Radio Community Server 1.0
Dave Winer
It is my honor to present: Radio Community Server 1.0.
Don't Deny Privacy for Security's Sake
One of the more pernicious bits of propaganda to emerge in post-Sept. 11 America is the notion that security must trump liberty. The nation's founders are surely spinning in their graves to see their descendants sell out their heritage.
FirstGov pick stirs controversy
One bidder said GSA could have bought search engine services from Google, a top-rated search engine, for more than $2 million less than it has agreed to pay for Fast Search's services.
Jenny Levine
I, too, would be interested to hear why they didn't choose Google.
Terrorism Q&A
The Council on Foreign Relations has launched an online encyclopedia of terrorism and the U.S. response to the September 11 attacks to give the public an easy-to-read, authoritative primer on what the experts know and don't know.

Steve Kettmann
A surprise decision over the weekend by European Union leaders to fund an alternative to the United States Global Positioning System satellite network could shape up as a critical event for Europe's future as a technological power.

Attack of the Clones Leaked
ain't it cool is running a purported review of Episode II. Harry Knowles is claiming to have gotten a secret screening of the film while at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, TX. Short story: he loves it.
I want to believe this; but, we'll see...
Cataloging Blogs
Globe of Blogs is similar to The Pepys Project, in that it's trying to organize blogs by location, title, author, birthday, and sex & age. Hmmmmm... I guess we'd need some new Dublin Core meta tags for these, eh? It hasn't gotten much further along than Pepys, but at least people are thinking about this topic.
Add Metadata to Your Blog
Bill Humphries over at More Like This has a cite to Aaron Schwartz's Sign Your Page guide for adding RDF in order tojoin the Semantic Web. Excellent! Reading for tonight, but I'm not sure this is the cite I saw last week. I'll keep looking just in case.
Jeff's Subscriptions
Hey, hey - Eric is back and he's pointed us to Jeff's Recently Read RSS Channels, which is similar to Jon Udell's mySubscriptions script that I documented. I like how Jeff lets you copy & paste the code, which hadn't occurred to me. Maybe I can switch my docs over to that format if I have time.
