The most cogent observation from ClickZ…
…comes from Rick Bruner, writing at MarketingFix :
Denise Howell is totally hot.
No sense denying it. I had dinner with her earlier this year and can confirm that Denise is, in fact, a babe. Several co-workers saw me leave my hotel with Denise, prompting this conversation after I returned:
Co-worker: “Let me get this straight. You met […]
Weblog conference in Boston
Some great live blogging is happening from the Jupiter/ClickZ Weblog Business Strategy Conference. You can follow a few of the most prolific posters: Denise and David Weinberger are both doing a fantastic job.
Or you could just go to the metablog set up for this conference. Anytime anyone posts to their blog about this conference and […]
Excerpt from Gov. Dean’s speech today
For those that didn’t catch Governor Dean today in Iowa (or on C-Span’s broadcast of the event), here is the key new segment in the stump speech. As I said earlier today, I think this represents a powerful new element of the Dean strategy.
Today this country is facing a serious crisis. I’m talking about the […]
Dean: What Did Bush Know, and When Did He Know It?
AP Wire | 06/08/2003 | Dem. Candidates Question Bush on Iraq
Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean revived a Watergate-era phrase to raise questions about whether Bush withheld information from Congress: “The question now is going to become, `What did the president know, and when did he know it?’”
I just saw this on C-Span, and it struck […]
MTTextile - another excellent plugin
I’m starting to get the hang of Movable Type so that I can go beyond the basics and push it in interesting ways. I just found Brad Choate’s excellent MTTextile plugin – and for anyone who uses MT this is just about a must have.
It greatly simplifies text entry – so that instead of adding […]
Smarty pants plugin to Movable Type
I just installed John Gruber’s “smarty pants” plugin to Movable Type. The oddly named but quite interesting little hack is designed to take straight ASCII text and convert it to typographically “proper” characters. For example, the quotes around smarty pants and proper are now auto-magically converted to curly quotes. And — get this — those […]
New video at HowardDean.tv: CNN report on Meetup
The latest video at HowardDean.tv is this week’s CNN report about the Meetup pheonomenon for Governor Dean’s campaign. While the report notes that political analysts aren’t placing much faith in the Meetup numbers, it’s a good snapshot of a number of supporters, why they’re there, and how Meetup is inspiring new groups of people to […]
Matrix Reloaded on Imax this weekend
Matrix release a big test for Imax large-screen theaters – Jun. 6, 2003
This weekend, 39 of 95 commercial Imax theaters will start showing the Matrix sequel while the movie is still playing on thousands of conventional movie screens. In November, when the third leg of the trilogy, “The Matrix: Revolutions” hits the nation’s multiplexes, it […]
More thoughts on the Matrix
There’s an ongoing thread attached to a post I made after seeing Matrix: Reloaded about some of the underlying meaning. But for the mother of all threads, be sure to head over to Jason Kottke’s site where there are (as of this writing) 458 comments. Whoa.
In related news, today Ernie points us to a critic’s […]

Federal court approves cellular number portability
Hallelujah. Today, a federal court rejected an appeal from wireless companies and ruled that consumers should have the right to retain their old phone numbers when switching carriers.
Consumer advocates say the inability to retain numbers is one of the biggest barriers preventing more cell […]
