July 22, 2009 – The poll results make sense if you see blogging as a part of the social web culture, where personalization and self expression are as important to most users as core functionality is.

July 20, 2009 – Good idea here, too many writers/bloggers are getting sucked into the “it’s all about me” trap, especially if they engage in social media networks. Sometimes it’s better to make it just about the project, venue and writing.
July 20, 2009 – It would be easy to poke a witty comment about this story and the RNC, but really it’s just sad… how sad they’ve become. As a believer in the idea that multiple strong parties makes for a stronger nation, I long for something to respect from the party of Lincoln.

July 16, 2009 – Commercial Open Source is a best of both worlds for programmers, cubicle or freelance–and for end users. Why it has taken so long to gain ground astonishes me, but I see it as a major growth area for opportunities to coders and entrepreneurs in the coming years.
