WinZip 10.0 was released today. Hardly anyone noticed. WinZip is one of those eponymous applications that has outlived itself. It’s not that no one compresses data anymore, but WinZip has started the downward spiral into obscurity. At one point, one couldn’t get around without WinZip. In the days when hard drives were measured in megabytes […]
Please ignore this post, this is so I don’t lose the link. Link
I haven’t written specifically about Google Print (although I’ve alluded to it a couple of times), but I thought, hey, better late than never. There are literally millions of posts all over the Web about this, so I won’t bore you with a recap. What I will do is ask a question that has been […]

BoingBoing, Dan Gillmor, Steve Rubel, Robert Scoble, Paul Kedrosky, Mike from Techdirt, and Gary Stein have all weighed in. Can’t wait to see what Jeff Jarvis has to say about this.
Congratulations to Forbes for having one of the most poorly written articles on blogging ever. Daniel Lyons, who obviously falls squarely on the side of the older styles of journalism (those would be nepotism, invective, and abuse), pens a mighty blow against “the ultimate vehicle for brand-bashing, personal attacks, political extremism and smear campaigns”, blogs.

The comments situation here will continue as I just had a fun peek into my server stats. 22.09% of the requests to my site are to mt-comments.cgi. Oddly, the most bandwidth passes from my Politics category, but that’s another story. Now, I don’t pretend to be in any way important to the community; this is […]
