I love Jame Kotecki’s critique of politicians’ use of online video. He’s gotten enough fame that he has interviewed several presidential candidates. It’s been disappointing he doesn’t talk to them more about the internet. I can learn about their politics else where.
Back in 2004 I thought the Movable Type’s admin interface was too complicated. 3 years later Movable Type 4 doesn’t seem any easier.
In case you were running out of people to hate, Mike Adams seems like a good addition to the list.
Movable Type 4 goes open source with tons of new features and a new interface. They enforced their license in 2004 right before I started blogging and here I am with a wordpress blog. Can MT4 regain the glory days before MT3?
It’s really been amazing watching the the women’s version of Ninja Warrior, Kunoichi. There seems to be very little info about the show available online but just by watching it you can make some interesting conclusions.
Clearly the woman’s version was an after thought. It was fairly impossible for women to get farther then the first stage because the course was designed for men. The focus was upper body strength and height (with height not really being a skill).
Finally they made a whole course for women to go with their own show. It was one of the most insulting things I had ever seen. The course was fall over easy and seemed to focus mainly on balance and luck (with luck not really being a skill). Clearly they did not intend to insult women and over time they made improvements.
The latest course on Kunoichi was an amazing celebration of the skill women have with both balance and agility. Rotating balance beams, trampolines, and floating platforms would be challenge for anyone but truly focused on the skills women excel at.
It took several season for the course to evolve in to something respectable. It’s such a shame that we can develop an interesting course for men from the get go but e need to think really hard to get something that is focused on women’s skills with out being insulting. It just show how out of touch with women we really are.
When did you do your first google search? I wish I knew. As the internet gets older we’re going to look back on it more. Since I send such a crazy amount of time online I look back and try and see where I fit in the history of the web. This great post at Wisdump about the The Ebb and Flow of Social Networking really got me thinking about where I fit in the flow.
I had fun going back and seeing when I joined different services that are significant on the web.

Why can’t television do college? I’d love to know the answer to that. Keri often complains there really isn’t even a book market for books about college life. I’m starting to think an hour long drama from HBO or Showtime is needed to properly cover the complicated narrative that could evolve with so many students interacting with each other.
Kottke updated his links on his front page but only shows a random sampling of the whole list. Being the Warren Buffet rss subscriptions Kottke has doomed me to constantly refreshing his page in hopes of finding all the hidden ingredients of his website. How else will I find good rss feeds to invest my time in? (I’m loving this analogy!)
Where is the love Jason? Let us see all your links!
Stop telling me dented soda cans will give me Botulism. It’s not going to happen:
In the United States an average of 110 cases of botulism are reported each year. Of these, approximately 25% are foodborne, 72% are infant botulism, and 3% are wound botulism. Outbreaks of foodborne botulism involving two or more persons occur during most years and usually are caused by eating contaminated home-canned foods. – (Via Wikipedia)
110 cases? 72% infants? That’s only like 27 adults. Or 1 out of every 11 million people (approx.)
It’s always amusing seeing a company implode on it self.
Medina had been accused of misappropriating company funds to pay for liposuction and escort services, among other things. After he was fired, Medina reportedly deleted some passwords and kept others at RegisterFly from accessing billing records.
