Mirandala's thoughts on the bad news about Buffy. I agree that it's better to turn out (the lights) than rust away, but still... I don't really watch much TV, but I've almost always had one can't miss show. Hill Street Blues, Star Trek NG, Cheers (yeah, I admit it), Xena, and for the last seven years, Buffy. What's next? Six Feet Under? Curb Your Enthusiasm? 12:27:51 PM | permalink | Bare your teeth [] |

MrG: Obstacles to Business Journaling
"In the personal blog space, we all have equal power, but in the business space, we do not. In the wilderness of the blog, I can criticize Cory or Doc, they could criticize me (if they knew I existed ;) and it's all taken with a grain of good fun and fair play, even where the warbloggers get bitter and vicious. No one has any control over anyone else, we all speak from a relatively safe distance... In a business, this is not the case. A manager can have you fired for comments even, as Dive Into Mark notes (I think it was Mark), the simple admission that once-upon-a-time you had a problem." I complete agree, Gary. If freedom of speech belongs to those who own the presses, then the majority of those in a corporate context emphatically do not own the presses. No amount of yummy RSS sauce or refried blog tools are going to change that fundamental fact. There's a Japanese saying to the effect that "the nail that sticks up gets hammered down". Substitute blog for nail and you get the idea. Over time, all organizations develop a cultural immune system that seeks, first and foremost, to protect the status quo. This immune system doesn't take kindly to viruses of any kind, whether or not they might ultimately be beneficial. 10:34:39 AM | permalink | Bare your teeth [] |

Wired:
Net Gurus Rally Anti-Spam Forces
"The Internet Research Task Force forms a new offshoot whose sole goal is to document the magnitude of the junk e-mail problem -- and do what it takes to fix it"
I say skip the "document the magnitude" bit and get right to the "what it takes to fix it" step. I'm running about 75% spam most days, although my OS X Mail program identifies and trashes most of it. Maybe Hans Blix should look for evidence that Iraq is responsible for spam? The Axis of Spam! Now that might swing public opinion over to the pro-invasion camp. 9:55:34 AM | permalink | Bare your teeth [] |
