Seeing a title like “Broadband Needs Political Leadership” kind of stops me in my tracks, not that I disagree with the author in principle. It’s just that we’re not exactly talking about “unclogging the tubes of the internets”. I think the main problem facing the United States is the corporate structure of telecommunications and broadcasting [...]

After it hits the front page how long it hangs around is anybody’s guess. (tags: digg) Blogging for Passive Income? Passive income from [...]
MyBlogLog is a wonderful service that gives independent bloggers a readily accessible social networking and community functions through stats tracking. Boy was I late to this party.

It’s understandable that when you have what you feel is good content (like Scoble’s exclusive video of Intel’s 45 nm fab—whatever that is), you naturally want people to link to it because [...]
Social media is a fickle beast that can toy with your heart. The past couple of days was an emotional roller coaster. I ended up getting 6 stories on Digg, 1 on Slashdot, and 1 on BoingBoing. Not a bad feat considering I’ve never been successful at it just one week ago. Not that I [...]
