Sinekow.org: October 23, 2003 Archives My idea is: A plugin for winamp, Windows Media Player, w.bloggar, zempt, iTunes or whatever – not dissimilar from the one for w.bloggar (which generates a “Currently listening to: Band Name – Song” string) – that will parse the id3 tag of a given song, and using the ITMS link…

Many thanks to Political Site of the Day for choosing this blog as its site of the day.

Interesting — I just saw on my blog that one year ago today, I linked to Documentum’s purchase of eRoom. Last week, in case you missed it, hardware storage company EMC bought Documentum for $1.7b. This is a non-obvious growth strategy. I think consolidation among the content management players makes sense (for instance, my old…

This is nuts: over 800 visitors today, almost all a result of searching for Tuesday Morning Quarterback at Google (or any Google-affiliated site). That search points to a post I made over a year ago about my admiration for Gregg Easterbrook; 17 have commented as of 6pm this evening. (In case you’re wondering, this is…

Thanks to a little hacking of Movable Type, I’ve added three new features to the right-hand column on the home page. You can now see: Last five trackbacks. While those looking at individual threads will see which other sites have linked to me, this seemed a better way to highlight that there may be a…

… to Jim McGee, who’s been blogging for two years as of today. If you aren’t reading Jim’s “musings”, you should be. He’s one of the sharpest commentators on the KM implications of blogging around. Here’s to many more!

This is wild: do a search at Google for Tuesday Morning Quarterback and my post from last year is in the top 10 results. Furthermore, as a result of the controversy swirling over Easterbrook’s firing from ESPN, there’s now an active thread in the comments about what happened. (Check out the haiku homage!) My views…

Rather than paste the entire invite into this post, let me just remind any Chicago-area readers that I am a host for next week’s Gala Fundraiser in honor of Governor Dean. It will be from 6:30pm to 8pm at the Civic Opera House, and Governor Dean will be in attendance. Tickets are $150/person or $250/couple.…

I downloaded iTunes for Windows last week, and share the enthusiasm expressed elsewhere. It is by far the easiest to use and most sophisticated music management application for Windows. I’ve been a MusicMatch user for about four years, and always found it to be a little too user-unfriendly. Some things that make it so good:…

I think David Weinberger’s thoughts on what happens when blogs get “really big” are right on. Lots of meat on this post; his thinking is consistent with a lot of what I’ve been thinking regarding blog communications and where things are headed. Yesterday was a good example of how my blog has changed my communications…
