Be a whoa? 
| | There's a backstory here. I don't know where to start with it, so I offer the whole mess of threads as fodder for Bloggercon tomorrow. |
Another excuse for a party
Getting over it, already
| | Percentage of U.S. total area, by county, won by Kerry: 22.6% |
| | Bush won the election with a solid 4 million vote majority. How is that a sign of his or his supporters' stupidity? Republicans have been running the country, with one eight-year break, for most of my adult lifetime. Who are the dummies here, exactly? The morons who can convince a bunch of dummies to support them? Or the rocket scientists who can't figure out how to make the dummies behave? |
| | You folks are so smart, so honest, so knowing of the system? Then work it, babies. |
| | I remember the "everybody got stupid" stuff when Reagan won, by a much bigger margin than Bush won on Tuesday. It was wrong then and it's wrong now. Understandable, sure; but wrong. I know lots of real smart people — much smarter than me, fersure — who voted for Bush. |
| | It's not about smarts. It's about lots of other stuff, much of which we still don't understand. None of us. Not even Karl Rove. |
Dept. of Paranoia
| | Thanks to Jim for the pointer. |
| | [Later...] Getting emails telling me this has long been required by law. Nothing happening here. Move on... |
RollGadget
| | I'm becoming addicted to Phillip and Lenn's Engadget podcasts, and want to thank them for their kind words about Cluetrain near the end of one of their recent ones (I forget which). Nice surprise. You guys rock. |
TheirFi
| | This is cool, but it's in such a silo'd market. All these closed systems... XM, Sirius, iTunes/iPhoto/iPod, DishTV, DirecTV, Outlook, Exchange, AIM, MSN... feel to me like jails that compete with other jails on furnishings and amenities. Much as I do enjoy hanging out in some of them, it still galls me that they are, fundamentally, closed and private corporate dominions. |
Sleep cheap and fast
| | While Dori and Dave stay at the very nice Hyatt Rickeys for excellent prices, I'm staying at my usual place for a price that's in the same range, if not lower. Dig Ramada Silicon Valley, just off the Moffett exit in Mountain view. The rooms are generic, but there's free high speed internet access in every room. Great people running the place, too. |
