Bye to a friend 
Instant PR
| | Microsoft is suing Lindows for rhyming too closely with Windows. |
| | Lindows is a new company created by Michael Robertson, founder and former CEO of MP3.com. Its new operating system, which goes by the same name, is made to run both Linux and Windows programs. |
Some dissembly required
| | I like David Weinberger's Chrismas day blog on RCN's surreal customer service. "The legal system has scared the gray out" (of what customer support folks are authorized to do and not do), he reports. The new default, of course, is fear. |
| | And today the good doctor points to Chris Pirillo's excellent Lockergnome. I've gone too long without blogrolling Chris, so I'm glad David serves up the chance. |
Happy Renew Year
| | I let ocode.com and obuilder.com lapse out. Now curvestart.com and boldswimmer.com are coming up. Think they're worth another $75 (or whatever) each? They've been worth nothing so far. |
| | Curvestart.com I got for Esther Dyson. Also because I thought it was cool. I still think Esther should have it, since it roughly positions behind Release 1.0. The curve starts there. |
| | Boldswimmer.com I got from Walt Whitman, that lecturing optimist: |
| | Now I will you to be a bold swimmer,
To jump off in the midst of the sea, and rise again,
and nod to me and shout,
and laughingly dash your hair... |
| | Good New Year's stuff, no? |
