I’m on vacation, dialup, and my way out the door to go bowling with my son, but this msg came from Josh Koenig of Music for America. I haven’t taken a look at where the links leads, so the management disclaims any responsibility, etc…

Back home. Viewed the video. It’s “Dick Cheney’s Alive.” Josh hasn’t let us down. Durn funny, IMO.

By the way, I’m sort of on vacation in the Berkshires for the next ten days or so, although it’s sthe sort of vacation where I’m still working except I have lousy dial-up connection.

All are by friends, but I’ve turned my heart to stone and have taken a cold-blooded, objective eye to them, and recommend each:
Dan Gillmor‘s We the Media has just hit the stores.
Joe Trippi‘s The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Micah Sifry and Nancy Watzman’s Is that a Politician in Your Pocket?

Hated the hokey salute..
He’s being likable and relaxed. Great smile
“Trees are the cathedrals of nature”? Separation of trees and state!
The work of our generation isn’t done yet. I like it! This speech hears so much better than it reads!
A plea for complexity. My favorite topic. I’d love to see W’s rejection of nuance bite him in the ass.
“The future doesn’t belong to fear. It belongs to freedom.” Perfect.
“The flag belongs to all the American people.” Continues the Convention theme of the unity of all Americans, odd in the bitterest, most divided election in my life. And it’s the right theme.
Family values theme isn’t working for me. Not that that matters. Falling into predictable patterns of American political rhetoric. What next? “Good jobs at good wages”?
The fact that signs had been distributed saying “Help is on the way” sort of breaks the illusion, doesn’t it?
Still, Kerry sounds damn good to me. Sounds not only presidential, but like a guy who should be president. I haven’t even noticed his hair in the past ten minutes.
We’ll get to pick our own doctor? Ooh ooh! Can I have Dr. Doolittle?
Great Lincoln quote. Just contributed $150.
Go Kerry. This afternoon I thought we were going to lose. Now I think we can win.
Dan is once again providing thoughtful commentary, this time on the AP’s article that says that bloggers are “feeling their way.” No kidding!
I looked up “Valhalla” in Google to see if I’d spelled it correctly, and above the entries, Google offered to show me a map of Valhalla…Valhalla, NY, that is. Still, it took me aback.
Are there other fictitious places for which Google provides above-the-results maps?

Dan Bricklin writes about the experience of blogging events with an acuity that is eerie.
Gets me to thinking someone should do the Five Stages of Large Event Blogging…

Dan Gillmor’s blog on the topic of his splendid book, We the Media, is up in beta. (It doesn’t look real beta-ish to me.)

My site has been down all day. I don’t know if email got through, but at least this site is back up. Obviously.
Joho the Blog uses WordPress blogging software.
Thank you, WordPress!
