Good luck to one of my favorite bloggers, Robert Scoble, who is leaving Microsoft for PodTech.net (whatever that is).

Zarqawi is dead
Zarqawi is dead, and Christopher Hitchens nails it, as usual: If we had withdrawn from Iraq already…then one of the most revolting criminals of all time would have been able to claim that he forced us to do it.

New header image
I finally updated the header image on this blog (RSS readers, click on over!) after nearly six months.

Small steps for identity
I recently updated my About page with a list of links to each of my online identities at places like Flickr, del.icio.us, LinkedIn, and others. It’s a first-crack effort at being transparent about my online identity at various locations. As I wrote this past January, identity online is an emerging issue, though it hasn’t quite…
