I think the internet is finally the way I expected it would be when I first logged on in the early 90s.
Back then, I imagined I would link with all sorts of like-minded or otherwise interesting people all over the world. I thought that communicating with my family and friends would be instant and easy [...]

I went to an election party a while back. You may have heard about this election. It was the one where you go and push on a Fisher-Price voting toy and then go home to learn who the machines picked as President. Anyway, I was having fun at an election party.
And in walks [...]

I just discovered Alton Brown’s Blog, where he dropped this little bit of science:

We are fat and sick and dying because we have handed a basic, fundamental and intimate function of life over to corporations. We choose to value our nourishment so little that we entrust it to strangers. We hand our lives over to [...]

Via Matt’s site comes word of this Blogumentary—a documentary video about weblogs.
Now, I’m not going to blanket condemn the thing, ‘cause I haven’t seen it, but that is a challenging topic to say the least. I mean, it’s a movie about websites.
So I clicked on over to the trailer, and when the [...]

Syndication really is the future of weblogs. I didn’t believe it until just now. I stumbled across the Planet model of weblog aggregation and I can see a lot of promise. Especially for the “vortal” business model of blogs (a la Weblogs, Inc.) and for topic-specific sites such as Planet Apache.
I love the [...]

If I can just sustain this level of quality, craft and wit in this site, my number one referrer is sure to be:
http://www.kinja.com/removeweblog.knj
Sorry folks! Time to spend less time in MovableType and more time in the word processor.

I use a web-based RSS reader because I’m on so many different terminals (over four per day on average). The only problem is that the feed-reader I use has an all-or-nothing security model, which makes it impossible to share since I didn’t want others to be able to add or delete feeds.

I guess I [...]
