News.Com: "Instant messaging company Jabber on Monday said it secured a $7.2 million investment from Intel Capital." 

NY Times: "Fears about a new respiratory disease deepened considerably today as all [Hong Kong] public hospitals reduced non-essential services, workers and students were told to stay home if they felt at all ill and one of the two top officials handling the outbreak was himself hospitalized." 

Donna Wentworth is blogging the ILAW conference in Rio. 

Michael Winser wants to hire a journalist.  

A picture named editorial.jpgJon Udell: "Data moves from a SOAP service in Radio UserLand, through an auto-generated WSDL wrapper, into a database stored procedure, which calls out to the Web through a C# extension and stores results in an indexed XML database. Then an XPath-enabled SQL query gathers results, converts them to XML, and virtualizes them as a WebDAV resource, which Excel finally reads and analyzes." 

Dan Bricklin's pics from Sunday at PC Forum. 

Lance Knobel: "Embedding reporters might be merely a recognition of the reality that much of the reporting media has already embedded the coalition's assumptions into its work." 

Interesting stuff on John Robb's weblog this morning. He says that Iraq could have taken Saudi Arabia in the last war, and their failure to do so led to their defeat. John also says that we don't have enough manpower in Iraq to control the country.  

Karlin Lillington tells the story of a UK reporter in Iraq who is not embedded, and therefore "can say what she wants and is not restricted by the military." 

"There are people dying in Iraq, said Peter O'Toole, backstage at the Oscars. "I'm an entertainer. My job is to cheer them up. If I can." 

One year ago today, a text editing cheat sheet for Radio.
