Robert Barksdale gets it. It's a bootstrap. A bit of a Hail Mary. It's like Peter Pan. If you believe in it, it happens. If you doubt, it doesn't.  [Scripting News] 5:38:45 PM

New reality show features Ozzy Osbourne. Oz and his family will be the focus of a new MTV reality series, "The Osbournes," set to debut March 5. The weekly show will follow the family -- including his wife/manager, Sharon, and teenage children Jack and Kelly -- for six months. The Osbournes gave MTV virtually unlimited access into their lives, as cameras followed them around wherever they went. Been there, Done that. [Adam Curry: CurryDotCom] 5:30:43 PM

Zeldman: "Our stupid industry pitifully undervalues good web writing." And the Bird flips back at Zeldman. Some days the Web is so damned realtime and 1.0. Then Simon Fell supports my assertion (below) that nothing works and Seth Dillingham wonders how Radio can possibly work.  [Scripting News] 5:25:43 PM

iLuxo Jr.. Someone's gone and made the iMac ad everyone wants to see. [Adam Curry: CurryDotCom] 5:24:08 PM

Just why AOL is in negtiations to purchase Linux "packager" Red Hat? The reason I liked AOL when they started (as Vienna Online, I believe) was that their floppies made my computer useful. With AOL I got communities, content, instant messaging and I got mail. If AOL/Time Warner feels they need to be an OS company then I presume content is a dead horse, Sell your stock, last one out turns off the lights. Perhaps there is confusion between an OS and a platform. AOL should bundle a productivity product like Radio with their existing hosting business and sell 'default' RSS xml feeds to their installed base of advertisers. Now that would be an interesting platform! Earth to Bob Pittman, get your ass out of Round Hill and consider changing the battlefield. [Adam Curry: CurryDotCom] 11:41:48 AM
