Zach Exley says software doesn’t win elections
Caught over at PoliticalWire, I see that Zach Exley says that:
“The difference between the approach of the left in general, and the Republicans, is that the left was more interested in just putting cool software up. The idea was to put up the tools and let people use them.”
He derided net evangelists who believed that […]
Biggert on the DeLay Rule
Josh — though promised a letter, I’ve never received one from Rep. Biggert’s office.
Vote Homann
Matt’s throwing his hat in the ring for Influential and Important Legal Thinker. I think it’s a great idea:
Legal Affairs Magazine is looking for the country’s twenty most influential and important legal thinkers. I would have nominated Dennis Kennedy, but he doesn’t think much of the list, so instead, I’m nominating myself.
Today, I proudly announce my candidacy for […]
Getting a TiVo?
For any of you getting a TiVo this Christmas, please consider mentioning me as your “referral source” during your service activation process… I’m part of the TiVo rewards program, which gets me some TiVo swag in return for recruiting more of you into the cult family.
Thanks.

Saw Paul Curreri Last Night…
Someday, I’ll be as good at something as Paul Curreri is at playing guitar. He was at Uncommon Ground last night in Chicago, then packed his bags for Nashville, where he’s performing tonight at the Springwater Supper Club. (Note to anyone reading this who’s in Nashville: do whatever it takes to see Paul perform tonight. […]
Google digitizing U Michigan’s library
All 7 million volumes of the Michigan library are getting Googled.
Incredible.
LexisNexis acquires Interface Software
Big news from my old employer: LexisNexis Acquires Interface Software.
This is exciting, definitely a win-win for both companies. It gives LexisNexis (when did they eliminate the hyphen in their name?) a best-of-breed software application with mission-critical importance at some of the largest professional services firms in the world, while providing InterAction customers with access to […]
Profile at JDBliss
The otherwise sensible folks at JDBliss took time out of their day to profile me on their site. I’m sure by tomorrow they’ll resume their normal standards.
Kidding aside, I’m flattered that they chose to profile me. To be honest, I don’t really think what I’ve done is all that remarkable — but if reading about […]
SBC Cingular AT&T Wireless “synergy”
Got a call Thursday night. It was an automated call. “This is just to confirm that your order with SBC has been completed. If you have any questions about this order, you can call SBC Customer Service at 1-800-244-4444.”
I looked at my wife. “Did we order anything from SBC?” “No.”
So I called. How foolish of […]
Thumbs up
Well, it was bound to happen.
After a couple months off on the basement project, I got back into it last weekend. The basement is split into two sections — the main “entertainment” space that includes the TV area, card table area, and bar; and the hallway, bookshelves and office. I got all the ceiling tiles […]
