Such as 
 I've got an insight and a question over at IT Garage. If you work in the IT business, especially on the customer (as opposed to the vendor) side, you may be in a good position to answer the question (by providing examples, which is what I'm looking for).
 
Today, email is extra broken 
 Our Cox High Speed Internet POP3 and SMTP (inbound and outbound) mail servers are hosed, and have been since 11:09pm last night. It's now 2:35pm.
 Fortunately, Cox's business service, which I also have, works. But it does that by not blocking Port 25 (as does the "consumer" service), and letting me use my own server without any tricks (like SSH tunneling around the SMTP failure on the home service, which I can do but my wife can't).
 
Salvation vs. Salivation 
 Save The Internet Coalition just went up, and is one of the subjects of tonight's Linux Show, where I'll be talking along with the other regulars, live.
 Background: Saving the Net. I wrote it for Linux Journal last Summer. The piece fed a cause other than the one for which it was intended. (Succeeded too.) Now it's time to get back to the original problem, and solving it.
 The bad guys are getting worse. And the good guys are still fighting an uphill battle.
 [Later...] Follow-up from MO'CC.
 
Chanson du jour 
 Eric Idle sings for Howard, to the FCC.
 
Panning for gold in the bitstream 
 Brian Dear says Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," which won the Palme D'Or at Cannes, will be distributed via BitTorrent:
 In a stunning move, controversial documentary filmmaker Michael Moore announced today that his latest film, "Fahrenheit 9/11", will be released by BitTorrent, the popular peer-to-peer file-sharing network.
 From Brian's Denounce.com.
 [Later...] Once again, we need to point out that Denounce is a satire site. Hence the name. Here's the disclaimer, from top right on the index page:
 Recognized around the world as the best source for completely fictional news and information.
 When you're not looking for a reliable, accurate site for industry news, there's only one place to go: Denounce.
 All fake. All the time.
 Founded in 1980. Eight years before The Onion. Deal with it.
 
Decaptivation 
 De-captivating markets is my latest thinking out loud about the subject brought up in the post below. It begins,
 I just realized what's been missing from Clayton Christensen's rap about "disruptive technologies": most of his attention is on the customer side of the marketplace. It's great stuff, but it misses the potentially critical role played by IT in keeping innovators out of dilemmas.
 Got some nice help from Phil Windley on the piece.
 
Why they don't call it "redisruption" 
 After reading Ross and Jim, I posted thoughts about Constructive Technologies over at IT Garage.
 
Lucky number 
 It's been thirteen years since the best wedding and reception I've ever been to. Which I'd say even if it wasn't our own.
 A couple years ago, when we broke out some pictures of the Wedding, the kid said, "Look: it's Mama and a much younger version of Papa!" Nice to say I did that aging all by myself.
