La Beet

After having tried desperately for a long time to update my WordPress blog - with the help of friends, IT people here and there etc. - I’ve had to give up. I just could not do it.
I’ve migrated everything to a new address. It’s slightly less memorable, so please make a note of it!

What do they have in common? On the surface of it, nothing. But I see two things. One - they’re both sign o’ the times. Two - they appear on my blog in the same post…
I found a link to this film on Boing Boing. It’s Girl Talk, Lawrence Lessig, Gilberto Gil and Cory Doctorow […]

Before I start my round I want to complain! About you! I can see from my statistics that I have a steadily (okay, ever so slowly) growing group of readers. But so few of you ever bother to comment on my posts? Now, this last post about the Nobel Laureates. Honestly, a good chunk of […]

Here’s the latest news on the development from Forbes. Both congress and senate seem to be dragging their feet.
And I think that’s a good thing. I’ve decided that there is probably more of a libertarian in me than I’d thought. I read through Paulson’s plan when it was first launched, long and dead-boring as it […]

Here’s on the double standards women political candidates are subjected to. It’s the Tonight Show again. I’m afraid I find […]

Here’s the inside news on the Google browser, Chrome. And here’s Google’s own post announcing it. I don’t (yet) see features that I’ve desperately craved, so I’m not going to install it just yet. I’m overly happy with the latest version of Firefox, which has several new features that I use a lot. Here’s a […]

I wrote the other day about Mrs. Palin’s Wikipedia entry probably undergoing changes as I was writing. I was more on the spot there than I’d ever suspected. See this bit from Boing Boing and follow the links.
From next week I’ll be following a course at Uni called “Source Reliability”. A brief look at the […]

Slate, New York Times, The American Prospect, Megan McArdle and a lot of sites that they’re linking to discuss the Obama speech. They seem to agree that it was a good speech, but not fantastic. He is an oratory master and has made so many good speeches during his brief career, that he’s made it […]
