Thanks, Bloggies! BB wins best group
bl0g, and bl0g of the year!
03/14/2005 05:29 PM
Xeni Jardin: Boing Boing pal Scott Beale informs us that our blog just won Group Weblog of the Year at the Bloggies. OMG! What a huge honor! Thank you, Bloggies. We honestly didn't expect this, and we are deeply moved and grateful. There were many other deserving blogs up for awards, backed by talented folks who work very hard, and we raise our collective pirate-eye-patches in their honor: check 'em all out. On behalf of my blog-mates Cory Doctorow, Mark Frauenfelder, and David Pescovitz; our wise "band manager" John Battelle; our sysadmin par excellence Ken Snider; and the rest of the team and extended family that makes Boing Boing possible -- a humble thank you. But most of all, we are grateful to you, our readers, for wasting otherwise productive time on our collective scrapbook of "wonderful things," and for pointing us to even more of those wonderful and undiscovered things each day. We're really sorry that we couldn't make it to SXSW in person to accept the award, but we hope you'll join us in celebrating in person tomorrow at ETCON ( all five of us will be in the same place for the first time). Boing Boing sprouted online a little over five years ago, from paper zine roots planted by Mark Frauenfelder and Carla Sinclair. It is a privilege to blog for you. With you, we look forward to another adventurous year of link-discuss to come. Link

Update: Holy crap! Reader Nathaneal Heasley sez, "Not only did BB win best group ‘blog, it won “blog of the year/best weblog overall” – congratulations!" For those keeping track, this is the second year in a row Boing Boing has received these two awards: Link to 2004, Link to 2005. Man. We're speechless, and overwhelmed by your generosity.

Paddling Out to Catch the Enterprise Wave

"From the shore, they look like tiny dots slowly making their way out past the breakers. They're the software vendors positioning themselves to catch the Enterprise RSS wave. My, that's a lot of tiny dots...." [MoonWatcher]
RSS was big in 2004, but next year is going to be something else. It's killing me that I can't say more, but I know of two major library vendors that will make big announcements about RSS in 2005. It's going to be a fun year!

Proof of Life at the Top


Proof of Life at the Top 03/28/2005 08:01 PM
General James Cartwright, Commander US Strategic Command runs a k-log (an organizational weblog). A poster at Sgt. Stryker got the scoop.  He's using it to cut through red tape and bureaucracy. 

“The metric is what the person has to contribute, not the person’s rank, age, or level of experience. If they have the answer, I want the answer. When I post a question on my blog, I expect the person with the answer to post back. I do not expect the person with the answer to run it through you, your OIC, the branch chief, the exec, the Division Chief and then get the garbled answer back before he or she posts it for me. The Napoleonic Code and Netcentric Collaboration cannot exist in the same space and time. It’s YOUR job to make sure I get my answers and then if they get it wrong or they could have got it righter, then you guide them toward a better way…but do not get in their way.”

The fact that the subject was in all caps convinced us right away that they were onto something. And of course, the fact that you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement to see the proof of their latest assertion sealed the deal.

Water-Proof PSP Case


Water-Proof PSP Case 04/04/2005 08:19 AM

psp_underwater.jpgI have no idea if this water-proof case for the Sony PSP will actually ever be mass-produced, but it's not entirely as stupid as it might at first seem. There's something to be said for a hard case that lets you fire up and play for a few minutes without ever taking it out. That said, I bet the D-pad is horribly frustrating through another layer of abstracting plastic. Mostly, it just pleases me that someone made it—even if it's never actually for sale.

Simply stick a cushion on your nearest 70-pound CRT monitor and it's secure from sliding around even in the midst of an otherwise terrifying level 7 earthquake. While earthquakes aren't so much an occupational hazard for me here in Arizona, I think they might make neat (albeit hardly effective) anti-theft devices if nothing else. Plus, they're gel.
