Other dead Atkins headlines 
 I'm still on the Atkins diet. Dr. Atkins isn't, of course. I mentioned that a couple days ago under the headline Ultimate Diet. Since then I've regretted not using either of two other headlines that came to mind at the time:
 100% weight loss
 Dead weight
 An alternative to the headline for this post might be Blogging while on hold.
 
Blog support 
 Allen is looking for an answer to a question I run across often: how do you make permalinks work in Blogger? Apparently there's some kind of default that gets set wrong.
 Right now the second link above goes to a BlogSpot 404 page. It should go to the post.
 I'm sure it's a simple setting; but I can't find it.
 
Question du jour 
 Why doesn't The Onion archive the funniest story they ever ran?
 Bonus link: Deteriorata, from an ancient National Lampoon.
 
Talking tech 
 Next week I'll be back at the O'Reilly Emerging Tech conference in San Jose. Lot of good friends and fine folks (highly ovelapping populations) will be there. (Here's a list of speakers.) I'll be in a featherbird session on journalism and on a panel about warblogging (with Dan, Xeni and David).
 Speaking of war... Britt Blaser, who has more right than the rest of us to blog smartly about war (he has three Distinguished Flying Crosses), was shot down at Katum, and flew the last C-130 out of Kham Duc, hardly bothers blogging about the current conflict. Seems a story in itself to me.
 He'd rather talk tech trash. Like about Xpertweb. Like right now, on the phone... You know, Xpertweb was implicit as soon as the XML spec came out. See, XML is just data for the rest of us. My work with Xpertweb is just letting the horse out of the marble.
 Also: Stephen Hull, Bill Goins and I wouldn't have started Dynamac if Steven Levy hadn't written Hackers.
 
Running on pixels 
 Gary Hart has a blog.
 So does Howard Dean.
 
Open and closed cases 
 Open Here is a very thoughtful post by Peter Saint-Andre about open standards, open source, power, community and the various variables involved.
 
Pier pressure 
 Pelican:
 Y'know, for graceful birds, pelicans can be pretty ugly bastards.
 [Later...] By the way, Dick Brandts is a fellow Santa Barbarian. He recently ran into Maude Frickert on the same wharf where I shot the pelican. Not too coincidentally, last year one of Maude's grandkids was in the same preschool (and on the same t-ball team) as my youngest.
