Columnist Richard Cohen
in the Washington Post yesterday: Dead on the Money on the Bush tax cut. “Look, boychick, it’s always been this way. When the rich take from the poor, it’s called an economic plan. When the poor take from the rich, it’s called class warfare.” Thanks Michael.
And if you haven’t had enough Doctorow today,
he’s featured in an article in Internet Week today entitled Alleged Wi-Fi Risks Are Nonsense. “…in fact, users [of open WiFi access points] use only a trivial amount of a high-speed Internet connection. Moreover, switches on corporate networks are designed to balance multiple, high-speed demands on network resources. […] People who say to the contrary are wrong, they do not understand what they are talking about; they do not know how a switched network works.” Thanks Tamara!
Cory Doctorow has been involved
in a whole bunch of different things in the past couple of years, but when I first came across the guy a couple of years ago (FOAF) he was mostly a budding science fiction writer. Add to that entrepreneur, activist, blogger extraordinaire, and it seems a dozen other things, but in the end it still comes back to his fiction I guess. This week Cory published his first novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, and it seems to be a tremendous success. He’s testing a model I think is very smart too – offering a free version to download on the principal that it doesn’t reduce sales but increases sales. I know I’m buying it; you should too.
