Boston Globe - Blogs Shake the Political Discourse
The article I referred to a few weeks ago is now out, by Joanna Weiss at the Boston Globe. Titled Blogs shake the political discourse, it’s a nice overview of the impact that blogs are having on the presidential campaign.
The article takes a local focus — Oliver Willis (Dedham), and Jock Gill (Medford) are both […]
Life on the road - it’s all glamorous
My itinerary today:
9:30am flight: Chicago – DC. Cancelled. (Got the last seat on the next flight, got in a half hour ahead of my meeting.)
Got into DCA after my meeting to fly to Raleigh and noticed that flights to Raleigh were delayed 2-3 hours. Rather than wait until 8:45, I noticed the 5:30 was due […]
Movable Type enhancement
Over at my Dean campaign blog, I mentioned that I helped the campaign update the official campaign blog over the weekend. Specifically, we added permalinks to comments and added “mail this entry to a friend” functionality. Both are simple tweaks to Movable Type that greatly enhance the weblog. One of my readers asked how I […]

Comments now have permalinks. If you see something that someone says that you want to share, you can now share it by simply copying the link next to […]

History comes alive
Like Matthew Langer, I have long been an admirer of Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. (I have my high school history teacher — Winslow Smith — to thank for that.)
For that reason, I quote in its entirety Matthew’s post from earlier today. I completely agree with him — this is breathtaking.
I read a lot of history, and […]
Google NonSense
So I got interested in Google’s new AdSense program. It doesn’t cost much to run this blog (all told, hosting and software costs run about $300/year), but I figured the AdSense program might be a nice way to recoup just a tiny bit of the investment.
So I signed up. Here is the e-mail thread that […]
