My first dumpster has arrived.

My first dumpster has arrived. I made a dent in the piles of garbage in just one part of the house, barely covering the bottom of the 20 cubic yard dumpster. I estimate I'll need four of these before the house is ready to move. Filling a dumpster is good exercise! Sweating. I like it.

Danny Sullivan: "Google has long said it has no intention of becoming a portal, but so far, it's hard not to see the acquisition of Blogger as adding a portal feature in the same way that Yahoo did when it bought GeoCities."

It's just scary how measurable things are nowadays.

Six months ago I ran some Google queries for "microsoft blogs" and "apple blogs" and "linux blogs" and blogged the results. Here is an update:...

Greg Reinacker's NewsGator

Greg Reinacker's NewsGator is a fabulous hack: an Outlook plug-in (based on the .NET CLR, by the way) that reads RSS newsfeeds.

It supports Outlook 2000 or 2002; I'm using 2000. I pointed it at my OPML subscriptions list and it scooped everything into a set of subfolders. Very NetNewsWire-like! ...

Scott Guthrie opens a window on ASP.NET

Scott Guthrie

It's great to see that Scott Guthrie, Microsoft's ASP.NET lead, has popped up on the blog radar screen.

Back in 2001, for Dr. Dobb's TechNetCast, Scott gave a fascinating and candid talk on the genesis of ASP.NET. Some interesting points from that talk:...

LibraryLookup update

The LibraryLookup project seems to be moving forward nicely.

The Feb 15 issue of Library Journal has this article by Brian Kenney. Elsewhere, The Shifted Librarian, pointing to Peter Scott's Library Blog, writes:

What a great blog! Smart marketing. My favorite part, though, is that the Lane staff are promoting the LibraryLookup bookmarklet they made through Jon Udell's generator. They have a whole page devoted to it. Excellent! [The Shifted Librarian]

I'm seeing other libraries put up LibraryLookup how-to pages for their patrons too, for example the King County, Washington library. Ole Anderson wrote to point out that the Danish public library portal (which fronts about 300 libraries, he says) uses URLs like this -- http://bibliotek.dk/vis.php?term1=is%3D8789778014, which means this bookmarklet -- bibliotek.de -- should work for all of them, if you're coming from, say, http://www.amazon.dk. At the University of Texas, you can use this bookmarklet -- UTNetCAT. ...

Outlining Radio's News Aggregator

Mikel Maron: "activeRenderer View for News Aggregation.

This is very cool. I've been using the aggregator in an outline, for a couple months now, and I wouldn't go back. Do check out the screenshot and I hope this update is enjoyed."

Wow, cool indeed :-). With Mikel's myRadio tool, you can use Radio's aggregator, and get a better organized view of your feeds.

If you're like John Robb, browsing through 116 subscribed feeds, the new version of myRadio sounds like a winning proposition. [read more]

Those Were The Days...

Bowling For Columbine is a great American movie about the less savory part of our culture and psyche.

Mickey Moore's site has a very informative collection of links about the US assistance to Iraq between 1982 and 1990. It helps put today's media propaganda into perspective.

Wiki Wiki

Bill Seitz: "Hmm, what if you built a wiki inside Radio (or UserlandManila or UserlandFrontier)?

The WikiName approach is not too far from the Userland glossary... I wonder (a) how much new work you'd have to do to get basic wiki functionality, and (b) in that approach how much cool Userland stuff (e.g. upstreaming, RSS) you'd still get for free..." [read more]
