- Molly Wood writes: 'There's a long-standing argument in the blog world about whether bloggers should be considered journalists. Many bloggers, in fact, believe that large-scale blogging actually trumps traditional journalism because it provides speedy access to a worldwide network of links, eyewitnesses, and commentary. [...] I used to believe that the two represented completely different modes of communication. |

- Finished the Children of Dune miniseries. Having not read the original books (it seems to be a combination of Dune Messiah and Children of Dune), I had no preconceptions one way or the other, the way I did with both attempts at Dune adaptations. I liked it. At least the backgrounds weren’t those painted scenes. |

- The joy of the Internet is that it is not a smart network, it doesn't know what kind of traffic it is carrying, it doesn't provide any clever services, all it does is transfer bits from A to B. Industries whose business models are threatened by an increasing inability to control their customers' behaviour are screaming for File sharing technologies to be clamped down and tied up. They thought they had an answer when they realised that most file sharing applications sued the same "port" to exchange traffic. Plainly the technobunnies in the media business assumed that this "port" was a physical thing that they could plug. It's not, its a metaphor. |

- Doggie daddyhood is way more involved than I realized. Not only is it terribly time-consuming and expensive, it’s also full of unexpected perils. Over the course of just three and a half months of daddyhood, I’ve had to help see Mister President through a worm infestation, a puncture wound from a dog fight, diarrhea, swallowed squeaky toys that aren’ |

Wastrel (Mar 19 2003 04:37 GMT) - As you know if you've been following my posts, I've had a string of annoying problems which all seem to contribute to my lack of sleep. This isn't entirely true, as I actually slept more while fighting the flu than I had before. Now that the flu is pretty much gone, I'm apparently reverting to restless and choppy sleep, given last night as an example. I don't know when or if this condition will correct itself. The upshot of this is that I concentrate all my mental acuity into the daylight hours at work, and by the time I arrive home, my brain is pretty much ready for a vacation. |
