My daily reading list includes a number of excellent technology blogs. I just posted an article about ReadWriteWeb and to balance the equation, here’s one about the other major blog on my “daily must-read list”. (I’m also adding TechCrunch to my Blogroll.) Here is an excerpt from a TechCrunch posting that I think will pique your interest!
Have you ever wanted to know when politicians are lying? A startup called RealScoop thinks it can nail it down for you in real-time with ... Read Full Story
My daily reading list includes a number of excellent technology blogs. ReadWriteWeb is one of my favorites. (I’m adding ReadWriteWeb to my Blogroll.) Here is a recent announcement that I think all my readers will want to hear!

Posted: 28 Oct 2008 10:59 AM PDT
We’re excited to introduce today the launch of a new content channel here at ReadWriteWeb. It’s called the ReadWriteWeb Jobwire and it’s a site dedicat... Read Full Story
Too many technically correct but ethically incorrect assertions from Obama and McCain down through their propaganda surrogates, Biden and Palin, have re-enforced our belief that we can not trust politicians.
Even worse, however is the performance of the Fourth Estate. It seems that the press is taking great pains to lead a candidate down a particular path then take his or her comments out of that context and use them in other areas to deliberately mislead the voters. This is not “obje... Read Full Story
Today, when John McCain said now is not the time to place blame, it came across as if he were protecting Republicans. In reality, the financial crises started with the Clinton Administration and was allowed to continue past 2004 when Republicans tried to call attention to the looming failures and were talked down by Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Greg Meeks and the others in power at the time.
Look at this compilation of a CSPAN2 recording covering the 2004 hearings.

When it comes to guerrilla tactics to influence an election campaign, Lehrer is a pro!
Katie, your tactic of linking the McCain campaign to “the Great Depression” by asking Sarah Palin a leading question (If this doesn’t pass, do you think there’s a risk of another Great Depression?) then going to McCain and asking “And using rhetoric like the Great Depression, is that the kind of language Americans need to hear right now?” had you ahead of Lehrer. Well done!
However, Lehrer took ... Read Full Story
A few weeks ago, I mentioned Zemanta and said I would comment further at a later date. Someone recently asked how Zemanta adds value to your blog. This is an example.
If I wanted to enter the political dialogue, I could think of no better way than to find a quote and comment to it. Zemanta makes this easy to do. I went to Zemanta’s site, found an article on Sarah Palin and am quoting from part of the article.
I found this fascinating quote today:
A week ago, in my post “The Pa... Read Full Story
I found an intriguing web site just a few moments ago and couldn’t resist posting to it. Here is part of the post. I will replicate it in full below. The blog is: http://www.existentialquestions.com . The blog is intriguing because everyone can register and post directly to the blog as if they owned it. (which is the intent of the owner).
For over 300 years, we have believed that rules based on mathematical equations could be used to describe the natural world. Could an even sim... Read Full Story
I seldom recommend a product directly from my blog posting, but today, I’m making an exception.
I was looking for a specific HTML ASCII code and came across a table of all them as part of an eBook package by Shelley Lowery.
The HTML book alone was well worth the price of the package ($49), but it was only one of a set of 8 eBooks, plus a number of bonus materials. Based on the content of the HTML eBook alone, I am confident that all the other content is first-class.
Here is more inform... Read Full Story
Earlier this year, I came across a posting in ReadWriteWeb that looked interesting as a tool for this blog. I downloaded it into Firefox and soon forgot about it as I wasn’t yet into the development of this blog.
To my surprise, when I started posting a few days ago, I was pleased to see that Zemanta was helping me with the tags and permalinks. I took advantage of that and let Zemanta provide the content. I was even more pleasantly surprised when I saw the post show up on the blog. ... Read Full Story
