  • WhoWas

    WhoWas. Simply brilliant. Why didn’t I think of that? From the Trademark Blog: Whois, Who Was, and Who Will Be. … Which brings me to today’s topic: market solutions for regulatory short-coming.  Snapnames (provider of SnapBack name “back order” services and whose State of the Domain reports I have praised previously), and Dialog (a Thomson…

  • Don’t Mix Shoes, Batteries, a Power Strip and Cracklin’ Oat Bran

    From CNN.com, the latest tale of complete idiots cluttering the skies: WASHINGTON (CNN) — A Maine couple’s attempt to make a political statement by rigging up a fake bomb in their checked luggage led to their arrest, officials said Thursday.

  • I’m back

    Well, I’m not at 100% yet – Radio is still hiccupping on a few things – but it appears that I can once again publish to my site. I won’t go into all the details, but let’s just say that moving from one computer to another was not an entirely smooth process. On the plus…

  • Editing outlines on your Palm

    Back in May I asked for some folks to help me figure out a way to edit outlines on my Palm.

  • Radio as Infrastructure

    Ernie’s post the other day about how he’ll be using Radio to update his firm’s News page got me thinking about how flexible Radio really is. Here’s how I use Radio today: As a weblog application. Radio runs on my desktop and uploads new posts to my weblog TINS (just in case you hadn’t figured…

  • File not found – the inside story

    Choose Your 404 “Wow! You get a choice. HTTP Error 404 – Your Choice and one is a movie.” [meryl’s notes][The Shifted Librarian] Erik – just for you. Might be the best of all time. Be sure to watch “The Making of 404: The Movie” – very well done.

  • Perspective

    Miraculously, our two year-old (“two and a HALF Daddy!”) let us sleep in this morning. Probably the last time that will happen for a while. While waiting for him to make the trip downstairs, I saw that I had an e-mail waiting. It was from one of my co-workers. He’s in Kuwait – got called…
