Scripting News, the weblog started in 1997 that bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

A picture named hernandez.gifEd Cone: "A reader emails that Howard Berman is not running unopposed -- the GOP candidate for California district 28 is David R. Hernandez." 

Glenn Fleishman reviews the new Mac OS X. 

Destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology. 

I spent most of today working on a new Tara Sue website, one that will be easier for her to work on, and easier for us to help her with. As I was putting together the initial blogroll, I decided to link to Howard Coble, her opponent. I wondered how Tara would feel about it. I just walked her through the new site, and when I explained this part she literally shreiked with delight. In other words, there's an impedance match on values. Of course we point to our competitor. An informed reader would want to know about Coble. His site is part of the big picture. Gotta link to it. Makes sense, right? 

Ed Cone: "After my first column ran, Coble's chief of staff, Ed McDonald, told me on the phone, 'Now we are going to rip your face off.'" 

Coble responded to Cone's column in the print edition of the News & Record, but not on the Web. Please, please, all this stuff must be on the Web. All. Must. 

Got a couple of emails overnight from Tara Sue. She was up till 4AM working on her Web stuff. Right on. Evreyone is setting expectations really low for Tara, but not me. I think she can win. I think the voters are smart and will be able to figure this one out. I love that Coble's chief says he's going to rip Ed Cone's face off. Ed is a powerful dude. That's strong motivation. It also helps undermine the reputation Coble has for being such a nice guy. Look who he's running against. If I were him, I'd apologize right away and send Ed a case of whatever beer they drink in North Carolina. His Good Old Boy reputation could be at stake. Let's also see if Coble reads Scripting News. 

Ray Ozzie had a lawyer at Groove, Jeff Seul, draft a weblog policy for employees. 

Meanwhile, back at home, Tara Sue has been Slashdotted.
