Kevin Sites: "I've been asked to suspend my war blogging for awhile."  Pictures of a warm sunny spring afternoon in Cambridge. BBC: "Shares on the world's stock markets have surged because of hopes of a swift end to the conflict in Iraq." Scott Rosenberg: "These are the images the whole nation is taking in as representations of this conflict." BBC: "At least two people -- including a policeman -- have been killed in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, at an anti-war march." Technorati's new current events page. Annotated. Updated every 15 minutes.  Dave Polaschek reports that Apple changed the date of the worldwide developer's conference from May to June and changed the location from San Jose to San Francisco. The dates coincide with the MacHack conference, which Dave says "has Apple developers more than a little cranky this morning." Today's programming project for weblog hosting at Harvard. BBC picture gallery of British soldiers in Iraq. Glenn Fleishman: "A plan to give away Real World Adobe GoLive 6 as a free PDF might cost me $5,000 to $15,000 in bandwidth charges because of, well, too much interest in the book." My new camera is slightly larger than a cell phone. My old camera was an order of magnitude larger. I tend to take the new camera with me. It fits into a pocket. Yesterday I got pics of the demonstration at Harvard because the camera was in my pocket when I came upon the demo.  Scary interview on CNN by Paula Zahn with Tom Daschle, Senate Minority Leader. They played Daschle's speech prior to the war, where he said it was a failure of diplomacy that forced the war. Playing the speech now was unfair. As the NY Times editorial said, that was the time to ask how we got into this mess. Now that the war is on, Daschle has made a joint statement with Senate Majority leader Bill Frist supporting US and allied troops in Iraq. Then Zahn asked if Daschle could see how some would have seen his statement as unpatriotic. What an outrage. Zahn is a reporter, interviewing a distinguished member of the US Senate. She pressed him. If I were he, I would have gotten up and left the interview. Listen up. War is not an excuse to turn off your minds. We need our minds more than ever. Reporters don't lecture leaders. They report. Daschle voiced a concern that many Americans have, at an appopriate time. Once the war is under way, he and we are commited, like it or not. Werbach: "Listening to Tony Blair's address last night on the radio, my wife and I couldn't help but feel that the world would be a better place if his home were #1600 Pennsylvania rather than #10 Downing." Kevin Marks: "I find myself turning to media from England as well as weblogs, and thought I'd pass some links on." Raph Levien: "I attended the noon rally at UC Berkeley." George Tsiokos did a chart comparing versions of RSS. Being an early riser on the east coast isn't so bad. It means I get to share the flow with late nighters on the west coast. |
