  • Blogs – Blogging with the Whales
    “Needless to say, I chose to go whale watching with Quoddy Link Marine, not because they had a blog, but because of what the blog revealed to me about the company and its staff, something a typical corporate Website is not usually very good at.”

  • Bush Grants Self Permission To Grant More Power To Self | The Onion – America’s Finest News Source
    This would be so funny if it didn’t sound so damn plausible!

  • Bloglines | News
    Cool — looks like Bloglines are taking on feed access control head-on, which I’m sure Eric might be pleased to hear. Now we just need the Flickr guys to make the same change

  • Seth’s Blog: Three important lessons from Dreamhost
    Seth’s right about Dreamhost’s honesty in discussing their recent problems — I know personally as a customer of theirs I’ve been very impressed and it’s made me a LOT less likely to wander off elsewhere.

  • ongoing · Unending War
    “They’re not just scum, they’re cowards.”
    Impassioned political commentary from Tim Bray. Personally I’m inclined to agree with him — those sitting far away approving of the conflict are the worst criminals here.

    Re Dreamhost: you and me both! It was a little scary realizing that my sites were down on a day when the media might be looking at one of them, but at least I knew what was going on. (I’ve had entirely opposite experiences with hosts previously: bad things happened without explanation or apology.)

    And somehow the utterly doleful tone of the last newsletter was quite redeeming.
