Jeff Jarvis rejects the cult of the omnipotent state… Sort of…A few of you will get that joke (and by few I’m probably only talking about myself), I’ll explain it soon, it ties into my own personal political philosophy.

A thought about the Republican Senators (including McCain) who stated that Kerry is not weak on defense:Some may see their actions as hurting the Bush campaign. They may actually be killing Kerry with kindness.On foreign policy, I belive that Kerry want’s to attack Bush’s record, and leave his own possible actions as President, vague. It’s […]

David Allen, author of “Getting Things Done”, and workflow management consultant, has just started a personal blog.I’ve found his book, and his newsletter extremely helpful in becoming more organized, and… well.. getting things done.Now, I won’t exactly put myself up as a poster boy for David’s work, as I’ve got a long way to go […]

The AP… Constantly editing…

Posted on March 18th, 2004 by Shawn L.

I’ve been using RSS feeds more and more lately, and I’ve found a unique side benefit from them.The feed reader I use on the Mac, NetNewsWire, makes note of any edits made, by showing the stricken text in red with a line through it, and added text in green.The feeds that get edited the most, […]

Glenn Reynolds has brass ones…

Posted on March 16th, 2004 by Shawn L.

There’s no other conclusion to make, having read this slam at the news media, and mentioning Tom Brokaw by name… on MSNBC !!!At the very least it proves that he may have “taken the Boeing”, but he hasn’t sold out.Before you know it Glenn will be slapping a “Made on a Mac” tag on the […]

What the “L”?

Posted on March 15th, 2004 by Shawn L.

One of today’s headlines in the Portland Press Herald:“Basketbal’s geography bee: Maine vs. Texas Tech in Montana” (* DING *)Sorry, Press Herald, you lose the spelling bee, there are two “L”s in Basketball.My spelling isn’t perfect either, but I think a spell checker (or a copy editor) should have caught this error.

Elections under threat of violence.

Posted on March 15th, 2004 by Shawn L.

One of the possible motives for the recent bombings in Spain, is to influence the elections this weekend. If so, the terrorists may have won, or at the very least may believe that they have won.The incumbent government in Spain lost the elections to the Socialists. Debate over this can be found at Instapundit, Buzzmachine, […]

Posted on March 7th, 2004 by Shawn L.

From a story in today’s New York Times in the business section, “Expired: How a Credit King Was Cut Off”:Mr. Freeh said he first met Mr. Cawley in the summer of 1998. Taking a break from his F.B.I. duties, he packed his wife and six children into a Chevrolet Suburban and drove up Interstate 95 […]

Not to harp too much on web traffic, even though I seem to talk about it every other post…But I’m amazed. In just two days, I’ve increased my traffic incredibly. 60 Hits!!! Looking at the referral logs, most of it is from google searches on the Oscars, especially searches about Liv Tyler’s glasses. ( Beats […]

Oscar blogging – Wrap-Up

Posted on March 1st, 2004 by Shawn L.

2003 was a great year for films. There were years in the past when there were nominees in some of the categories that were obviously there to fill out the required number of nominees. This year you could have expanded the number of nominees in many categories, and still have deserving people stuck on the […]
