Dave: One of the subjects we talked about last night are rules for an academic institution about weblogs run by students, faculty, staff, alumni, etc. MIT has some rules. It's a good place to begin the discussion. Frank Field wrote about last night's session last night and today, and Derek Slater comments. Aaron Johnson also blogged last night's event. In his email he expresses a hope that we'll do it again. We will. I want to do one a month as long as I'm affiliated with the university. Dan Bricklin has pics of last night's meet. Dan Cederholm comments on last night's live session. [Scripting News] 6:57:42 AM    comment []

Not Condoleezza Don't know how or where they archive these, but for today, at least, the New York Times carries this correction: Because of an editing error, a front-page article yesterday about diplomatic developments in the Iraq crisis misidentified the Bush administration official who said about the weapons inspectors in Iraq, "At some point it will become obvious that it's time for them to go." It was an administration official speaking on condition of anonymity, not Condoleezza Rice, President Bush's national security adviser. (Thanks to Eric in Slate's "Today's Papers," who notes: Too late ...!) 6:40:59 AM    comment []
