The Associated Press reports in today’s Boston Globe that Hamas has secretly appointed a new leader.
Israel assassinated Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi in a missile strike on his car on Saturday, part of its declared campaign to wipe out the Islamic militant group’s leadership ahead of a planned Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Two of Rantisi’s bodyguards were also killed in the attack.
Chickens.
If you’re scared, say you’re scared.

I found out yesterday at John Perry Barlow’s impromptu “Emotional Life of a Weblog” session that Scripting News pisses people off sometimes. I found this surprising. Hehe. Sorry.
From Scripting News
Link to the wiki for the Blogging as a Business session earlier today at BloggerCon,
I was the backup session monitor for this one, but since Jessica showed up, I moved over to John Perry Barlow’s presentation on “The Emotional Life of Weblogs”
The closing session with Dave Winer leading the discussion.
Do we need a bloggercon community that lives on? Do we need a trade association?
I think the question today for me is did we really accomplish anything today?
PubSub offered to sponsor a BloggerCon in NYC…
Joey: “you’re making the mistaken assumption that I have shame….”
JPB: “I thought again that it brought alot of heart to cyberspace… blogging makes it safer and safer to be a human being…”
Dave Winer: “I learned that I piss people off sometimes…”
Some interesting side conversations going on while this is wrapping up – more about that later on…
Mobblogging – is this really important? Lots of discussions here about that – had some live demonstrations on mobblogging from Amy Langfield and others.
That’s it for now, probably some wrapup comments later tonight when I get back home
