Here's a new RSS feed for the New Hampshire presidential schedule. There are probably only five people who will care about this, but for those five people, it's an incredibly useful feed. (I was one of those people, that's why I did the coding.)

Does the BBC plan to release their old programs or just the new stuff? I wonder if NPR in the US will follow? PBS? I'd double my annual contribution. Think of the new software we could write once there was a sizable flow of content that could be channeled. Next question.

At least two Cluetrain authors took big trips this weekend. David Weinberger was the first blogger to travel with the press on a Presidential campaign tour, with the caveat that he isn't independent, he's sort of a House Blogger. And Doc Searls went to North Carolina to deliver the eulogy at his mother's funeral. As one might expect, Doc has a bunch of stories about it, and a story about stories. God bless Doc and his family -- no matter what the age, it must be hard losing a parent.
