Blog roundup

Some things I noticed this morning in my blog reading:

I’m not the only one having trouble with hotels. Jenny is dealing with a hotel that promised her high speed internet access, but doesn’t really have it. How do you get that wrong? You either have it or you don’t.

On the good news front, Erik and his wife are expecting their first two children! Just remember Erik, with twins there’s twice as many diapers, twice as many 2AM feedings, and you and your wife don’t outnumber them. But I’m still happy for ya’! 🙂 (There’s also twice as many smiles, twice as many first steps and, I assume, twice as many online pics…)

On a lighter election note, Doc pointed out that Tara Sue Grubb, the now-infamous “blogging candidate” was closing in on 10% of the vote, which is respectable. I say, big deal. Here in the wonderful state of Ohio, Jim Traficant got 15% of the vote (scroll down to the district 17 results), and he’s in jail!! I’m so proud to live in Ohio right now, let me tell you…

BTW, the liberal leaning folks in my blogroll who are so depressed about what happened last night, and are now convinced that the Republican party is going to ruin, in order, the economy, the environment, world peace (like that was going so well before yesterday?), the Bill of Rights (except for the gun stuff), abortion rights, social security (see world peace..), medicare, welfare, education (also, see world peace..), racial harmony, etc., etc. need to get a grip. Life goes on, as it always does, no matter what party is in power.

On a tech update note, after much effort and testing and retesting, all of the static pages of this site now validate 100%. The blogger page doesn’t, because of the blogger tags and the way the blogger publishing engine generates the pages. I can’t really do anything about that. It’s close enough for government work, as they say. I still need to do all of that photo scanning, I’ve been putting it off because it takes so much time!

    Is the Internet Broken, or are We Broken?

    I read this recent quote from an article about Ev Williams this week and something seemed oddly familiar about it: The trouble with the internet, Mr. Williams says, is that it rewards extremes. Say you’re driving down the road and see a car crash. Of course you look. Everyone looks. The internet interprets behavior like…

  • Yes, podcasting sucks…

    It seems that now that John Dvorak has written, negatively as always, about podcasting, everyone has had this or that to say about the “fad”. (No I’m not even going to bother linking, you know where it is, you’ve probably read it by now!) Let me just start out my particular screed with this caveat….

  • Interesting resource

  • For Jeff

    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…

  • Podcasting Book

    I’ve been reading Todd Cochrane’s Podcasting book that I won from the Chuck Chat Technorama Show 50 contest. My impressions of the book have been really positive. It’s really written with enough techincal information to keep the geek in all of us interested, while still being easy enough to follow for the newbie. It covers…
