With the recent proliferation of camera phones and hiptops, I
figured it was only a matter of time before slick tools came out to
support them. I've heard about all sorts of home-brew solutions, but
pop2blog looks like the
first generic mobblog solution, and it seems general enough to work
with camera phones and plain email as well.
It's interesting that the integration of blogging tools with email
services is just happening now, when many blog authors and app
developers are getting devices that rely on email for getting messages
and photos out. For at least the past two years, I've often
encountered people new to weblogs, but experts in computing and the
internet ask for email-to-blog functionality in all their tools. This
is especially true in the business world, where email has been a
mainstay, and blogging is nascent. And for some people, email
is their preferred interface for all online
transactions, and they're surprised when they hear that built-in
support for email-to-blog posting is almost entirely nonexistent.
I know that bridging the protocols and standards between email and
web-based blog applications isn't the easiest thing to accomplish, but
why weren't developers listening to their users for the past couple
years?
Should a doctor be able to refuse to help patients?
Should a doctor be able to refuse to help patients?09/17/2004 10:22 PM Conscience Clauses and Health Care --"Yes, we need
to respect individual freedom of religion. But at what point does it
cross the line of not providing essential medical care? At what point
is it malpractice?" she asked. "If someone's beliefs
interfere with practicing their profession, perhaps they should do
something else."
The Protection of Conscience Project feels differently:
Protection of Conscience Laws are needed because powerful interests
are inclined to force health care workers and others to participate,
directly or indirectly, in morally controversial procedures, while
NARAL says:... Many of these clauses go far beyond respecting individuals'
beliefs to the point of harming women by not providing them with full
information or access to medical treatment. Medicine, not ideology,
should determine medical decisions.

"Neil Noesen, a relief pharmacist at the Kmart in Menomonie,
Wis., was the only person on duty one day in 2002 when a woman came in
to refill her prescription for the contraceptive Loestrin FE.
According to a complaint filed by the Wisconsin department of
regulation and licensing, Noesen refused because of his religious
opposition to birth control. He also declined to transfer the
prescription to a nearby pharmacy and refused once again when the
woman returned to the store with police...."
'Regardless of downloading experience, American Internet users aged
12 and older stated an acceptable price range of $9.99 to $14.99 for a
new, full-length physical CD release. In contrast, the acceptable
price range for a digitally distributed, full-length album download is
only between $5.00 and $9.99 – roughly $5.00 less than for a
physical CD. These findings are based on recent interviews conducted
with a representative U.S. sample of 488 Internet users aged 12 and
over.
'A roughly $5.00 decrease in the range of acceptable prices for a
new, full length album distributed digitally versus in a physical
format represents a significant decrease in perceived value for this
product based solely on format or distribution method,' stated Matt
Kleinschmit, a director of research at Ipsos-Insight, and the
study’s author.' " [Furdlog]

THE WEDDINGS GO ON /DAY IN COURT: Judges refuse immediate halt to same-sex marriages
I heard Johnson
interviewed on Episode II, War And Conflict In The Post-Cold War,
Post-9/11 Era of The Whole Wide World
The Cold War and its central conflict - the physical and
ideological battles between the United States, the Soviet Union and
their proxy states - imposed a certain logic and consistency on the
world. Take that away and add the bloody wars in the Balkans, Africa
and the Middle East in the ‘90s as well as the terror attacks and
warnings of more recent times and you get a very confused picture of a
world at war. Is this breaking storm in Iraq about oil, democracy,
freedom, empire, culture, water, diamonds, modernizing Islam or nation
building in the Middle East? Some, one or all of these
things?
It was an excellent program and well worth your
listen, either by RA now or mp3 later. (From listening to the
radio)

Post It!08/28/2004 04:25 AM Sitting up late, chatting with Sifry about his DNC stories and
conventions and how to cover them and wondering if the real RNC story
might be outside
the building, and reading the latest on war videography from a moonlight
ing Salam Pax. My personal bet is that New York will be noisy but
nonviolent, both the demonstrators and the cops have too much to lose
by being scary on TV. Still, I bet there’s some first-rate theater
in the streets. So, here’s an idea. Go to Manhattan. Get yourself
a high-end PowerBook laptop with a bunch of batteries and a FireWire
and USB ports and enough WiFi service provider accounts that you’re
always online... then, print up a sandwich board that says Your
Pictures And Movies... On The Web Now! and walk around, and then,
if something happens, it won’t be film at eleven, it’ll be right
now.
