Well, for once I get to break news instead of link to it. Mathew Gross, burning the midnight oil in Burlington, just got off the phone with Kate who is on the road with Governor Dean. Blogger’s down, so Kate couldn’t post this herself. She asked if there’s a way to get the word out.…

…comes from Rick Bruner, writing at MarketingFix : Denise Howell is totally hot. No sense denying it. I had dinner with her earlier this year and can confirm that Denise is, in fact, a babe. Several co-workers saw me leave my hotel with Denise, prompting this conversation after I returned: Co-worker: “Let me get this…

Some great live blogging is happening from the Jupiter/ClickZ Weblog Business Strategy Conference.

I just installed John Gruber’s “smarty pants” plugin to Movable Type. The oddly named but quite interesting little hack is designed to take straight ASCII text and convert it to typographically “proper” characters. For example, the quotes around smarty pants and proper are now auto-magically converted to curly quotes. And — get this — those…

The latest video at HowardDean.tv is this week’s CNN report about the Meetup pheonomenon for Governor Dean’s campaign. While the report notes that political analysts aren’t placing much faith in the Meetup numbers, it’s a good snapshot of a number of supporters, why they’re there, and how Meetup is inspiring new groups of people to…

There’s an ongoing thread attached to a post I made after seeing Matrix: Reloaded about some of the underlying meaning. But for the mother of all threads, be sure to head over to Jason Kottke’s site where there are (as of this writing) 458 comments. Whoa. In related news, today Ernie points us to a…
