A few weeks ago, the whole family went to a wedding in Boston. (Though I really, really want to, I’m going to refrain from telling that story.) We walked in the house, and I noticed the panel on the ADT alarm system was not on. Now, you’d think that if there were a problem with…

Law Offices of Erik J. Heels In short, I now believe that a weblog can be the main publishing platform for any website, including a law firm website. And weblog software is much more powerful than traditional web publishing software. So I have retired my old website home page and converted this website to a…

Pass the cigars, Mathew Gross and company have themselves a spiffy new weblog over at the Blog for America – where you’ll find a new look and feel, an updated blogroll with many links to new sites, and a new weblog application under the hood (Movable Type from Blogger). Kudos to the team who made…

Well, for once I get to break news instead of link to it. Mathew Gross, burning the midnight oil in Burlington, just got off the phone with Kate who is on the road with Governor Dean. Blogger’s down, so Kate couldn’t post this herself. She asked if there’s a way to get the word out.…

…comes from Rick Bruner, writing at MarketingFix : Denise Howell is totally hot. No sense denying it. I had dinner with her earlier this year and can confirm that Denise is, in fact, a babe. Several co-workers saw me leave my hotel with Denise, prompting this conversation after I returned: Co-worker: “Let me get this…

Some great live blogging is happening from the Jupiter/ClickZ Weblog Business Strategy Conference. You can follow a few of the most prolific posters: Denise and David Weinberger are both doing a fantastic job. Or you could just go to the metablog set up for this conference. Anytime anyone posts to their blog about this conference…

For those that didn’t catch Governor Dean today in Iowa (or on C-Span’s broadcast of the event), here is the key new segment in the stump speech. As I said earlier today, I think this represents a powerful new element of the Dean strategy. Today this country is facing a serious crisis. I’m talking about…

AP Wire | 06/08/2003 | Dem. Candidates Question Bush on Iraq Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean revived a Watergate-era phrase to raise questions about whether Bush withheld information from Congress: “The question now is going to become, `What did the president know, and when did he know it?’” I just saw this on C-Span, and…

I’m starting to get the hang of Movable Type so that I can go beyond the basics and push it in interesting ways. I just found Brad Choate’s excellent MTTextile plugin – and for anyone who uses MT this is just about a must have. It greatly simplifies text entry – so that instead of…

I just installed John Gruber’s “smarty pants” plugin to Movable Type. The oddly named but quite interesting little hack is designed to take straight ASCII text and convert it to typographically “proper” characters. For example, the quotes around smarty pants and proper are now auto-magically converted to curly quotes. And — get this — those…
