The New York Times Story You've Been Waiting For...
A Rift Among Bloggers. Five years ago, programmers pioneered Weblogs, or blogs. These days, many consider Weblogs to be inherently political, something that has angered Weblog veterans. By David F. Gallagher. [New York Times: Technology]
Apparently, there is no rift. At least not between Instapundit and Dave Winer. Ah...peace in the valley.

The Social Life of Paper
An interesting discussion of paper and its merits from Malcom Gladwell, the author of The Tipping Point. My friend Greg pointed me to this article, which appeared in the New Yorker, because he knows that I favor scanning of documents and keeping information in digital form. But don't get me wrong. I like paper and I'm not saying that every piece of paper should be digitized. Still, I maintain that the transactional cost of dealing with paper (especially in the legal profession) is unecessarily high. But it's hard to wean ourselves from that which is familiar even if, rationally, we know that it is holding us back. Maybe the Web will accelerate the process of getting us to accept information in digital form.
