Do you have aspirations to be a “wireless” blogger? Micheal & Brian over at The Wireless Report would like to know about you. They are looking for a 3rd blogger to help support the site, reporting on the wireless industry.
Think you have what it takes? Would you like to (I would, but don’t have the time)? Then check out the link below for details. That would be a sweet gig.
Alright, I’ve had enough whining from Dave Winer’s blog. Obviously all he wants to rant about during the election cycle is his slant of politics – which of course, while different than my viewpoint, is full of old-media bits and bites. He has made some good points over the last few weeks, but he’s still swallowing all the leftist-media bullshit and regurgitating it on his blog.
We all have that wonderful freedom here in America to talk about what we want to, I’m simply exercising my freedom to look elsewhere for information. I respect Dave Winer for many of the great things he has brought forward in technology that improves all of our online lives, but for now I’m unsubscribing from his blog Scripting News. Maybe in December or January I’ll check back to see if he has his politico hat off.
I’ve been trying the RSS reader in IE7, Onfolio, Firefox, and others for the last day or so. I keep coming back to Google Reader.
You can’t beat it’s simplicity, speed, and ease of use. There are more features in a number of readers, but all I need is to have an aggregator that simply lets me read the news that I’m interested in as quickly as possible. I also can manage one OPML list and access it from anywhere. Nothing else compares in the same way.
Combine GReader with hosted GMail, and Docs & Spreadsheets, and a common login. This makes all these features of Google work well together. Yes, they need more integration work, but that will happen over time.
I’ve yet to try the rating or sharing features, but will get to those soon. They look fairly interesting, and may be of use linked from my blog.
Nice upgrade, though it seems to be more of a security and small feature update than a larger release. Of course the changes in IE7 compared to IE6 are huge and are attracting a bit of press, as it should – it took MS long enough to upgrade the browser!
However, for daily browsing, Firefox seems to work best for me. I happen to use three browsers, the obvious two and Opera. Firefox is my “work” browser, meaning that I open all my email, blogging, Feed Reader, Search, and other task-based services in it. IE is my “default” browser – its just that, click on a link in email, opens in IE. I also use IE for additional research and news link following.
Opera is not used as much as FF & IE, its mainly for obscure sites – meaning that if the site is suspect, I paste the URL in Opera and see what happens – this simple trick has kept my IE install healthier than any other I have tried.
Anyway, FF2’s got game. Its not any one thing, just a great combination of usability in a browser. The only plugin that isn’t compatible at the moment is my Windows Live Writer “Blog It” plugin. Its a shame too, because that’s my most often used plugin!
This is one of those products that I believe will help move blogging into corporate America. With software features like LDAP authentication and enterprise-class support contracts, Six Apart is positioning it’s Movable Type blogging platform to fit into corporate-minded IT shops.
Corporate IT is usually religious in its zeal to secure and “normalize” any technology. Don’t get me wrong, the IT departments that do it right usually have less down-time and increased productivity from their IT systems. They just suck the soul out of a product in the process.
With a made-for-enterprise approach from one of the top blogging software purveyors, corporate blogging can begin to be rolled out in the traditionally controlled environments. Hopefully, MT will be able to bring even more conservative types into the blogosphere.
@MAC_Arms Pay taxes when you make your money, pay taxes when you spend your money, pay taxes when you successfully invest your money, pay taxes when you save enough taxed money to afford a house, pay taxes to live in your house, pay taxes when you sell the house that you paid taxes on to
Yup, taxes are criminal and we need serious reforms. I've always said that if you want to see a tax revolt, make withholdings illegal and have Americans write a tax check every payday. They'll revolt for sure. You don't miss what you never had.
Sen. @berniemoreno says voter ID and proof of citizenship are simply common sense.
“We’re talking about a very low threshold — identify who you are and prove you’re a U.S. citizen when you register to vote. I think we’re getting closer to
