BBC: "Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced that he will run as a Republican candidate for governor of California." 

Hossein Derakhshan, an Iranian, says that RSS can be used to route around government censorship.  

Viswanath Gondi: Google for Privacy Conscious Users

NY Times: "The AOL 9 upgrade is the least cocky, most customer-focused overhaul in a long time." 

PC World: "Meet your next Web-based time-saver: customized news feeds that give news junkies their fix quickly and easily, without their having to scour the Web for all the latest bulletins. Called RSS, this standard could radically change the way you gather and manage information online." 

RSS in my heart.Apple reports on a Phish festival. "Phish headlined a three-day festival which attracted 70,000+ fans. In addition to performing, the band set up a tent where fans could make their own free custom mix CD of live Phish tracks with iTunes. Phish also rented a 100,000-watt radio station, completely driven by iTunes, and broadcast from the event commercial-free." I found this story through Apple's RSS feed. See the business model? Keeping fans informed of what's going on with the products (and bands) that they love. Apple is using our technology masterfully to tell people how Phish is using theirs. 

Essay: "RSS is a billion-dollar format. If you objectively look at all the content that flows through it you'll see that, like Apple in 1983, it can't be stopped. It doesn't matter who wants to stop it." 

Phil Wolff interviews Steve Rose, the author of RSSJobs. 

Bryan and Paolo reveal Radio's biggest secret. Heh. 

BTW, I use Radio to edit my Manila sites, including the templates and content, as Bryan does. I can't imagine editing the components of a website any other way.  

Ben Adida, an MIT grad student with a Harvard weblog.  

Tracy Adams: "I wrote this entry without typing." 

Nutch is a "nascent effort to implement an open-source web search engine." 

Jon Udell: "I'm not saying that I want to put RDF into RSS." 

In his second piece of the day, Jon Udell asks RDF advocates what's wrong with Plain Old Metadata. 

NY Times: "Over the last 20 years the nation's housing market has been cleaved in two, and the break has helped create two very different economies in one country." 

Click on the campaign button. Thanks. 

The picture above is art. What does it mean? Click on the pic. Do you know any more? Who is wKen? Who is speaking? What does your mind say? That's the art. Did you click on the Gnome-Girl link? If so, at what point did you decide not to get involved? Or did you? (Big juicy kiss to GG, love you baby.)  

Now what do I see? I see weblog art. The button represents the Come As You Are philosophy of Dogma 2000. Web Energy forever. Yeha, he mis-spelled Governor. And I mis-spelled yeah. Let's hope it was an accident.  

Rageboy: "A month or so ago, maybe it was last year... No. It was June."
