LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS WANTS THIS BUSINESS
They are committed to attracting the 300 largest bandwidth customers
to their end-to-end IP network. Yep, not a circuit switch in the entire 16,000 miles! The legacy phone companies must do an honest appraisal of the make-versus-buy economics and timing.
Verizon begins shift to packet-based voice calls. Switching architecture change is first in 30 years [InfoWorld: Top News]

CONGRATS AND THANKS FOR THE LINK TO THE "HOW TO"
Reading this article at Business 2.0 about basic techniques for rising through the ranks at Google got me to check my various rankings, and hey, for the first time ever, I'm the number one Dave at Google. Neat. Theory about why. When I took my leave a couple of weeks ago, lots of people pointed to me by name, driving me past Dave at Bungi.Com, who was previously untouchable in the top spot.

WHICH IS WORSE?
A good NR essay with a mediocre commentary!
A Vice President who can't spell "potato" or a Vice President who claims to have invented the Internet? Which one is more likely to make honest assessments of this country's entitlement programs?
Maybe Big Honest Al Will Be President By Then. William F. Buckley Jr. on Health Policy on National Review Online The problem is rough already, given the high cost... [Dailypundit]

ROB'S ONTO SOMETHING HERE!
Dave could help us all learn a lot (more), as he already has!
Dave has re-styled DaveNet and has talked about doing the same to Scripting News. I was checking out some Scripting News archives and I gotta say I LOVE the style of SN circa 1999! It's clean.
Dave what about going the CSS route and allowing folks to pick and choose the look of the site? That's something I'd like to do here, but quite honestly don't understand enough to pull it off. Diveintomark uses this approach as well as Zeldman. It's a nice thing from a usability standpoint. [Rob Fahrni, at the core.]

SHOWING MY IGNORANCE
What's the difference between a VPN and an Intranet?
Paolo is covering Intranets. What are the big picture differences between intranets and VPN's?
I'm writing something about how Intranets are developing, and I made a few drawings to better illustrate the concept. Maybe somebody is interested... [Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog]

JOE HAS DONE IT
The question is which notebook PC did he pick?
This changes everything. At home I just got the new laptop up and running with the new wireless access point. Was able to sit on the couch and surf the internet. It definitely has that 'this changes everything' feel to it. [Bitworking]

LANDING SOON
Balloon's designer mentioned
Balloonist Fossett in Final Dash. This time around for Steve Fossett, there has been plenty of fuel, no rogue nations to avoid and enough spare oxygen to keep the American adventurer on track in his bid to become the first solo balloonist to circle the globe. [AP World News]
