Stuff you should know, stuff I should remember.

Assimilation countinues! [T]they have started an internationalized Web site that allows people who speak Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Portugese and Spanish to join and navigate the service in their native languages

I remember there being some backlash against ChangeThis, Seth and Co.’s site to distribute and give birth to a gang of manifestos. And yesterday I posted about Halley’s manifesto and mentioned that I hated that it was in PDF format. I’m a total purist. I’m too practical. Drives Ron crazy. I just want the content […]

I’m so glad I found Alex King’s templates to turn a WordPress blog into a handheld friendly format – I was going to try and do it myself! I’ll toy with it this weekend – which gives me an excuse to fire up the ol’ Palm V. WordPress Mobile Edition For Movable Type users: PDA […]

Everybody’s buzzing about MSFT’s foray into blogging, MSN Spaces: Scoble’s got a running list of commentary from around the sphere. Looks like it’s got the usual watered-down list of standard features coupled with Microsoft’s massive reach into nearly every aspect of our digital lives – and minus the easy intergration of other services.

Disgusting and inevitable: Just to let everyone know, my mother was murdered. So far the story checks out as the truth with a story in the Anchorage Daily News. So far she has over 1400 comments. (via Glassdog)

I attended Paul’s call – along with a bunch of other biz-bloz-heads – last week. Our topic was the idea of establishing a Business Blogging Chamber of Commerce. I’m not sure the eventual goal of such a group – as well as how formal it was all going to be. Some of the folks on […]

I’m not a mean person. But sometimes I get a little vindictive. I’d ordered two books from an Amazon seller onlinebooks2004. And the books didn’t arrive. 1 week overdue, 2 weeks overdue. No response from emailed queries. Nothing. I checked the purchase receipt in my email and found that it gave me an email address […]

Anil announced the TypeKey wiki devoted to outlining all the functions and functionality of Six Apart’s authentication schema. I’m weighing if I should attempt integrating this into this blog. I dunno. Maybe that’d be a barrier. Who knows. I also wonder why TypePad doesn’t use TypeKey. And why Six Apart isn’t hosting the wiki themselves. […]
