Dumb question: What is a home page?  The Republican Party is podcasting.   Four years ago today in the NY Times: "The notion that independent publications could challenge established media concern because it costs very little to publish online has fallen on hard times along with the rest of the Web's early illusions." Wishful thinking.  The National Hurricane Center has an advisory feed with updates on Tropical Storm Arlene. It could strengthen into a hurricane overnight. Looking at the map of the system, it's clear that the inclement weather we're having on the east coast of Florida are part of the system.   NY Times: "Tropical storm warnings have been posted from St. Marks, FL, to Grand Isle, LA, including the city of New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain." 
In 1998, Mason Hale wrote a howto on working with me.   Unfortunately I didn't have a camera when I saw this on a bumper sticker. Around here it's seagulls not pigeons.   Rebecca MacKinnon: "I spoke to Isaac Mao in Shanghai via Skype to get some clarification and detail about how the latest regulations requiring bloggers to register in China are actually being implemented."  Ed Cone on his father: "I wish he had known his grandchildren."  Engadget says Yahoo may buy Skype. Oyyyyyy. I use Yahoo, but I really want a new company to start here. Please don't sell out. On the other hand, they are a beast of venture capital, backed by the firm that backed Hotmail when they sold out to Microsoft (made big waves in the valley at the time) so there's a pretty good chance the rumors are right.   Per yesterday's post, I unsubbed from Taegan Goddard's political feed. I got stopped again in my scan, the ads are just too intrusive. Further, I've delivered a lot of flow to his site over the years, and I don't appreciate being used in an experiment this way. Readers are people, not guinea pigs, and if we didn't sign up for tests, then we shouldn't be used that way. Time to read the Cluetrain Manifesto, Taegan.
