Blog roundup

Stuff I noticed this morning that I need to go back and read more of later, or that I just find interesting:

Library Planet pointed out a nice little recap of internet radio and what’s been going on that front lately.

Brad has a link to an article that talks about how Office 11 will only work with the latest versions of Windows OS. It’s a pretty shortsighted move by MS, but honestly, if you use 98 or Me, you weren’t going to buy Office 11 anyway, were you? If you were, I’d love to know what feature has you convinced that you need it.

Chris wrote up a funny little post that asks us to think about what it would be like if the intrusive advertising that’s done online were carried over into physical life. It’s probably a bit over the top but the gist is right on. We would never accept this level of intrusion into our physical space, why would advertisers expect it to be ok online?

Jennett.radio has a link to the story about AOL opening up AIM and ICQ to interoperate. First, it’s about damn time, AOL’s only owned them both for something like 3-4 years now. Second, it doesn’t solve the interoperability problem with other IM services, so it’s sort of non-news really.

Lastly, check out what Meryl has to say about blogging content in response to this article. I agree with Meryl, some blogs do go on about seemingly nothing, but then that’s what that particular person chose to write about, and if blogs are anything, they are individual. 🙂

    To the Jeff who emailed me about our voicemail server today, I haven’t been able to E-mail you back, my mail server is bouncing them. I guess it doesn’t have the proper DNS entries for your domain at this moment. Anyways I don’t really have anything permanent to solve the issue of your voicemail server…

  • Cleveland

    Yes, I’ll be in Cleveland for the In The Trenches Geek dinner with Kevin next week. I got all the details at work finalized so that I could be off Thursday afternoon to drive up there, and also Friday because I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a photo tour of the Cuyahoga Valley…

  • How to surf at work

    Kevin was kind enough to point to an article that tells people how to get around all the firewall and content restrictions we put in place on our work networks! Thanks a lot! 🙂 Seriously though, I’ve always been of the opinion that if you are technically capable enough to do all that, you were…

  • Pownce on Twitku

    Looks like Twitku is getting ready to add Pownce to it’s page, so you can interact with Twitter, Jaiku and Pownce all in one place. Currently Pownce is limited, “Non-public notes not shown and no posting yet.”, but I’m sure that will come in due time. Personally, I’m still sticking with using just Twitter, entirely…
