About corporate blogging 
Another blog piece, this one in the Seattle Times. Thanks to Buzz for the link. (Buzz also has a wi-fi idea/request on today's blog.)
Just wondering
Can anybody explain items 1 and 2 here? Context.
New high crap mark
Got 136 mails when I got online (through Ethernet kindly provided for $9.95 Canadian). 107 of them were spam, or virus-bearing hate mail.
I think that's a good name for it, no? Maybe contept mail would be better. You may not hate people if you send them all a virus. But contempt would do.
Trials of incumbency, cont'd
Interesting JPB interview in the American Spectator. A sample:
| | We¹re in the middle of a thorough renegotiation of every power relationship on the planet. Those who have had power are going to have to earn it all over again. That includes schools, parents, employers, Wall Street, the recording industry, the people who do television news. And governments. The nation state is the most exposed, because it¹s the most removed from most people¹s actual lives. You have to ask yourself, what does the nation state do that most people want? Outside of your mother¹s Social Security, what does it do that you¹d be willing to pay for? It¹s not a whole lot compared with what local government doesor compared with what¹s happening in cyberspace.

Hold the muster
Arrived in Vancouver just in time to miss the cocktail party, but with plenty of time left to walk a half mile or from the waterfront to the Shanghai Palace Restaurant, which was terrific and highly recommended. Can't say the same for the Churrascuro, the Brazilian place downstairs where we went for drinks while waiting for a table at the Shanghai. The bar service was slow and the martini was terrible. Loved the local beer, though.
Now we're planning ways to kill the few hours before we muster for the boat. Should be easy. Vancouver is a terrific city.
