On the blampaign trail 
Rollrocking
| | I think what I want to do is freeze the current list (sans dead links), in its roughly present state, put it somewhere else on the front page, and replace it with something dynamic, useful, relevant, or whatever. Maybe something like Mark Fletcher of Bloglines suggests here. |
| | In any case, legacy blogrolls like mine were developed before the age of RSS and aggregators and other cool new stuff. And yep, we need to fix them. |
Live from East Blogistan
| | At least when the Net's up, which currently it is. |
| | Dan Bricklin is shooting the event beautifully. (I'm sitting behind him, watching him sort his photos.) |
| | Dan and Joi are the most peripatetic phobloggers I know. |
| | [Later...] This is so weird... I'm live on the Net via a wi-fi link provided by Kevin Marks (who has one of the working Ethernet connections here), and watching his live webcast over the very same link. (Checks out elsewhere too.) |
Go ahead. Look it up.
| | Terrific journalism panel this morning. Don't even know where to begin, so I'll second what Ed said Dave said a long time ago: The Web is a writer's medium. The difference from everything that come before, however, is the ecology of the Web itself, where everybody can contribute, and plenty do. Which means we no longer have "audiences." We have readers. |
| | Which makes me think the Web is a reader's medium. Pixels are supposed to suck for that; but print sucks at links, which are enormous aids to readers who want to follow writers to their sources. Which, methinks, makes the Web more like a huge library that only grows. |
| | As a result, readers can do more and more with, and about, what they read. It's actionable — more actionable than what you read in the paper on the train, see on the TV in your hotel room, or hear on the radio in your car. |
| | Unless, of course, you've got a Web connection. |
| | Brings me back to Craig Burton's observation that the Net is a whole new world — a virtual sphere on which all points are zero distance (or one link) apart through the ownerless and agenda-free middle — that we make ourselves. |
| | We're not a world apart. We're a world together, whether we like it or not. |
| | And it's a world that only gets bigger with every link. |

Video looks good but the world is pounding the server to lots of rebuffering. Hope this is on demand. The audio has 60 cycle hum and is mainly unlistenable. It's either a bad patch cord or a bad mic channel.
Much as you all hate Microsoft Windows Media is a much better product for a webcast.

Much better audio, but the digital deal is no the problem, the audio does not follow the video. Had this problem with my first multicast, had to add digital delay to the audio before encoding.

1. Mass appeal, it took 5 years for it to happen to the web in the US. Weblogs, could take another 5.
2. Other than Adam, I'll bet you were the only other guy to have ever listened to shortwave. And there lives the information bubble in which we live in the us.
