Clueless Big Media Web Sites: They don't want you to leave their site, so they don't put links to other sites on their sites. But they put URLs. That's pretty screwed up. Dave Winer has pointed out that Google has the guts to let you leave your site because they know you'll be back.

We start out for Joshua Tree tomorrow and I don't know when I'll be back to writing in my weblog. I've been at it for over a month and have grown quite addicted. I wonder if I'll survive without it :)

Perfect. Perfect. I love the idea of blogging everything, but the reality... [Deadly Bloody Serious]
Yup. I would love to write everything about myself. But I can't. I live with other people, after all.

The correct answer is David Ahl [Scripting News]
Ah yes. Creative Computing. I remember it fondly. I wonder if I still have my old issues at my parents' house.

If Dick Cheney did nothing wrong, why won't he release the transcripts of his conversations with Enron? [The Mountaintop]
And what's worse is that it isn't transcripts they want. They just want to know who Cheney met with, when they met, and the topic of conversation.

Have I mentioned that I got the OM-1 I bought on eBay. It is really a nice little camera. But there's not the instant gratification you get with a digital camera. I take a picture and then ... nothing. I have to wait to have them processed before I can see the results. Bummer.

My daughter's unicycle came today. We got her a 20". My wife has a 24". We've all been trying to ride the 24" with varying degrees of success. I'm interested to see what difference the 20" will be.

Here is Open eBook's stated relationship to CSS: This specification defines a style language based on CSS 1 and CSS 2, with a media type of "text/x-oeb1-css."

Further, a simple Google search on CSS and patents shows that Microsoft claims ownership. In what way is that an "open standard" as so many use that term for CSS? Help me understand that. Has Microsoft released all past, present and future claims on that patent? [Scripting News]
I'm really surprised by Dave's pushback on the CSS thing. I work in the ebook industry and CSS is where Open eBook is headed. The promise of HTML, I thought, was to separate form from content. But HTML by itself turns out to be very bad at doing that. CSS begins to make that possible. And the resulting markup is so much cleaner and easier to understand.

White paper on Carbon, Cocoa differences [MacNN]
Geoff finally released his white paper on the difference between Carbon and Cocoa. I think, initially, Apple led us to believe that Cocoa was the future and Carbon but a bridge. I don't know if they changed their minds or if we all were just wrong, but it looks like Carbon will be a first-class citizen of Mac OS X. I now believe there is no reason to "switch" to Cocoa.
