Scripting News, the weblog started in 1997 that bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

RSS feed generated by AOL's weblog software.  

For comparison, here's a Microsoft feed. They look just about the same. AOL has guids (that's good) but they're both easy to parse, human-readable RSS. This is one area where the two online giants are compatible. Good news. 

Neel Ishwar Murarka: Blogger RSS Template

Ray Ozzie: "People are discovering why compartmentalized security such as that implemented by Groove is so important moving forward." 

Change in terms of use for weblogs hosted at Harvard Law. 

Jon Udell: "They didn't get that the wire could also stretch across continents and oceans!" 

Jim Moore: "The best networks win." 

Last year on this day I wrote: "Say and do the honorable things while life is here." Worth a read, hard to excerpt.  

To Yoav, most of my edits are trivial changes, or things that I wrote that were too personal or could be misinterpreted.  

About girlism, from a guy 

At the end of the day yesterday, I wrote this ode to beauty in women. It didn't get a lot of reads, probably because it was the end of the day. I did get an email from Halley. Of course she liked it. Summary: If you're a woman who likes to dress up and go out, god bless, keep on trucking, love that style, and don't worry about idealized and objectified measures of beauty, that isn't beauty; the things that make you who you are, the differences, the imperfections, and what you do with them, are what make you hot.

Grouchy about timezones 

Time zones are so weird. I used to live here in California. Back then everything was okay. Then I moved to Massachusetts, three time zones east. But all my websites (except Scripting) are still in Pacific time. No problem, just shift up by three hours. But now I'm back in California. Stayed too long, now I'm on West Coast time, but my time zone calculator hasn't caught up. I'm still adding three hours. Oy. By the time that little thing resets, I'll be back in Cambridge, waiting to adjust again at three more levels. If only the world could get it through it's thick skull that it revolves around me, and adjust accordingly, automatically.
