Charles Jade: Why can't Apple blog? 

I'm with Josh Marshall, Kerry has nothing to apologize for.  

Olbermann: "Kerry called them stupid and they were too stupid to know he called them stupid." 

I think in retrospect, the Democrats came to life when Bill Clinton did the interview with Chris Wallace at Fox. Throwing punches is something people don't expect from Demos, and it's refreshing. Kerry said something that is totally, obviously true. Bush better watch out if he decides to make this an issue, it's likely to backfire. All Kerry has to say is that he'll apologize after Bush apologizes for the deaths of 2800 young Americans in Iraq.  

Hil introduces the RSS Pumpkin. Ha! 

I was going to pre-order a Zune player, but I checked to see if it would work with a Mac, and apparently not. Arrrgh. What kind of competitor has Microsoft become. What if someone prefers a Mac desktop, thinks it's possible to do better than the iPod, and wants to give Zune a whirl? I have to use a PC? Oy oy. NFW. What if my opinion influences others? I imagine that many of the opinion leaders in this market already use Macs. I doubt if I'm willing to dust off the PC just to try out their audio player. 

There was a political bloggers meetup at Berkman last night in Cambridge.  

Ed Cone interviews PodShow CEO, Ron Bloom. 

HDMI question 

I bought and HDMI to HDMI cable to connect my Denon DVD player to the Sony TV.

I tried hooking the two together, but no luck, when I clicked through all the video sources on the TV, the output of the DVD, which I could hear, never showed up on the screen.

I've read all I could find in the two manuals with no clues. Any ideas?
