Miguel (and others) might be interested in Keith's Group Blogger (KGB). Given that half the canine population of the world has written their own aggregator, its probable that its not unique, but I don't specifically know of any other instances of this idea. Basically it can be used to run something like Planet GNOME, but it also gives people the ability to create accounts and generate custom RSS feeds. Allows the possibility of a "do your own group blog" sort of site, I guess. This sort of functionality would be especially cool if any user could publish a particular "blog set" that other people could subscribe to. So somebody might have a mono blog set, and a gnome hackers blog set, etc. And you'd be able to add all of these to your particular news feed easily from a single site. Dunno, customization stuff like this tends not to get used extensively ("paradox of the active user"), but maybe if you made the interface clean and convenient enough it could be pretty cool.

I am not unreasonable. I work in technology. I know technology can fail; miserably and mysteriously, abruptly and unexpectedly.

Editor in chief of The New York Times on the Web, Len Apcar brought Times majesty to BloggerCon this weekend, and a certain blog envy, too. Listen to Apcar and make your own guess how long it will be before the New York Times (the online edition) certifies the sea change in media with its own Times-style blog about opera, or art, or more likely, about the 2004 presidential campaign.

Jeff Jarvis of Advance Publications, the Newhouse empire, was the other corporate media biggie at BloggerCon, making rather a striking contrast with the gentleman from The New York Times, Len Apcar. At BuzzMachine, of course, Jeff Jarvis is himself a voluminous and often counterintiutive blogger. He's a liberal who was radicalized by September 11 and cheered the War in Iraq. He's had a newspaper career in San Francisco and Chicago. He wrote TV criticism for People magazine and TV Guide, and was the founding editor of Entertainment Weekly. In his online eminence within Advance.net for the last nine years, he has become an unbuttoned zealot about the Internet ("the first medium that's owned by its audience") and about blogging ("the highest form thus far of audience content").

( Arnold the Octopus "Dirty politics," "smear tactics," republican candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger cries, two days before an almost unheard of election to recall the legitimately elected governor ...)
Arnold the Octopus "Dirty politics," "smear tactics," republican candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger cries, two days before an almost unheard of election to recall the legitimately elected governor of a state. Isn't that what this whole recall election is? A republican-funded exercise in dirty politics, employing smear tactics to distort the record of an unpopular but legally elected governor? The Arnold (sorry but I'm just not going to type Schwarzenegger over and over) campaign wonders why these allegations are surfacing "now, in the final days of the campaign." His supporters are repeating the talking points to anyone with a microphone. Yet I became aware of allegations concerning Arnold's bad behavior as soon as he announced his candidacy. Maybe that's because I read the British newspapers in addition to US papers. The Guardian had a summary of Arnold on August 8, shortly after he announced he would be running which referenced an article published in Premiere magazine. This ...

I finally got to Dirty Pretty Things last night. Kinda wish I hadn't. I believe it's the first Stephen Frears film I disliked. The Grifters is one of my all-time faves, Sammy and Rosie Get Laid is incredible, and I really enjoyed Hi Fidelity when I got to it a few months ago so belatedly. Not this time. I didn't hate it by any means, and it grew on me a great deal toward the end, but what a load of work and what a dreary way to spend two hours with not a lot of payoff. I guess that last part is the most important. I prefer movies not torture me to get where they want me, but I'll live through anything if the payoff is there. Not sure what it was supposed to provoke me to think about--oh, I guess I do: that really poor illegal immigrants have a really bad time of it--but it didn't really give me much new insight into that that I didn't already have. Didn't make me think much at all, and didn't make me feel a whole lot either. Dull, dreary and tedious. It didn't really have to be ...

I hate titles. No, really. Okay, not always. Sometimes a title just comes to me. Sometimes it's simply there. Other times, I struggle for words, digging endlessly through the Internet for interesting phrases; I surf the thesaurus, the dictionary, encyclopedias....

Krunal and I went for the web designing contest at TSEC's ISAAC '03. I wasn't very keen, but Krunal needed the certificate bad...yea, he was confident we would win.Apparently, the judges couldn't quite believe that we created our website in the allotted time. The last time we were here we had a big argument with the organizers about the results—the judges had not considered our website because they felt it couldn't have been made by us. This time around we won the 2nd prize, which is really a pathetic consolation. Thankfully, this was the last time we would be ever going to TSEC.I guess among so many mediocre folks, it's really difficult to stand out when you're too good. I might be sounding chesty, but then that's perfectly alright.
