Interesting reading for the weekend:

Madhu on why web advertising isn’t working and how website owners could change that. (Via JD Lasica )

Dan Gillmor on a sneaky little thing AOL 7.0 is doing to your internet settings.

Joel on Yahoo’s lazy programmers.

As for myself, it’s approaching midnight and I’ve been asleep, doped up on cold medicine for most of the day into evening.

Of course, some would argue that I never am capable of it. 🙂

Some in Silicon Valley breathed a sigh of relief as French voters overwhelmingly backed Emmanuel Macron as their next president over the far-right candidate, Marine Le Pen.   Whether that’s short-lived, however, depends on what Macron meant when he pledged to “regulate the internet” this month.
