Further blurring the lines between blogging and J/journalism. Not that that line really matters. I guess I'm vaguely curious, in a detached sort of way. Kind of like I am with most professional sports. Actually, with most sports (Tour de France and the Olympics excepted). "It's official, so now I can finally link to it. I'm a freelance blogger now since the Spartanburg Herald-Journal (in South Carolina) is syndicating some of my content to a blog on their site. Radio makes this obscenely easy on my end, and over at GoUpstate.com I'll be known as the Tech Goddess. Here's the press release." [The Shifted Librarian]

Could terrorism result in a constitutional dictator? I ran into this interesting link on a couple weblogs this week, and thought it would make for an interesting kuro5hin discussion. A columnist for CNN's Findlaw section wrote a piece about the possibility of a constitutional dictatorship in the wake of more terrorism. Could George W. Bush follow in the footsteps of past Presidents like Lincoln and FDR and circumvent the legislature in an attempt to secure order?" [kuro5hin.org]
Ai yi yi. The mind boggles, the body twitches at the notion of the Republican cabal in such a position.

David Letterman. "Sometimes when you look in his eyes you get the feeling that someone else is driving." [Quotes of the Day]
I'm not sure who Dave was referring to. As I think about it, it could be a long list.

"Who Will Be My Neighbor?
Real Neighborhoods?
"Seeing the recent activity surrounding sites and their link-related neighborhoods, I'm compelled to get out my own horn and make a little noise.
Since last Fall I've been talking about putting *real* locations on feeds. Ones based on genuine latitude and longitude values. To that end, the Syndic8 database does support a feed presenting it's own lat/long and other location metadata.
There's a help document that describes this idea over at: http://www.syndic8.com/help_metadata.php
Basically you stuff some meta tags into your HTML page and the database will come get it. Right now a listing based on server NetGeo locations can be searched at: http://www.syndic8.com/locate.php
Yeah, it's crude and lacks the whizzy map everyone would like to see. But I've been a bit too busy (distracted?) to get the last bits of it completed.
What you can do, meanwhile, is add the metadata to your HTML and mark the feed for it as having scrapable metadata." [Syndication News from Bill Kearney] A very cool idea, one that ties in perfectly with the previous post. I'm going to try to add these tags to my site in the near future, and I'd like to encourage the other Prairie bloggers to do the same. :-)" [The Shifted Librarian]
You would think with as much GPS work as Audrey and I have done, we would know the lat/lon of our house. That's ok, it can be easilly remidied and put in the meta info...
