Quick Links The Dean campaign has talked about their strategy to retake Congress (more
realistically, I would say, to stem the losses) by pushing Dean supporters
to volunteer for local races and give money. Today, the idea will be
tested. Campaign manager Joe Trippi
sent an email to all
Dean supporters asking them to give money to Iowa Rep.
Leonard Boswell. The Boston Globe has
a story on it:
Dean pushing Democratic Congress. Boswell hasn't endorsed anyone in the
race yet.
2071.org has a translation of a French piece about a reporter who
was 'embedded' with the Iraqi
guerilla group that hit the DHL plane. There's some
photos of the
damage at What Really Happened (looks like the plane made an emergency
landing, but was OK). Reading stuff like this gives me the chills. I am
really worried about the situation in Iraq.
Things you have to

Fortune:

Are corporations "they" or "it"?

Washington Post:
Election Is Now for Bush Campaign. More on the Bush/GOP Get-Out-The-Vote
efforts planned for next year. Yikes!
Paul Ford: A New Website
for Harper's Magazine. The first real application of RDF and the semantic
web? Who cares about that crap -- I just want to read Harper's archives
online. Which I still can't do.
(Somewhat related to the above) Peter Van Dijck:
Themes and metaphors in the
semantic web discussion. This is a cartoon-style narative of the frequent
"the Semantic web will never work" conversation. Boiled down like this, I
can actually make sense of the arguments.
Wow, Movable Type can be used to
send spam!
Oops. Six Apart
released a patch to reduce the problems.
George Soros has an
excerpt of his new book The Bubble of American Supremacy in this
month's Atlantic (see, sometimes it's worth reading...like twice a f$@#ing
year!). Soros is pumping big bucks into anti-Bush organizations.
Philip Greenspun made his class do a usability analysis on Friendster for
their midterm. The results are pretty interesting:
