Update: This just might be bigger news however. More in Metafilter.
You should subscribe to The Atlantic. The current issue features a frightening article by Richard Clarke (yes that Richard Clarke) that is a fictional write up looking back on the next ten years. Much of it based on what would happen if we attack Iran. Scary stuff.
With all the talk about blogging ethics going on, this is timely. Read it.
“…the less something you link to has the stamp of official authority, the more you’ve taken responsibility for it. That is, if I link to the paper of record, then I own the responsibility for it 10% and they own it 90%. But, if I link to “some person on the internets somewhere” who has no established institutional credibility (or lack of) then I own it 95%. In other words, the less likely it is that anyone would have heard about something without my bringing it to their attention, the more I’ve taken the responsibility for verifying the information.”

Yep. And what you say in your link text counts too. Just one of the reasons that power laws (Clay Shirky) do exit on the web. No matter what you might believe.
Conversation at Russell Beattie‘s and at Ed Cone‘s.
Hmmmmm… I think I need to write some posting guidelines at PF.
Blogging while watching game…
I’m not gonna make any predictions… because I don’t want to jinx my team. But I know all of Philly has been looking forward to today. A real game. And it’s going to be a heart pounder. Go Eagles!
For me, it’s playing my guitar, or playing Jedi Knight Academy online, but back in the day there was a game on the Mac called Marathon that I loved. Now I can download it and its entire series for free. Thanks Bungie. You rock.

I’ll stick by with what I said. I’ll add that the timing of this is real unfortunate because it is distracting folks from something that occured that used your money for an illegal purpose.
I despise folks that attempt to make people look bad for their political gain.
My personal posting has decreased as work on Philly Future has increased. I’ve been expecting that to occur sooner or later. Apologies. We’ll see what happens as more help comes on board (help – editors and fellow developers wanted!).
There’s lots of interesting things going on in the world.
Later this weekend I’ll be sure to do some kind of link dump 😉
Almost a double post of what I put here earlier… except I document a few people and organizations I’ve been contacting.
Remember – there is never any harm in asking for advice. That is, of course, if you happen to ask advice from someone that means you some kind of ill. And then there’s rejection… which sucks…
But nothing, absolutely nothing – is worst than not trying.
You gotta keep on knocking on doors.
