Walter Cronkite: Speaking With the Enemy

This XML feed contains the top five minutes of changes from Weblog.Com. Updated every minute. Cuts down on bandwidth if your app polls frequently. 

New RSS power at Daypop from Dan Chan. 

Today we started getting pings from a community called persianblog.com.  

Change in perspective due to change in geography. Now when Doc writes about hotels in Silicon Valley with good WiFi my ears perk up.  

Jim Moore: "There is an emerging second superpower, but it is not a nation. Instead, it is a new form of international player, constituted by the 'will of the people' in a global social movement. " 

Busy morning. Got a Cambridge PO box, then opened a local checking account, and got my Harvard ID. It says, in big letters, OFFICER. I asked what that means. They handed me a piece of paper that says "Officer is a nineteenth century term used for academics, administrators, and professionals. It is the highest status Harvard offers." Yow. It feels heavy. The list of perks is impressive. I can use all the Harvard libraries, athletic centers, and can dine at the Faculty Club. They even have a website for all the bennies. Today I feel very well-taken-care-of. Thanks Harvard!! 

New Manila theme, Swim Fan

PHPmySubscriptions is "a simple tool to read the news of your Radio aggregator on the Web, when you are away from your Radio." 

AP: "NBC fired journalist Peter Arnett on Monday, saying it was wrong for him to give an interview with state-run Iraqi TV saying that the American-led coalition's first war plan had failed because of Iraq's resistance. Arnett himself called the interview a 'misjudgment.'" 

The Guardian tunes into John Robb. "In an earlier life, he was a USAF Special Ops soldier. He's not an armchair pundit." That's right. John's weblog offers a unique point of view with intelligence. A must-read. 

How to delete a news item in a Manila weblog. 

News.Com: "Segway's Human Transporter, the high-tech scooter that captured the nation's imagination two years ago, is proving to be an easier device to drive than to sell." 

A picture named redsox.jpgIt's opening day of the 2003 baseball season and I find myself in an American League city. Those who are new to Scripting News may not realize what a potential disaster this is. The only real league is the National League. However, the Mets need someone to beat in the World Series. It might as well be the Red Sox. Disaster averted? 

Lance Knobel: "To my untutored eye, it seems the British army's long experience in Northern Ireland is proving extraordinarily relevant in Iraq." 

Ruzz: "The only thing I admit to doing wrong is buying all of the shares in Dave Winer's blogs so he couldn't buy anymore and what did it hurt? I drove the price for UserLand up to nearly $200 a share. Who suffers? Who!" 

Caleb Crain: "Who says aesthetics has nothing to do with politics?"
