- Creepier than Nixon
Hahahahahaha.
From Salon.com and its feature on why Bush is creepier than Nixon. Haven’t read the story yet - might be a pile of old bilge. But, like the hopeless blogging muppet I am, I do like the picture.
Update: I’ve read it, and the piece is far from being bilge. It’s a Q&A with John Dean, [...]
- Washington Post on Microsoft and blogs
Microsoft announced at the weekend that it plans to launch a blog search, although exactly how this works (will it publish its definition of a blog, please?) is anybody’s guess. In an aside, the Washington Post (free reg required) makes a good point today:
“You know blogging is beyond the mainstream when Microsoft latches onto the [...]
- Let’s fiesta. Cha cha cha.
I was intrigued to note this comment left here earlier:
Richard MacManus has summarized Chris Lydon’s interview with Sir Tim , in which he explains the (sensible, in my opinion) idea of the fractal Web.

- One year ago today

A quote attributed to Mike Smartt, editor of BBC News Online, and published a year ago today.
It’s not quite as good as some of these, but such dismissive talk - like decent wine - [...]
- Poster tubes
Pull yourselves together (via the print version of this week’s Economist).
Posters advising Londoners not to bother their fellow passengers or - for God’s sake - hassle the cops on account of mere abandoned bags have been appearing all over the city in the last week. It’s a uniquely British attempt to restore the famous [...]
- Coates’ personality types
Tom Coates sets off on a bold effort to define personality types. Eschewing Belbin’s definitive-but-dull descriptors - completer finisher, plant, resource investigator, and so on - he comes up with his Elf/Dwarf, Pirate/Ninja axis. As he notes, correctly, his crowning achievement is the development of a graph - a visual tool vital to acceptance in [...]
- Blogging liiiiiive - from Crewe
And so to sunny Crewe (actually completely bloody freezing, and cloudy), for a weekend of Open Uni Business School strategy stuff. We’re housed in a modern conference centre/hotel/golf course affair - the kind of place they film a lot of Footballers’ Wives, or Dream Team. Very modern, all very clean, big meandering drive with perfect [...]
- Back from my holidays
With some pictures from Saalbach, Austria, home to great skiing (I’m told) and some real hardcore German hard rock nightclubs. Ahem.
