I think Will Saletan gets it right when he suggests that the flap over Dean’s confederate flag comment is much ado about nothing.

The purpose of this site is to foster discussion about the candidacy of Howard Dean. I am all for debate for or against Dean’s candidacy — to the extent that Republicans and supporters of other candidates wish to air their views here, they are more than welcome. That said, I reserve the right to delete…

Michael Muegel has just told me by e-mail that Desktop Dean is now available. For the techies among you, you’ll recognize this as an RSS aggregator that is configured to download RSS feeds of the official campaign blog, as well as several other blogs (including this site). For the non-techies, this is a program that…

My taste in music runs to the eclectic, a hold-over from being a DJ while in college and law school. And though my collection of folk/acoustic music isn’t that large, I can’t imagine anyone not falling in love with Paul Curreri. I’ll grant that I’m a bit biased — I used to work with Paul’s…

Just when you thought Buzz couldn’t be any more pervasive, he turns up in Business Week. Congrats to Buzz for the exposure. Every vendor should be so lucky to have such passionate advocates as Handspring Palm has in Buzz.

Howard Shapiro has just written a new book called One-Car Caravan, and it’s Shapiro’s account of the presidential race a year before the primaries begin. I haven’t read it yet, but plan to buy my copy shortly and will report back once I do so. The USA Today ran excerpts from the book last week,…

Many thanks to Matt Mower for letting me play with a soon-to-be-released copy of K-Collector for Movable Type. For those that don’t know, K-Collector is a tool that lets you add topic-specific information to your posts. The first step is giving you a way of visually representing the who/what/where of your weblog by showing others…

That didn’t take very long. In twelve hours, I’ve received 136 pieces of spam. Averaged out over a month, that factors to over 8,000 pieces of spam a month. (Two more since I started writing this.) Unreal. Ross is right, e-mail is dying. Please, make it stop hurting.
