In case you missed it, this gem appeared in the Friday Wall Street Journal in an article about the steady shift of the American economy's transactions from cash or check to plastic:

  Some Christians see the pervasive use of plastic as part of a dark biblical prophecy. Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, has said that plastic may signal the cashless society of the end times foreshadowed in the Bible. Mr. Robertson's network accepts contributions from supporters on both Visa and MasterCard.

The end times, it seems, will be financed at a low introductory APR -- but when the full rate kicks in, sinners beware!

People Getting More Comfortable With
Online News
06/02/2004 02:41 AM
It appears, not surprisingly, that a very large percentage of Americans use the internet to read news - however, many claim that it hasn't subtracted from their use of other sources of news. Of course, the most popular "news" to check online is the weather - which some may not really consider news. Still, many people do check their national news online, though they tend to stick to traditional sources (such as their ISP's home page or their local newspaper's website). Again, this shouldn't be that surprising. There is a reason the mainstream is called the mainstream. What will be more interesting, however, is how these numbers continue to change over time, and whether or not readers become more comfortable with non-traditional sources (or if their own traditional sources start including more information from other non-traditional sources) and how that changes our perception of the news.

Congrats to Roland and Boris and.....

They've just launched Bryght - a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving there.

Vancouver is hot.

Here's Roland's post....

Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this one. Yes, we are all Bryght guys :-) !

We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required, no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght site, please contact us.

Whither StreamLine you might ask? StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging platform.

Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions. Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they send email to (TO and CC) and how...

WeatherBug is NOT spyware or adware


WeatherBug is NOT spyware or adware 07/01/2004 03:35 AM
WeatherBug made it a point to explain why they do not consider themselves to be spyware nor adware. While my feelings on the matter differ, the WeatherBug rep went to great lengths to explain that he and his team are committed to the prevention of such annoyances as spyware and promises that WeatherBug will not install any on our PCs. If this is in fact true, then this is great news. Personally, I have found another product that more than meets my needs.

According to WeatherBug, their program is totally harmless. Well then that settles it! If they state this on their Web site, then it must be true! I think not. Folks, there is a lesson to be learned here folks. Just because something sounding really official on a Web site states that something is so, does not mean that it is. In my experience, WeatherBug is anything but benign….

Founded in April 1996, Alexa Internet grew out of a vision of Web navigation that is intelligent and constantly improving with the participation of its users. Alexa Related Links and Traffic Rankings are the embodiment of this vision, growing and getting better as more people join the Alexa community of smart Web surfers. Alexa could not exist without the participation of the Alexa Toolbar community. Each member of the community, in addition to getting a useful tool, is giving back. Simply by using the toolbar each member contributes valuable information about the web, how it is used, what is important and what is not. This information is returned to the community with improved Related Links, Traffic Rankings and more. This is the web in the "eyes" of ten million Alexa toolbar community. We must remember that the Internet is made up of close to one billion people now so this is just a very small snapshot....
