As of 5 pm Thursday, Scripting News blogger davewiner is sitting in the Blogger Press Booth on level 4 in the stadium with a fantastic air conditioned view of the stage and high speed ethernet. Here are a few of the pics he's taken so far (it is early)! I LOVE Twitter! http://bit.ly/1tVAxZ , http://bit.ly/1JoM1K , and (video) http://bit.ly/3Ez1Uz . Bloggers ROCK.
I am still conflicted regarding what laptop I should purchase next as my IBM ThinkPad gets old/obsolete. Dave Winer of Scripting News is covering the Democratic National Convention. He took along both his 17" MacBook Pro and his Asus Eee PC. Via Twitter he offers this picture of them side-by-side. Which to buy? Maybe both? Hmmmmm. Click iage to enlarge.
We clearly need an IRC space for the DNC. So here it is... irc://irc.freenode.net/#dnc08 Hope to see you there! PS: This could be an interesting place for people who are here in Denver to ping each other too. Let's have a Scripting News meetup? I'm definitely up for it. I hardly know anyone here!
Dave Winer (one of the blog creators; bow down, bloggers ) is in the Pepsi Center sending reports via both his blog, Scripting News , and Twitter. If you use Twitter, follow him at DaveWiner . Amazingly, he is using an Asus Eee PC (see image of a model holding an Eee - left). Click to enlarge the image; yes, it really is that SMALL. So there, all you overly expensive computers; take note. When I started...
Edwards scandal idicts MSM and political bloggers This morning two editorials one in the LA Times and the other in The Moderate Voice, a political blog, provide a fresh perspective on the Edwards scandal. The story broke in the National Enquirer, months ago, long before the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary, yet mainstream press and bloggers [...]
Could Vista fail? I was thinking about Vista yesterday when I was working on my Asus Eee PC, getting it ready to be my media workstation during the Democratic Convention later this month. I was having a bunch of problems with XP, one of which was related to the fact that it came of age before [...]
Let’s pick a day and all inflate our tires together I love how Barack Obama picked up the ball and threw it back in the Republican’s faces. Indeed, they do annoy with their ignorance, they’re not really that stupid, but they delight in provoking a reaction. It’s not even smart politics as Maureen Dowd pointed out [...]
My to-do list for Identi.ca I had a great phone conversation yesterday with Evan at Identi.ca. It was just an hour, but we covered a lot of ground. And Evan is an open kind of guy, so I’m pretty sure he won’t mind me saying what I was lobbying for him to do next. 1. Cosmetics. I [...]
My kind of blogging and the 2008 campaign Not that anyone is paying attention, but I seem to disagree with almost everyone about what blogging is. To me it’s the empowerment of the individual to speak for him or herself, not through filters of the press. I learned first-hand about those filters when I briefly took [...]
Twitter will kick themselves for missing this Imagine if the world of Instant Messaging had been under one roof, if one vendor had invented it, and had 100 percent market share. Further, what if that vendor had the foresight that there would be other vendors and that compatibility between their services would make a huge market, [...]
Playing the race card Obama plays the race card when he takes the stage. Look at his face. He’s an African-American. There’s the race issue. Can’t be hidden. It’s right there. Next issue.
McCain runs a cowardly sleazy ad, early Here’s a blogger doing what a blogger should do. 1. McCain is running an ad that, without saying anything that can be rebutted, shows images of promiscuous young white women in a commercial filled with imagery of Barack Obama, a black man. 2. Marshall says (and so far is right) that [...]
What is a liberal? I listened to part of Fresh Air today in the car and they were talking about arms control in Reagan’s presidency, and were throwing around terms like liberal and such as if they were technical terms that had well-established definitions. Then I realized I had no idea what it meant. What makes [...]
Music Video Search Engine Knol is Google's Wikia (Dave Winer/Scripting News) Wikia is Jimmy Wales' dream of doing to Google what Wikipedia did to Britannica. Unfortunately for Wales and his investors, Google had a 10-year lead, and a huge ecosystem had been built up around it. Google is a thriving coral reef, and one doesn't just show … New study finds healthy children of Alzheimer patients show early...
