Bush budget proposes IT spending boost. The Bush administration's proposed 2003 federal budget includes a 16 percent spending increase on information technology--a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy tech spending environment. [CNET News.com]

>While all the hooplah has been going on about Web Services I've been thinking to myself (and sometimes I've shared these thoughts with you) -- Couldn't this stuff be a lot simpler? I mean really, before most people even understand what we're talking about, they're piling on an alphabet soup of confusing stuff that blows most peoples brains back to JavaScript and programming in the confined spaces of a Web browser, when the whole Internet is waiting for them.

>But I was patient. First we had to get Radio 8 out. Then we had to get some users. They needed to get to know each other and establish relationships (this is called blogrolling). Once all that had happened, then and only then could I explain Web Services in a way that would make sense to people. [Scripting News] comments < 6:43:44 PM

>Wireless Week writes about wireless blogs: yours truly and this blog are nicely mentioned (although it's actually the Bluetooth blog I noticed first and which inspired me). The article also addresses the larger issue of the utility of blogging wirelessly, including via SMS. As the gateways, APIs, and mechanisms continue to interlock and interoperate, we'll soon be able to blog via practically any electronic mechanism. [80211b News]comments < 6:42:50 PM
>Wow. Check this out. Time to download Radio via my slow DSL connection: 45 seconds. Time to install Radio and make my first post on my fast 1 GHz machine: 35 seconds. Time to read and build my first Web Service: 180 seconds. Time to post my first Web Service: 25 seconds. Wow. Now all I need is a tool page with common Web Services offered so I can post them into Radio's editing page after I set the parameters. That would make it a virtually painless (it already is) process for newbies and nonprogrammers. From a corporate perspective, this makes it easy to offer end-users an array of corporate Web Services that they can quickly utilize to broadcast information/knowledge to the Intranet. For example: a Web Service that lets me run a sales report by product. I could use a drop down to select the product name, put the dates in and generate the report. Further, I could then post the report with annotation to my Weblog. Very cool. [John Robb's Radio Weblog] comments < 6:42:36 PM
