  • Gore to endorse Dean

    The Washington Post has the story. No official word from the campaign. WHOA.

  • One year ago today: Run, Howard, Run

    What a year it’s been. I first contacted the Dean campaign in August, 2002 (shortly after writing this post). I swapped e-mails periodically (I still have the e-mail correspondence from September 1 when I was telling them they needed a blog!), and then finally started thinking that there was more to his candidacy than the…

  • Forbes.com is aggressive

    Check this out: went to this page to read about the “new” Space Invaders video games coming to the U.S. (thanks to TechDirt for the link), when this little guy popped up: Annoying, to say the least. But what average user actually understands this, or wants to?

  • Tips for SkyTrain at Newark Airport

    This seems like a good tip for traveling through Newark… Many people have horror stories about riding the SkyTrain at Newark Airport.  It has a tendency to get stuck between stations, or to lock customers in and shuttle them around endlessly like cows in a claustrophobic boxcar.  Here are my tips: The attendants can’t really…

  • John Kerry is too nuanced

Dean now “leads” in FL, with 16%, compared…

  • How I use ActiveWords

    Dave Stratton asks in my comments for some examples of how to get the most out of ActiveWords. I don’t have all the answers (be sure to ping Buzz if you want the whole tour) but here are some good starts: Manage multiple sig files. I use a couple of e-mail programs, and was surprised…

  • Now who’s flip-flopping?

    Check this out: The Club for Growth announced yesterday that beginning today, it would be airing ads showing “Democratic presidential contender Howard Dean’s abysmal record on taxes.” “Handing over the economy to Howard Dean,” says Stephen Moore, “would give him a license to pick our pockets.” The ads, which will run in Des Moines, Iowa…
