George Harrison dead at 58. BBC, AP, MSNBC, NYT

Today's song: "All things must pass." 

Lots of Harrison links and pics on today's BookNotes

Drop the SOAP 1.0, "A bunch of simple AppleScripts for Mac OS X 10.1 and higher that use SOAP/XML-RPC web services." 

InfoWorld: Intel Hops in the Trunk

Maybe they want to hop into one of these too. 

Oh the power of weblogs. Entertainment Weekly ran a poll of most popular actors, and Wil Wheaton, who played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek (not to be confused with Wesley Felter), was a top vote-getter. Why? He's got a blog, of course. And if you haven't heard yet, so does Ru Paul. Who's next?  

AP: "A senior Republican senator and frequent Microsoft critic has asked the Justice Department detailed questions about the government's antitrust settlement with the software giant." 

Internet.Com: "A Judge for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California Friday sided with bondholders of Excite@Home, forcing the company to block service to some 4.1 million users worldwide." 

Bill Gates has done it all, now that he's been Scobelized

Harrumph: "Really clean people bathe." 

Evan Williams has had it with Exodus. 

It's a relief to find out that Dori does not have cancer.  

Kevin Altis: Videogame consoles are the PC of the future

The Yaysoft weblog directory is getting new features all the time. Nice work. 

Jihaddict: "A Skewed View of the War on Terrorism." 

Russell Letson: Taxonomies Put Content in Context

NY Times: Deal for Exodus Said to Be Near

I'm getting sick. Cough, runny nose, sneezing, aches and pains. I'm going to work anyway, but I would be surprised if my thinking is very clear today. Drinking coffee. 

Fixing bugs and testing Weblogs.Com. There was some breakage in the last few iterations. Serves me right for thinking it's "easy" to improve a deployed app. It never is. 

Would someone like to manage a directory of apps that are not open source and do not come from Microsoft? (Some have sent mail asking how to do it. Put up a web page and list all the products that are not open source and do not come from Microsoft. Categorize. Link to their sites so people can find out more. This is invisible software, to many. The list will be huge. Like this or this.)
