“As my blog has grown in popularity, we realized we were ready to switch to a platform offering more programming options. After careful research, that new platform will be Wordpress, which we hope to launch tomorrow with an exciting photo gallery from my most recent trip to Mexico.” — Martha Stewart. Ms. Stewart was previously on Typepad. Hat tip: Joe Clark.

Why I Think Palin Will Step Down (1) share digg
by Joanne McNeil (4) on Tomorrow Museum (2) 2 days, 12 hours ago permalink
Unlike Sen. McCain, I’m not a gambler, but I’d put $5 on Palin being replaced with Bobby Jindal by October. To “be with her family,” of course. Apart from Bristol’s bump and her “undecided” mother-in-law, there are too many potential scandals to count. Just as she cancels out the experience argument, an Alaska successionist is weirder than knowing one of the Weather Underground. The firing of Walt Monegan is easier to understand than the Rezko ...

Κάτω από τα 106 $ το πετρέλαιο (1) share digg
by Νίκος Δρανδάκης (6) on NYLON (8) 2 days, 20 hours ago permalink
Με την είδηση της νέας πτώσης στην τιμή του πετρελαίου κάτω από τα 106 δολάρια, μου γεννήθηκε η εξής απορία: που εξαφανίστηκαν οι “δυνάμεις της αγοράς” που το έστειλαν στα 150 (σχεδόν) δολάρια? Που είναι αυτοί που έλεγαν ότι η αύξηση οφείλεται στη μεγάλη ζήτηση της Κίνας και της Ινδίας? Έπεσε αυτή η ζήτηση κατά 30% ξαφνικά? Με τέτοια πτώση οι οικονομίες τους θα είχαν καταρρεύσει. Μήπως παίζονται αλλού τα παχνίδια με την τιμή του ...

My Dream (1) share digg
by The Angry Drunk (0) on The Angry Drunk (0) 6 days, 10 hours ago permalink
This is my dream for Obama’s first press conference after the inauguration: Obama walks to the podium. Suddenly old-school hip hop starts playing and Obama yells, “Yo! Yo! Yo my negroes! Where all the white women at up in the hizz-ouse?” Once the screams of horror and panic die down the music will stop, and Obama will calmly say, “Yeah, that’s what I thought. Screw you honkey motherfuckers.”

The Difference Between Someone Who Makes Something and Someone Who Sells Something (1) share digg
by Association Inc. (Kevin Holland) (0) on Association Inc. (0) 6 days, 12 hours ago permalink
In a world where people love to talk about “decentralized” this and “open source” that, Rohit makes the excellent point that much of Apple’s success comes as a result of its tight-fisted control over “distribution” — which doesn’t sound as sexy as “design.”

Off Topic: Why People, Not Technology, Matter (5) share digg
by Stacey Higginbotham (53) on GigaOM (646) 6 days, 14 hours ago permalink
I know this is a technology blog rather than a political or personal blog, but two things are weighing on my mind. First off is Obama’s speech last night. Regardless of your political leanings, his call for people to come together and take action for the greater good was inspiring. The second is Hurricane Gustav. These two events have the potential to reinforce the power that individual people have. For as long as I’ve been ...

And then there was the story of Charles. Chuck, like so many of us, spent too much time online. How much is too much? Let me put it to you this way. When he got down on one knee to propose to his girlfriend, he told her how he felt in words that just sprung from his heart fully formed. He explained that he would never give her up or let her down. He would ...

No, Seriously: Microsoft Patents Page Up & Page Down [GigaOM] (32) share digg
by Om Malik (376) on GigaOM (646) 1 week, 1 day ago permalink
Put this in the category of “you gotta be kidding me.” Microsoft has applied for and received a patent (U.S. Patent #7,415,666) that essentially patents “Page Up/Page Down” functionality. The patent (Timothy D Sellers, Heather L. Grantham, Joshua A. Dersch) that was filed in March 2005 is yet another proof that our patent system is as (if not more) dysfunctional as Britney Spears. Method and system for navigating paginated content in page-based increments A method ...

What if Alejandro Jodorowsky directed Dune? (1) share digg
by Joanne McNeil (4) on Tomorrow Museum (2) 1 week, 1 day ago permalink
Alejandro Jodorowsky originally wanted to direct Dune. “[Salvador] Dalí agrees with much enthusiasm the idea to play the Emperor of the galaxy. He wants to film in Cadaquès and to use as throne a toilet made up of two intersected dolphins. The tails will form the feet and the two open mouths will be used one to receive the “wee”, the other to receive the “excrement”. Dalí thinks that it is of terrible bad taste ...

Professionalism in web standards (1) share digg
by Peter (65) on Broken Links (0) 1 week, 3 days ago permalink
I’m slightly late with this, but I was happy to see that Opera have launched their first Web Standards Curriculum for teaching best practice in client-side development. With developers in the Netherlands setting up what could well be the world’s first front-end professional guild, and a full British Standard for accessibility in the works, the signs are promising that we’re entering into a new phase of professionalism in web development.
