Bruce Schneier:

August 30, 2004 by Michael Boyle

How Long Can the Country Stay Scared?. An argument against the current practices of the Department of Homeland Security. Schneier says that the DHS is “inadvertantly… achieving the same thing” as terrorists. I’m not so sure it’s entirely inadvertant. No one who has read Orwell can think so.

Jon Lebkowsky,

August 23, 2004 by Michael Boyle

who according to Multiply is an “Online Buddy” (and is in fact a very longtime web acquaintance of mine, at least 8 years now) has decided to leave Multiply, and presumably the other services as well. Jon followed with a modest proposition: “several folks I talked to had the right idea… let’s stop going to artificial social network sites and make use of the opend, stable, useful tools we already have for networking over the Internet, witout going to a one-size-fits-all website. Portal strategies keep coming, and keep failing. People like to roll their own.”

PCWorld has published

August 20, 2004 by Michael Boyle

an article called Blogging Across America, which is fine and great except that the site the author built is NOT a weblog. “Weblog” is not just the newfangled name for a personal website. It is a specific form of personal site, a subset of all the different kinds of personal site one could maintain. Within the category there are almost innumerable options – but at base, chronological organization is essential, and I would say links and commentary on those links as well.
