 Cory is consistant with his views on how people can use content in the privacy of their own home.  To a large extent, I agree -- I like the ability to make copies of the movies and songs I own.  However, what I don't want to see is a commercial entity (Google or Microsoft) layer their ads on other people's copyrighted content (using Google's method, it's the vast majority of the Web that hasn't even heard of this discussion and will not know to insert a block on the tool).   That being said, if Microsoft or someone else built an open tool that let the user dictate the data sets, the affiliate IDs, etc. used to create autolinks or replace advertising on a Web page, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

 An entrepreneur friend of mine is urging me to start a company to build an RSS toolbar that replaces Web page advertising with RSS links and inserts autolinks to RSS items into Web page content.  Interesting...

 Hey Cory, can I specify that the Google toolbar's ISBN and book title autolinks to use my affiliate ID?

 My oldest child is now 15 years old.  Wow!  Time flies when you are having fun.  The cool part is that my son and I have a great relationship that will likely last for life.

 Hey Michael, if Thomas Nelson would like to publish a book on business blogs, please drop me a line.  I have tons of material (lots of case studies and insightful analysis) and an ability to write it quickly.  An example of a K-Logs post.

 Ok.  The snow is blown from the driveway.  The sidewalks are shovelled.  Whew!  One good thing about this is that it saves me $35 a pop by doing it myself.

 ATThe al-Saud regime, which now understands how the Western media works well enough to be able to manipulate it, quietly appointed just one day before the Riyadh elections took place - meaning when everyone was looking the other way - an ultra-conservative religious leader, Abdullah bin Saleh al-Obaid, as the new education minister.
