Wow.  Michael Jackson's newsroom is full of "malignant horde," "the big lie," and "media hounds."  LOL.  Did they get Goebbel's to write this?  Aren't we just a little to sophisticated for this crap?? 4:55:48 PM    Comment_ Trackback []

Of course, my e-mail is available via the little envelope on the right side.  4:44:36 PM    Comment_ Trackback []

I have to worry about what Volokh says.  I can either publish what I am working on (and alert planners and the public to an impending disaster they need to know about) or stay silent in worry about legal action against me.  Very interesting situation.  I think I will publish. 4:40:03 PM    Comment_ Trackback []

What is the next big thing?  Is it some great new technology?  What will capture the minds (or better, the attention) of the world over the next decade?  The answer is the next war.  Terrorism and what comes after.  We are just in the initial stages.  It is a different war than we are used to, based on a new social and technological substrate (a global networked economy).  It will dominate the next decade (and perhaps longer), and bring the war to the living room.  So, this weblog will spend more time on that topic.  Just a taste:  Meet Jose.  He is a global guerrilla.  He is funded, educated, armed, and extremely pissed.  He isn't your daddy's rice paddy farmer.  The intro article is worked out (nothing like it available today), and a little funding (to provide money for travel expenses) will provide enough background to make the hairs on the back on your neck stand up.  I can make this into a series.  More to come in my book. 4:27:45 PM    Comment_ Trackback []

Register.  Archive.org to host the independent music titles stored in collections in the now defunct MP3.com. "Our approach is to provide unlimited bandwidth forever for free," he told us today. "There's no amount of material that frightens us. MP3.com's collection is five terabytes. No sweat. We've been adding forty terabytes a month." Kahle added that the archive.org had plenty of bandwidth too. 6:42:24 AM    Comment_ Trackback []
