WordPress (Dec 12 2003 04:20 GMT) - WordPress : Looks like a good blogging platform built on PHP / MySQL, which is just so much more hackable than the Perl / MySQL backend Movable Type uses. GPL, even. WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with... |

- The ball tucked securely under his right arm, Mike Nattiel dashed down the right sideline, carrying with him the hopes of every undersized and overlooked college linebacker in the country. As he returned an interception 80 yards for a touchdown Sunday, capping the Vikings' 34-7 romp against Seattle, Nattiel felt vindicated. |

- Jon Carroll says that instead of Davy Crockett's motto, perhaps we'd better served by, "Be sure you're right, but be alert for signs that you are wrong.": Seems to me that our current president is a "be sure you're right, then go ahead" kind of guy. He makes a public virtue of "staying the course," which is a good idea only if the course is a good idea. The invasion and occupation of Iraq was never a good idea, and it gets less good all the time, and staying that course is a chump's game. |

- Matt Mackall announced a new "-tiny" patchset for the 2.6 kernel, humorously explaining the chosen name, "someone already took -mm" (referring of course to Andrew Morton's [interview] -mm patchset [story], coincidentally Matt's initials). As to its purpose, Matt explains, "The aim of this tree is to collect patches that reduce kernel disk and memory footprint as well as tools for working on small systems, an area Linux mainstream has been moving away from since Linus got a real job. Target users are things like embedded systems, small or legacy desktop folks, and handhelds." He goes on to further describe: |

- Krystolline Clarity "But it seems to me that the debate on Iraq, as on so many things in the Bush administration, was pretty much stalled before Sept. 11. You had bureaucratic gridlock. The president hadn't seen much of a need to focus on the issue. State and Defense were at loggerheads. |

- Up in Boston, we just got to watch an astounding new band, Khevre, blow the house down. Comprised of (compromised by?) students from the New England Conservatory, including one the singers (Aoife O'Donovan) from my favorite bluegrass band, Wayfaring Strangers (the "Brave Old World" of bluegrass), this was intensely good. Bandleader Michael Winograd was amazing on clarinet. Maybe better. |
