Space...  Went to the Kennedy Space Center today - was alot of fun.  If you do, be sure to take the "Up Close" tour.  It's $20 more per person, but you get to see so much more...  8:53:52 PM     Bout time the Massachusetts courts did something that makes sense..  Slashdot | Your Rights Online - Email, a Legally Binding Contract?. [Privacy Digest] 8:53:05 PM     Which part of 'Congress shall make no law.. abridging the freedom of speech' did this legislature (mine) not understand?  Killers free speech lives: SJC finds Son of Sam bill unconstitutional. Boston Herald Mar 16 2002 3:16PM ET [Moreover - moreover...] 8:49:13 PM     Clearly a new subscription for me.  I hope Matt continues to build out this financial site.  I don't know what his background is, but it is a good idea.  High quality analysis on breaking financial news in key sectors is a perfect weblog topic.  Imagine a weblog on financial news related to a given sector (wireless vendors for example) by an industry insider.  He/she could easily dissect each press release, filing, product announcement, etc.  He/she could even provide first hand reports on how products are doing in showrooms or what the industry rumors are.  Nice.  The data could also be packaged and sold as a retail product (a PDF or Word doc).  I know of one independent Internet analyst that sold a report on Internet companies he tracked for $100.  9,500 people purchased the report.  This is a business model.  I am sure this model would work for technology topics too.  You could even use Befree to track affiliate revenue ($10 a sale) for sales generated by promotions on the sites of other webloggers. [John Robb's Radio Weblog] 8:47:29 PM     Must review.  David Brown is using Radio's blog from anywhere feature (even a BlackBerry).  To access this, make sure Radio is running and click this link:  E-mail to weblog.  This is the perfect tool for a group or personal K-Log for people that are on the move.  In this mode, Radio acts like a private Yahoo Groups tool.  The only thing it is missing is the ability to publish a summary of posts to users via e-mail.  That would require a way to put in a list of e-mail addresses (or point to a source of e-mail addresses) and the ability to set a time to send a summary (ie. midnight).  However, most people don't need more e-mail sent to them.  The group K-Log is sufficient. [John Robb's Radio Weblog] 8:46:38 PM     I want some more cool sexy stuff for my iPaq.  I have the keyboard now.  What's next?  Census Bureau Wants 500,000 Handhelds in 2010 [Slashdot] 8:43:14 PM     I am tired of hearing about this.  One of the downsides of living in Boston.  The Faithful and their Faith. In the wake of pedophilia scandals, churchgoers are demanding change from the Catholic Church. [New York Times: National] 8:41:37 PM     Digital Music has, and will, change everything.  Watching the music industry attempt to hang on reminds me of the last days of the British Empire.  Business Week, of all places, has a clear-headed analysis of the dead-end that the music industry has driven itself into.   [Scripting News] 8:39:04 PM
