Did Brett Glass find the "killer clause"? 

Gwénaël Le Dréan has translated our DocServer site to French. Voila! 

If this story is true, the US government has some explaining to do. "I was targeted because the Green Party USA opposes the bombing of innocent civilians in Afghanistan." 

If this story is true, AOL has some explaining to do. "Why on earth I would want to give anything at AOL trusted status, I don't know." 

LiveJournal is adding RSS support. Bravo! 

Derek Powazek's Design For Community site also has an RSS feed. Nice. 

The SXSW Iron Webmaster Showdown "invites teams of new media developers to quickly add significant personality and pizzazz to a pre-formatted URL while working in front of a lively audience of their peers. All teams will start with the same raw text and graphics and have access to the same hardware and software tools; using these materials, their task is to revise, reconstruct, re-mix, re-purpose and reformat the content and design into a more exciting whole in the space of 90 minutes." Why the same tools? That takes all the fun out of it. I'd like to participate, with Manila and Bryan Bell, just the three of us. We'd cream the ones doing hand-coded sites.  

John Robb takes this idea to its logical conclusion. Adam, let's get it on TV. Let's get down. 

Now that we've completed the corner-turn in Weblogs.Com, I miss the old blogs that aren't pinging us yet. So I did a little work this morning to turn the lights back on. In the process I published some data that my desktop machine has been accumulating through 2001. I'm linking to all that stuff from a one-day-blog using new notetaking techniques. Lots of new stuff coming online now. I like it. 

Interesting discussions going on behind the scenes in WebServicesLand. There's great motion now. Much of it NDA'd. I'm pushing the BDG once again. Keep it simple and let a thousand flowers bloom. Don't ask what the Internet can do for you. Etc. 

Wired: "The Beltway's chattering classes took a break Friday from anthrax scares and Afghanistan bombing to focus on the Microsoft antitrust suit once more." 

Seattle Times: "While elected officials and Microsoft reacted favorably to the tentative settlement announced yesterday, the Redmond software company's competitors called it a bad deal for them and for consumers."
