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 liked how Ars Technica put it — the Powerbook is the supermodel. But I’m not a supermodel. (Bite your tongue.) Then again I don’t…

The group will include Governor Blagojevich — and the subject is how to energize the grassroots people who’ve felt out of touch with the Democratic Party. My role is, as someone closely involved with the Dean technology crew, to…

It’s time to buy a new laptop. What do you recommend?

My nothing.but.net column ran last month and focused on the social networking craze and how it might take effect in the legal vertical. When I wrote the article I was still at Interface Software, the leading CRM company in the professional services space. Consequently, I was hesitant to overplay the CRM vs. social networking angle,…

Electablog likes John Edwards. And regardless of whether you agree with him or not, his reasons are both salient and pretty funny.
