A picture named olympicLogoSideSmall.gifRussell Beattie imitating NBC's Olympic commentators: "Whoohoo! These games could suck worse than Atlanta's!!! Yeah! We won't be the worst any more!"  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

In the leadup to the Olympics we learned that atheletes were banned from keeping weblogs. I was thinking of going to the Olympics, I still could, but would I be allowed to publish pictures I took? Would I be able to get a press pass or would I have to pay for every event? How much would it cost? Maybe this will be the last Olympics designed around television? Not much chance of that, of course. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Electoral Vote Predictor says Kerry 327, Bush 211.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

My audio blog post for the day, riffs on Adam and The Gillmor Gangstas. Music. "Sandy, the waitress I've been seeing lost her desire for me." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A couple of corrections to today's audio blog post. First, the date at the beginning is wrong. The date at the end is correct. Second, the corporate guy on The Gillmor Gang was R0ml Lefkowitz. In my rant I appear to be saying his priorities are misplaced when his priorities are a shining example of pragmatism. I seem to have gotten confused on this point during the recording of the show, and wanted to clear that up. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Jonathan Schwartz. WNEW-FM.Listen to Adam's latest audio blog post, that's what I want. Press a function key while I'm talking to play a song. A little premeditation, perhaps. Maybe another key that allows me to choose an MP3 file to play. I'm jealous, Adam has a song of the day. I have my own idea for a song of the day, it's not so goyisher. I might play clips from The Sopranos. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Ed Cone: "By writing directly onto the web, Thigpen has the ability to communicate with a potentially enormous number of people, in his own voice, unmediated and at almost no cost." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Joshua Brauer says RSS could have saved NBC's Olympics coverage.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named clarus.gifDvorak's list of the ten most important software products of all time. My list would be different. Think C would be on the list, as would be Manila and MORE. I might have included Pointcast, it was a real eye-opener. Don't forget MacWrite and MacPaint. Director. PowerPoint and FileMaker. Notepad and Teachtext.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
