In many circles (certainly several that are reading this blog), having Rush Limbaugh despise you is as close to an endorsement as we’ll take from him. Be sure to head over to Rush Limbaugh’s web site, where he rolls the quote from this week’s Fox News Sunday – Mara Liasson (NPR) proclaims Howard Dean the…

Turns out I’m not the first to notice Prof. Bailyn’s comments about pamphlets being very similar to weblogs. Dan Bricklin, co-creator of VisiCalc and founder of Trellix, remarked on the very same thing two years ago (almost to the day, oddly enough): I think reading some of what Bailyn had to say back in 1967…

Governor Dean just published a position paper at CommonDreams.org, a progressive web site: On day one of a Dean Presidency, I will reverse this attitude. I will tear up the Bush Doctrine. And I will steer us back into the company of the community of nations where we will exercise moral leadership once again. And…

John Palfrey, Executive Director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law weighs in on my pointer to Prof. Bailyn’s discourse on pamphlets: “Rick’s analogy rings true to me, given a recent experience testifying against the mini-DMCA proposed in Massachusetts. In a centuries-old hearing room, dozens of technologists had come to testify…

You may recall that my wife and I are hosting a house party for Governor Dean next Saturday, April 26. This is part of the campaign’s “Stand Up!“ effort – to commemorate Gov. Dean’s courageous actions in Vermont when he signed the civil union bill into law ensuring equal rights for all Americans regardless of…

The goal is to be able to centrally store images in a database, where users could then query the system on a variety of criteria (show me images of this person with that person, show me images in this state, etc.). A web-based solution would be ideal,…

From a Pulitzer-prize winning historian: “The weblog is a one-man show. One has complete freedom of expression, including, if one chooses, the freedom to be scurrilous, abusive, and seditious; or, on the other hand, to be more detailed, serious and ‘high-brow’ than is ever possible in a newspaper or in most kinds of periodicals. At…

RSS/XML FEED NOW AVAILABLE [Howard Dean 2004 Call to Action Weblog] I won’t be picky – this is great news. (Would love to see the body of the posts in the XML feed too, but I’m just happy to see this feed so that posts to the campaign blog will show up in my aggregator.)…

It turns out that someone bought all of the remaining shares in this site over at Blogshares. What exactly that means is beyond me. (Remember – I went to law school because there was no math.) More worrisome is that this “someone” is actually called – no, I’m not making this up – Biff Gnarly.…

NYT: In Searching the Web, Google Finds Riches Yet more fawning praise for everyone’s favorite Internet company. A “googol,” from whence the search engine derives its name, is a really big number — specifically a 1 followed by 100 zeros.
