XcelleNet - a company I'd work for!
Long before this company was acquired and ultimately sold by Sterling Commerce, I visited a couple of companies that were using the flagship product called RemoteWare. Never before had I seen a piece of technology as well thought out for its application. This dates back to the early or mid 90's. Now private again and under the leadership of Joan Herbig, XcelleNet appears to have a very bright future.

More News?
I've enjoyed the New York Times partnership with Userland. Now I'm ready for more. Where's The Wall Street Journal? Neil Budde seems like the type of guy who would jump at the chance. How about Forbes?

The Power of Media Ownership
Sue Herera of CNBC and Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of GE, owner of CNBC had a fine chat this afternoon. The chat provided a forum in which GE could refute the points made in yesterday's New York Times article.
This came on the heels of today's announcement by GE. The stock closed below $32 a share and has lost around 20% in the past couple of weeks.

A Simple HTML Question?
Saturday, I posted A Page of Google Boxes. Originally, I wanted these to appear in an arrangement that was 3 or 4 wide on the page and a 'page-down' would yield another 3 or 4. How do I stop this from stringing these boxes down the page and how do I adjust the type size, font and width of each Google box? Thanks, web design/HTML gurus.
If you want to know how to make a Google Box with only 5 items, take a look at the comments for this post.

Andy Sylvester's back in the game!
Andy Sylvester has been "gone" for a while. Saturday marked his return. I'm counting on his work and Russ's work to get me beyond this mental block I have in knowing where and what to edit to change the look of my weblog to a custom look. If I simply go get one of the other themes, I'm still locked into a canned theme.
I don't know how to create a template from scratch that makes certain all the pieces of a Radio weblog appear and appear where I want them. It's looking more and more like my checkbook and a good designer (like A, B or C) are going to get together! The designers I link to are merely examples; none of them have been approached, but I like their design work.
Russ's topics today are:

Getting out of the rat race!
Have you ever wondered what we'd do next if somehow by "magic" everything we're working on suddenly worked exactly as we imagined it should? If every portable device provided just the functionality we want; if just the right world conditions materialized; if all was well, what would you learn or work on next? If chasing the almighty dollar wasn't a motive; if keeping up with whomever was no longer important; if doing something that was personally rewarding or benefitted another was all that mattered, what would you do?

Telecom Shakeout Continues
A Fiber Pioneer Restructures. Flag Telecom, one of the firms that helped spark the fiber-optic building boom of the late 1990s, files for bankruptcy protection after missing debt payments. By Joanna Glasner. [Wired News]
If you haven't read Neal Stephenson's article about "the longest wire on Earth," you should. Though it dates back to December of 1996, it is timely still because of the cost and time required to lay a transoceanic cable. This article is over 50 pages long, but it remains one of the most educational pieces that Wired has ever published. If you have any interest whatsoever in how we move data around the globe, this is worth your time.
