VCP#4 One more and we build the new category for you! Ballet Theater: Signs of Promise Amid Struggle. After a financially trying two years, could Ballet Theater be heading for fiscal and spiritual health? Apparently not just yet. By Robin Pogrebin. [New York Times: Arts] 7:40:34 PM     Comments[]

STRONG FEELINGS AMY WELBORN defends C.S. Lewis. My daughter and I read all the way through the Narnia books this year. I loved them when I was a kid, and they're even better as an adult. Anybody who savages Lewis is an idiot, as far as I'm concerned. [InstaPundit] 7:35:41 PM     Comments[]

I'M NOT ON ANY OF THESE RADAR SCREENS Based upon a post I read yesterday, one must either be smart to "do software" or "do software" to be smart. I'm in the process of deciding which way I want to go! Neighborhoods: Jon Udell, Jake Savin, Dave Winer, John Robb, Steven Kroeker, Joseph Ruvel, Scott Greiff.  [Scripting News] 7:03:42 PM     Comments[]

MY FAVORITE DESIGNERS Here's a list of great web designers: Joshua Allen Gail Armstrong Jon Armstrong Rosecrans Baldwin Michael Barrish Kevin Fanning Paul Ford Kevin Guilfoile Jason Gurley Heather B. Hamilton Leslie Harpold Scott David Herman Dennis A. Mahoney Alexis Massie Magdalen Powers Tobias Seamon Andrew Womack It so happens that this is the list of designers and writers that contributed to Manual. It's my intent to develop a Radio theme that allows the style you see in many of these. So far, it seems that there is no technical reason that prevents a Radio weblog from resembling them. Clearly, it will require time, patience, and know-how. On good days I have one of those and it changes daily! 11:04:27 AM     Comments[]

ON THE MONEY John Robb has hit the nail on the head. The great concern for me is whether or not we still have the ability to identify and agree on "the most critical government functions." We may be in a situation where the disparity of government vs. private productivity will become so large that outsourcing all but the most critical government functions will be the only solution.

FOUR OUTCOMES - ALL GRIZZLY Financial arrangements at cross purposes The Memphis Grizzlies agreed to come to Memphis largely because of a new arena. This op-ed piece is written by a long-time friend and the former project manager for the effort. It is well-written and, with a few name and location changes, could probably fit any city in America that has faced the issues associated with public funding of major sports venues. Don points to four possible outcomes; none of them are ideal. 5:40:52 AM     Comments[]

CONSUMER DEBT IS AT RECORD HIGH Rising rates could pop this bubble! THE DOLLAR APPEARS to be beginning a long-expected slide. Its decline against the euro, the yen and other major currencies, which reflects wariness among foreign investors about investing in the U.S., could keep U.S. stock prices in the doldrums and put upward pressure on interest rates.

RADIO SEARCH What's the best search feature to use? I'm installing the Fluid Dynamics Search Engine right now. Its fast, configurable and local. [From the Desktop of Dane Carlson] I've installed PicoSearch using Russ Lipton's tutorial. I did this primarily beause, for now, my weblog resides on one of Userland Software's servers. My domain name there is of the form "radio.weblogs.com/usernum." It has always been my plan to move my weblog to a different host using a different domain name and with a new title. That should be quite an adventure, but I digress. When I make that switch, I've been planning to implement Google's search feature. Now I'm faced with understanding the PRO's & CON's of this new wrinkle that Dane has thrown our way. 5:05:37 AM     Comments[]

HYPOCRITES HAVE A POINT ON BROADBAND by Dan Gillmor "The technology industry's half-baked libertarians are pushing for a federal commitment to promote a worthwhile cause, near-universal broadband data connections. They're right, even if they're doing it mostly for their own benefit." [Dan Gillmor's eJournal] 4:51:18 AM     Comments[]
