In the comments, Jason asks says: “No, this isn’t some fictional story or vast right wing conspiracy, it’s an ad that has pointed out just how crazed the extreme Left has become.” He’s referring to my comments about the much-discussed Bush ad (web only) in which they show Hitler interspersed among many Democrats denouncing President…

You may recall that my wife and I were hosting a fundraiser for Barack Obama this evening, and that Barack would be stopping by. What many forget is that in addition to being a candidate for Senate, Barack is also a state senator — and thanks to Governor Blagojevich’s call for yet another special session…

Wow. Go watch this video (Windows Media Player only). Some of the odd things in this video: It includes images of Hitler in the ad, without explaining why they’re in there. (The images are from one of the many ads contributed to the MoveOn Super Bowl ad contest. Though the ad itself caused a stir…

“Crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women… Wait a minute, that’s Conan.” — California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, when asked by the New York Times to describe “his governing philosophy.” [Political Wire]

Talking with Buzz this morning, he reiterated something he’s said to me before: Outlook is a platform. (Others are on this train too: Anil from Six Apart and Omar from the Hotmail team have both written on this subject.) This is where I think Gmail will head. And all it’s going to take is for…

This call to action by Cory Doctorow is the best thing you’ll read all year. If you have any interest in technology policy, business strategy, technology innovation — hell, if you just want to read a smart guy telling it like it will be — then block the next half hour to read this speech…

I’ve been playing with Gmail for a while now, and I am impressed. It’s the first time I’ve seen a web app really seem more like an app and less like a website. That’s a good thing, in my book. Interestingly, they’ve pretty radically changed the typical e-mail interface. What makes it particularly remarkable is…
