From Acorns to Mighty Oaks

Staci D. Kramer
It's proof of the power of making an article available free of charge — even for a limited amount of time — and the kind of payoff it can bring.
Jenny Levine
As I tracked this same story, I saw a lot of posts asking for pointers to the full article since it was no longer available for free on the Cableworld site. I excerpted quite a bit of the article in my original post because I've noticed how often the original source is unavailable when I simply link to an external article. (Obviously Ms. Kramer hasn't seen how much I excerpted from the article! Now I'm expecting a letter in the mail....)

How to include a link to your RSS feed in HTML

Dave Winer
I'm not exactly sure where this is going, but there's been an interesting idea floating around the tech weblogs in the last 24 hours or so. People think it would be interesting if weblogs linked to their RSS feeds in the HTML source of the weblog, through the HTML element. This page explains how to add such an element to a Radio weblog.

Harry Browne

Pilots should be allowed to defend themselves

Bill St. Clair
And don't talk to me about stray bullets damaging the aircraft equipment. The government plans to shoot down future hijacked planes with heat-seeking missiles fired from jet fighters, killing all aboard. Much better to kill the hijackers on the spot, don't you think?
