I want some more cool sexy stuff for my iPaq.  I have the keyboard now.  What’s next?  Census Bureau Wants 500,000 Handhelds in 2010 [Slashdot]

I am tired of hearing about this.  One of the downsides of living in Boston.  The Faithful and their Faith. In the wake of pedophilia scandals, churchgoers are demanding change from the Catholic Church. [New York Times: National]

Digital Music has, and will, change everything.  Watching the music industry attempt to hang on reminds me of the last days of the British Empire.  Business Week, of all places, has a clear-headed analysis of the dead-end that the music industry has driven itself into.   [Scripting News]

Yawn.  It’s time for bed.  Turn down the air conditioner, go crawl to a warm breast 🙂

Sexy.  Sun’s New Workstations and Graphics Cards [Slashdot]

Perhaps I can host my own Radio Weblog? Hmm..   Babycrazy.  New e-zine weblog built in Radio on babies!  Excellent. I love it when personal publishers can build a high quality e-zine for $39.95   Note: they FTP their Radio site to their own host location (I mention this because some people don’t think you can do that with Radio.  It’s easy, just go into the preferences section of Radio and select the FTP option).

My dream is to see e-zine weblogs on every microtopic.  In personal publishing: Focus = Value [John Robb’s Radio Weblog]

Perhaps I should give this another whirl.  If you are not using the Google toolbar in your browser, get it.  One of the best items on it is the PageRank meter.  It provides immediate info on how well your site is doing in authority (as determined by cross linking and clicks on Google returns).  When you pass your mouse over it, a number will be displayed.  However, more granular info is available via green bar under the word: P-a-g-e-R-a-n-k.  The scale looks like it is logarithmic.  That means that each number in authority, or letter in the visual display, is ten times more authoritative than the one previous.  For example, my site is a full “R” or ten times more authoritative than a full “e” my site was rated three months ago.  Very cool.  [John Robb’s Radio Weblog]
