My T40 showed up last week, but in the midst of bruising, nicking or otherwise torturing my body in an attempt to finish the basement I didn’t have much time to play with it. Now that I’ve had a few days to get to know it, here’s my initial response: it’s spectacular. Easily the best…

I’m happy to announce that as of today, I’ve joined Socialtext to head up business development. Those that have read this weblog for a while know that early on I was particularly excited about the potential that weblogs represent for business use. Nearly two years ago, I wrote the following as I started to recognize…

A very close friend of mine found out last week that his two year-old daughter has A.L.L. (acute lymphoblastic leukemia). In the span of a couple hours, they went from having a fussy girl with a nagging cold to a fussy girl with leukemia. She started chemo that afternoon, and was released from the hospital…

It is not rational to hate George W. Bush, just as it was not rational to hate Bill Clinton.…

I’ve wanted to write about the whole gay marriage flap lately, but haven’t had time nor have I found anything particularly new to say on the subject. Then I stumbled on ambivalent imbroglio, a weblog by law student at George Washington University. I have that site to thank for the link to 12 reasons Gay…

Interesting: Sunday night, CNN is doing a one-hour inside the Dean campaign special. Included at the link are some pop-ups about campaign staff, a timeline, and other items. Not sure how revealing this will be, but might make for some interesting watching. Me? I’ll be cleaning the house after my 3 4 year-old’s birthday party.…

I’m impressed with Kerry’s showing. I’m the last guy to offer up an opinion about how he pulled it off, but like many in this election, I’ve indicated that I want a guy who would beat Bush. I felt Howard Dean was the right guy for that fight — and that the campaign’s strategy was…
