NY Times: "President Bush is off to the worst start of any president in 75 years as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 index."  Yet another Bloggers vs Journalists story. What a mess. Sam Ruby has been pondering the philosophies of SOAP and REST. I appreciate the effort he and others are putting into this. On Friday I spoke with the people at Amazon who did their Web Services stuff. I said they did a Good Thing by giving the REST folk what they wanted, and also giving the SOAP folk what they wanted. The actual interfaces matter not one bit. The goal is to enable developers to build apps on your services. If a significant number of developers want you to use a cottage cheese and chicken fat interface, I say go for it. Paolo writes about Apple immigrants. "These people were true Mac nerds, but for some reason switching to Windows they didn't become Windows nerds but simply Windows users." Attsa me, Dave Winer. I use Windows, exactly as I used to use a Mac. I resigned as a Mac user, not over Amelio, as Paolo says, but over the religion. I like using a computer just as a computer. Apple could have kept me, if they had embraced the standards of the Web. Instead they tried to get the Web to balkanize over QuickTime, Cyberdog and OpenDoc. Yuck. I went with the mainstream. Apple's proposition was more slavery, the Web offered an enticing freedom, for a while, until Microsoft killed Netscape. Oh well. It's too much trouble to learn a new OS now. Why bother. Wapblogger is a "WAP interface to popular weblog tools." It should work with Radio and Manila, both of which support the Blogger API. I got another great gift yesterday, the first season of The Sopranos on DVD. I watched the first four episodes yesterday. It's all new content for me. Great stuff. |
