- Sadly, this was not our finest meal. Neither Robin nor Chris were feeling too well today. On top of that, Tuesday means half price burgers for Chris, so he wasn't especially hungry. It's too bad since we enjoyed this so much the last time that we had it. |

- Paul Boutin writes: Scott Rafer in the Netherlands confirms you can stream Iraq Satellite TV via RealPlayer or Windows Media Player from DSL-TV there. But trying to connect from the US gets an error message: "This broadcast is only viewable from a Dutch IP address." Never tell an American there's a channel he can't watch. |

- It has an inverse relationship of value to scale. Websites are better with more users. But inviting 10,000,000 to dinner or putting 10,000,000 in your Rolodex sucks. The smaller the pool, the more valuable the relationships. The unit of social software is small groups. |

- This expands possibilities for user-generated Web content. Weblogs have been about text, with pictures added. What if someone posts a picture of this kind, where various parts of the picture can tell a variety of stories? Or what if we can link, transparently, an audio stream? This could get interesting, fast. |

- Some day, you won't be able to email a query to a friend and rely on her getting the same results -- that's the downside of customization. If you take the average Google Query and give it ot a librarian, 80% of the time, he'll be able ot find the answer without any further customization -- they don't need to know how old or young the questioner is, or what her zipcode is. |

- How tech is changing war reporting. New York Times on how all the new gadgets journalists are using to cover the war, like compact satellite dishes, night scopes, digital video cameras, and of course, those live videophones, are changing war reporting: Reporters covering the war in Iraq are at one with their technology as never before. Television reporters are toting hand-held video cameras and print journalists have traded the 70-pound satellite phones of the 1991 Gulf War for svelte models that can be held up to their ear. High-speed Internet lines in the desert and more satellites in the sky mean journalists can make a connection almost anywhere. |

- General Motors, a company that gutted many of America's great cities by pressuring local governments to eliminate public transit in the 20th century, is running ads in a local Vancouver paper that calls transit riders "CREEPS & WEIRDOS." Another ad complains about the odor of the subway. Between Los Angeles's smog, Aussie brushfires and Middle East wars, I think we can say with confidence that GM's last kick at the public transit can incurred a debt to the human race the company could never repay. Hard to believe they've got the chutzpah to go at it again. Guess they've got nothing to lose. |

His point is that government requirement are one of the biggest drivers toward standardization. |
