Clinks 
| | I had a big post that went here, but Murphy intervened and now it's gone. |
| | Meanwhile, there is no while. Only enough means to post a few annotated links. Here goes: |
| | From the lost lost post: I think progressives, Democrats, Libertarians, Dynamists, Rockefeller Republicans and others who aren't with the President in lock/stock/barrel mode need to get off The War as The Issue in the current presidential campaign playoffs (which, primary-wise, is still in its exhibition season). To put it mildly, the Saddam capture kinda knocked the legs out from under that one. I suggest that the Bush administration is weak at best around (literally) conservative issues such as Saving our Liberties, Saving the Environment and Saving the Net. Tied in with all of those is Restoring Democracy by transferring the center of influential gravity in Washington from lobbyists and big contributors to the connected citizenry. |
Thinking tank
| | A belated congrats to the fresh new senior staff at Userland Software. I'm especially excited to see Peter Winer named as the new CTO. I've known Peter even longer than I've known his big brother Dave (though I met both for the first time in their ThinkTank booth at Comdex in Atlanta, back in the early 80s). I worked with Peter when my agency handled Symantec's PR, during the MORE days in the late 80s. He directed MORE's development there. |
| | I always loved MORE, and often still use it. Amazingly, it still runs just fine in Classic mode on OS X Panther. I'm writing this in Radio Userland's outliner, where my well-worn MORE habits are still leveraged. |
| | And I'm looking forward to seeing where Peter and the rest of new (and old) crew continue to take the categories they've been pioneering for decades. |
