It's even worse than it appears..
What made the news worth watching Wednesday night was that finally the most important question was asked -- will our system defend itself? Finally, we've gotten around to insisting that this question be answered. And a jury of Americans will make this decision. How perfectly American.#
Speaking as someone who has served on a jury all the way to a verdict, I have great respect for my fellow citizens in this context. When trusted, we do an amazing job. And whether most of American culture treats individuals like mindless blobs, the justice system is built on trust in the wisdom of the people, who once so challenged, don't let us down. #

Between August 1 and 9 every year Deadheads around the world pause to reflect on and to celebrate the life of Jerry Garcia. #
I've finished the first pass of my review of the FeedLand docs. I converted them to Markdown, with the source hosted on GitHub, to make it easy for people to see the changes over time, and to make bug reports. I want to get more systematic in working on FeedLand. When you're reading a docs page, there's a command in the menu that opens the same page in GitHub. If you're a FeedLand user, you may want to read the new docs, it's always a good idea I find to review the docs of products I use. You often see things you didn't pick up on the first time around. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
