DaveNet: Chris Lydon's weblog for the ears

Today's song: "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant." 

BloggerCon egg.I just got the artwork for the BloggerCon invite from Bryan. The front looks so awesome I can't believe how cool it looks. Of course now I see I have a bunch of work to do on the text for the back. It's supposed to be loose, but not that loose. Heh. Also, to be sure you get an invite, sign up for membership on the BloggerCon site and say Yes to receiving bulletins. That's a guaranteed way to get an invite. 

Slate: Could a Hacker Steal the 2004 Election? 

RSS Magic for .NET "provides developers an easy way to download, read, write, and manipulate RSS data." 

Don Park: "I consider XHTML to be the centerfold geeks are masturbating to. I am a geek too and find XHTML to be sexy enough to ogle. But I don't expect it to cook my dinner nor raise my children." 

Thursday night meeting at Berkman starts in -1 minutes. 

All day today all everyone wanted to know -- what happened to Halley, what happened to Halley. Well who knows but Hal, but at least the girl is back online. No new comments. The world waits, with baited breath. 

On this day two years ago O'Reilly Associates lost one of its own to a heart attack. Sad day. Life is precious. Honor it always. 

Jenny: "I can't print most of the adjectives I'm using in my mind to describe these weasels for fear of blocking my site from library terminals that are being forced to filter content." 

Dan Gillmor: "Erica Derr, a North Carolina woman, has donated her $400 tax rebate to the Howard Dean presidential campaign." 

Josh Marshall, one of the BloggerCon presenters, is looking for an intern to help with his weblog.  

Chris Lydon interviews the Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds. 

Inc Magazine has a new RSS 2.0 feed

Custom RSS feeds from Adrian Holvaty. 

John Robb: "While I appreciate what Dean has been able to do with the Web, my gut is telling me that in five years, Karl Rove and the Republican political machine will turn this same collection of technologies into something to be feared." 

Computerworld: "A Rolling Stones concert today in Toronto will be made possible in part thanks to wireless technologies, according to Todd Griffith, IT specialist for the band." 

Schpiels like this make Larry Lessig one of my heroes. And it's curious that Stanford made him move his site off campus because a Presidential candidate was a guest. Would they invite a candidate to speak in a Stanford auditorium? Would people understand that there's no endorsement implied or would there be? What if the offer were made on equal terms to all candidates, would that make a difference? 

On this day three years ago: "A lot of people assume we're rolling in dough, and we're not. That's one of the reasons I like that the music industry is bringing money into the discussion."
