Amazon’s Online Book Beta – Ugh!
Posted by: kegill on: 31 May 2006
Firefox 1.5.0.3 – PC. Cannot annotate a bookmark. Tried highlighting “notes” and typing – does not work. Tried putting cursor to the right of Note: and still cannot type anything.

Notes: Presentation to UW Senate.The Washington State Department of Transportation (WashDOT) will release the SR
520 project Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) mid-summer. Because
there is only a 60-day comment period, this meeting is the last

Posted by: kegill on: 15 May 2006
This afternoon, I’ll be interviewed on KUOW on the Communications Opportunity, Promotion, and Enhancement Act of 2006 (COPE) in general and network neutrality (I prefer to call it network discrimination) in particular.

In a way, the hoopla over Harvard sophomore Kaavya Viswanathan, 19, is testimony to the power of "open source" philosophy. We’re not talking about software — Viswanathan’s product was a novel — and the community is loosely defined as "readers connected with Internet technology." But the result is not unlike what happens when a jointly [...]

The NY Times reports that Google is protesting a move by Microsoft to try to boost MSN search by making it the default search tool in the upcoming version of Internet Explorer.
