The best movie so far this year, taken from a cab speeding down Memorial Drive in Cambridge. I love the way it ends. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named ohYeahhhhSmall.gifIf all goes well, the OPML Editor will be available publicly on Monday. I fixed a couple of important bugs today, one involved rewriting the startup process, which was horribly wrong. I had to take the time to understand the issues, and now I just can't break it and so far neither have any of the testers been able to. I'm very excited about this release, it's the first time I did roadshows before a release. You could say it's an international rollout, and you'd be right. I was careful to explain in the Terms of Service that it's all for evaluation purposes, and I'll note here that the back end will be GPL'd too, so people will have choice about where to serve their OPML. So we're about to get an upgrade in the part of the web we use. That doesn't happen every day, not even every year.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Out on a walk this morning, absolutely gorgeous weather, in the low 70s, and cloudless, as I was passing by Parliament on Wellington Street, a huge number of people were converging on the lawn in front of the hall. I took a detour and watched the soldiers on parade, it was quite a spectacle, so of course I took some pictures and shot a moviePermanent link to this item in the archive.

Apparently the ceremony I saw is called The Changing Of The Guard. As I was watching it, I was imagining the kinds of battles these soldiers were preparing for. Watch the movie and give it some thought.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Google upgraded their mapping app with a new "Hybrid" view. I noticed it when I was looking for a way to point to the lawn in front of Parliament. Pretty neat. Here's a screen shotPermanent link to this item in the archive.

Scott Rosenberg on Elections Have Consequences. There's no doubt that John Roberts, the President's nominee for the Supreme Court, will decide against Roe v Wade. All I need to know is that the conservatives aren't expressing concern. I agree with everything Scott says, and go a bit further. I haven't forgotten that the Supreme Court gave Bush the Presidency in 2000. It was a coin toss election. When Bush started governing as if he had won, well that's when the trouble started.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
