Dark days for Europe
Brussels dispatch: The Iraq crisis has set back efforts to build a common EU foreign and security policy by years, writes Andrew Osborn. [Guardian Unlimited]

.< 2:48:03 PM >

ABCNEWS.com : Saddam Could Launch First Strike 'The United States is now considering moving against all three of these targets before any war begins in an effort to prevent Saddam from acting first, sources told ABCNEWS.'

Is this braindead journalism or just something to scare people back to siding with 'the war party'? One of the 'three' targets listed in the article is the allegedly wired-with-explosives 700 oil fields. Does anyone see a logistical problem here?

"Towards structured blogging" [Daypop Top 40]

.< 2:38:09 PM >

George W. Queeg 'Over the past few weeks there has been an epidemic of epiphanies. There's a long list of pundits who previously supported Bush's policy on Iraq but have publicly changed their minds. None of them quarrel with the goal; who wouldn't want to see Saddam Hussein overthrown? But they are finally realizing that Mr. Bush is the wrong man to do the job. And more people than you would think - including a fair number of people in the Treasury Department, the State Department and, yes, the Pentagon - don't just question the competence of Mr. Bush and his inner circle; they believe that America's leadership has lost touch with reality.

If that sounds harsh, consider the debacle of recent diplomacy - a debacle brought on by awesome arrogance and a vastly inflated sense of self-importance.'

A must read article. Why it took 'pundits' so long to figure out that Dubbya was incompetent is a mystery to me.

Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Blair backs 'road map' for Middle East peace 'Both leaders' remarks appeared to be carefully choreographed as part of the build-up to war on Iraq. But Mr Blair refused to speak directly about Iraq and rejected a reporter's question about whether the timing of the peace plan announcement was cynically timed to alleviate Britain and America's diplomatic problems over gathering support for a war on Iraq.'

Bush to renew Mid-East peace push
The US will push for an Israel-Palestinian deal as soon as a Palestinian prime minister is confirmed. [BBC News | World | UK Edition]
Oh yeah. The great diplomat has lots of credibility and good will with which to pull this off!

Clinton takes symphony role
Former US president Bill Clinton takes the role of guest narrator for the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra. [BBC News | World | UK Edition]

Airshow Mastering Updates SACD Production Guide
Springfield, VA (March 14, 2003) -- Airshow Mastering has updated their popular Artist’s and Producer’s Guide to SACD. Originally issued in 2002, the current update includes new information about domestic manufacturing of hybrid SACDs and SACD authoring services. [ProSound News]
Well done David.

Blink Digital Rides Crest of Booming Bonus DVD Sales

With a history of turning out top-selling, long-form music DVDs, Blink Digital, an Ascent Media company, has found itself perfectly positioned to answer swelling demand for these new short-form discs. [ProSound News]

Trinfinity Software released AppleScripts for iTunes, a collection of three scripts for cleaning up ID3 tags of songs in your iTunes music library. One script capitalizes the first letter of each word in song, artist, and album tags, a second extracts the artist name from the song title and puts it in the artist tag, and a third removes track numbers from song titles. The scripts are free for Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 with iTunes 2.0.3 or later [Macintouch]

Reporter Takes His Weblog to War
A Manhattan journalist is raising money online so he can travel to Iraqi Kurdistan to cover the impact of a U.S.-Iraq war on the Kurds. His reports and photos will appear not in mainstream media but on his weblog. By Mark Baard. [Wired News]
What a great idea. Independent, unfiltered media.

MacNN | News: Students receive iPods from University 'The iPod also provides teachers with the means of delivering course materials electronically to each student, including contact details, sound files, video clips, audiobooks and e-books - all with the click of a mouse.'
