Celebrating Midsummer 
Start saving
| | To the critics, we never in a million years would have thought of it until we had wasted the opportunity. Now the goal is to get back in, asap, in time to save the Net from Hollywood. The Democrats are excited about the Web, seriously excited for good reasons. They have to know that that excitement is incompatible with the idea of crippling the Web to serve the interests of some very limited thinkers in California. |
| | And get the big idea -- we are not here to replace the ink-stained Pulitzer-winners. If you like what they do, more power to you. What we represent is a populace that can think and decide for itself, without having the problems framed by Wolf, Dan, Judy, Larry, Rush and Sean. Left to grow on its own, the Internet can and will turn around politics the same way it turned around business, education and journalism. |
| | Saving the Net and the NEA goods that thrive on the Net should be a paramount concern for technologists everywhere. Those goods include Linux and every idea that's good enough to grow when it passes from one brain to another, gaining value along the way. |
| | Our work is cut out for us. Let's do it. |
| | Only this time, let's raise more than money. |
Gunning the jump
| | Forgot to set the blog's time zone back to somewhere in the U.S. (the blog still thinks it's in France), and jumped into Saturday while it's still a beautiful (Fri)day afternoon here in San Francsico, where I'll hop on another plane shortly. |
