Peter Fitzgerald is vacating. You may notice a familiar name attached to some of the posts — I’m working with the campaign to help develop the blog. (Several veterans from the…

This is more than a bit ironic, and just a tad embarassing. But it’s a good story, so I’ll share it.

(Gmail doesn’t.) Clean UI?…

Be sure to read David Weinberger’s reports from Massachusetts. Of the legalization of gay marriage in his home state of Massachusetts, he writes: What other freedoms might we grant? What other ways might we find to accept love? [Joho the Blog] The whole post is worth reading. For me, it was listening to the NPR…

Remember how addicted to their Blackberries Congress became? Now it seems as if iPods may be the next “It” gadget on The Hill: Testifying at a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing on the legislation he and Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va., introduced last year, Doolittle gave a vigorous pitch for changes opposed by the two…

Here I was, thinking this story in this week’s The Onion was a parody. Turns out it was just prescient. Of course, it’s not the first time The Onion has predicted the future when it comes to politics. (Note: that link takes you to an actual article in the The Onion, authored the week of…

Well, I don’t really care about the massive licensing debate that’s raging in the blogosphere. This is sophisticated software, and it’s worth paying for. End of story. If you want free software, try Blogger. If you want low-cost blogging software, TypePad is fine. Movable Type is a robust content management system that rivals sophisticated CMS…
