How about it?  Sheila Lennon won't let up. Her blog is subtitled 'bottom-up journalism from the pros," and her latest puts it out there in RG&B:
One suggestion: open the sucker up RAIN reports that the House Subcommittee on Courts, the Inernet and Intellectual Property will hold hearings on June 13th to "look at the structure of the CARP process and how it can be reformed." A journalist That's Ten Reason Why's answer to the "What do you call a blogger who won't link" question. GroundPort My Apple AirPort wireless base station craps out about once per day. The green light goes off and the red (or is it amber?) lights go on. I correct it by unplugging it and replugging it again, but why should I have to do that? I have another base station that runs constantly without problems, so the difference is kind of obvious. Anybody know what's causing the problem? I can live with it, but it's kind of a pain. Analogablogging along Cory's EFF piece got slashdotted this morning. Also at slashdot, a story I heard on NPR this morning: Music Industry Seeks Payola Inquiry. The RIAA is on the Good Side of this one. Story shortage Mark Steyn laments The War On Terror's flagging hold on the news:
And what are real story elements? There are just three. I wrote about them in What tale are we spinning? on 9/13:
We're 0-for-3 right now. Osama, evil genius that he is, appears to be doing nothing (which he's not, of course, but wisely offers no video to suggest otherwise). Saddam has done nothing new. A whole country full of bad guys got routed in Afghanistan and haven't attacked America since 9/11. And there's no apparent movement in any direction on anything. Six months ago, the moral accounting of the World Trade Center loss gave President Bush permission to do what he dad couldn't in Iraq: trade thousands of American military lives for a complete victory (which didn't happen in the Gulf War, or Saddam would be gone). That permission is going away, if it isn't gone already. The Andrew Conspiracy Best joke I haven't heard for awhile comes from a much funnier Andrew than the Branded One — Andrew Marks, son of Kevin, who today offers some fine quotes from Albert Einstein. Steve Yost offers another. Coincidence? By the way, here's how Kevin explains Google to Andrew. Do we even want these people to know what's really going on? That's the thought that occurs to me after reading this piece. Got the link from Deborah's latest. One more reason to dump Hotmail Eastside Journal: New Hotmail settings might share yuor info, addresses. To wit:
Wider-fi The new Titanium definitely has more range than the (less than a year) old Titanium. Not much, but some. The torture test will be picking up the Starbucks signal at Tully's. Hollywood Death Star, cont'd Frank Horowitz has a few ideas about how to embarrass the bad guys to death. More illuminati Patrick Nielsen Hayden's Electrolite moves the Commonplaces meme, which Tom started. Dig the list of quotes under that heading, especially "They lied to you..." by Umberto Eco. It speaks to blogging rather squarely. Giving customers exactly what they don't want Ads come to TiVo. Background: Whose Side is TiVo On? Off the blogging bench Look up Buzz Bruggeman on Google, and you'll find 4,610 pages, precious few on Buzz's own blog. Mostly Buzz has been a background player, but an important one. More than any other reader, Buzz has always understood the kind of stuff I'll be interested in writing about in my blog. From Duke Basketball (a tall guy, he actually played ball and got his law degree from Duke) to old top 40 radio, to wi-fi, to ... whatever, Buzz has fed me all kinds of stuff over the last couple of years. He's done the same for other bloggers too. In fact, it was one of Buzz's email alerts that marked a sea change in the conference game. Now it looks like he's stepping up in his own blog. Check it out. The killer ingredient: software Kevin Werbach in Business 2.0: Amazon's Secret Sauce Why the nickname? Because my given name is a little bit common. Which has me wondering what happened to Clyde. and Wilbur. And, even worse, Cletus. Maybe some of those kinda guys are named Cory now. Hey, nice to see my Mom's name is on the rebound. (She was born in the 10's.) But who's counting? Running about 1000-3000 reads per day, with up to 15,000 on big days. So let's say 1500 per day, times 30 days. That's 45,000 per month. Not even close to Glenn Reynolds, Andrew Sullivan or Dave Winer, but not too sloppy. Yes, Santa Claus, there is a Virginia Can one of ya'll tell me how to find the permalinks on Virginia Postrel's blog? I know they're there, 'cuz I've used 'em before. Maybe Eric Olsen knows. In one long post he has probably set the record in Blogging About Virginia.
