Tim Oren: "Homesick for the California flora?" Heh. In this weather, being homesick for California is rational. Walking out of a restaurant at lunch we remarked how warm it seems. "I could go for a walk in this," I exclaimed. That's how cold it's been. All bundled up, wearing long johns, two sweaters, ski parka, muffler, hat and hood -- I could only go three blocks in the sub-zero temps before the panic rises at how alarmingly uncomfortable I am. So how warm was it after lunch? 16 degrees. That's livable? Hmmm.

Rogers Cadenhead, who lives in St Augustine, Florida, where it's in the 40s (very cold for those parts) has a link to a Boston Globe article that reports that a local radio news man reports on Boston weather from his home. In Florida. That's it. I'm asking for my money back.

BloggerStorm is an aggregation of bloggers campaigning in Iowa. Very cool use of RSS. It's beautiful to see the campaign using an idea that's so ready for prime time. This is what we've been asking them to do, to let us, as technologists, participate in what they're doing. Hat's off to Matt, and the team at Dean for America. This is really fantastic.

Details from an email from Matt Gross explaining the project and how to participate if you're working in Iowa this week. "Not all of the bloggers support Howard Dean -- the idea is simply to provide a clearinghouse for in-the-trenches coverage of the caucuses as only blogs can provide."

Sebastien Paquet reports that Google has added a weblog to Google News. Now I guess when we get exclusives, like BloggerStorm above, they will deem it news worthy? They've always carried press releases, btw. This, from one of the leading weblog tool vendors, of course. Reminds me of the dead Silicon Valley platform vendor who said "We can't let just anybody develop for our platform."
