Christopher T. Nitchie: Personal StuffNon-technical blogging.(Untitled)- June 30, 2002 I got an e-mail from an unknown e-mail address with some interesting links relating to yesterday's post. First, a story called The Right to Read by Richard Stallman. Second, a site drawing parallels between Microsoft's Palladium project and that story. Here's some more information. Here's a story on an AMD motherboard design that could make Palladium work. AMD and Intel have agreed to work with Microsoft on Palladium. Here's the original Newsweek story on Palladium.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100564/categories/personalStuff/2002/06/30.html#a163 (Untitled)- June 29, 2002 Bob Cringely has the story on how Microsoft is going to take over the web. This will obliterate the web-as-commons paradigm and set the web up as nothing more than another Cable TV system, where large companies get to use it to distribute their content. It leaves their competition, most notably Linux, out in the cold. The article is a little technical, but I think it'll be pretty readable to everybody. This is important.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100564/categories/personalStuff/2002/06/29.html#a162 (Untitled)- June 28, 2002 Where's Waldohttp://radio.weblogs.com/0100564/categories/personalStuff/2002/06/28.html#a161 (Untitled)- June 28, 2002 IOL : The cow, the car and the driver's wife: "A couple touring the west Austrian Salzburg Alps got the shock of their lives when their car was hit by a falling cow, police said on Thursday. In the incident on Wednesday, the couple were emerging from under an overhead wooden scaffolding to protect drivers from avalanches when the cow crashed down on their bonnet.

When I was in school, I just didn't say the "under God" part. I need to watch more tennis. Proposed redesign of the WTC. Neat looking, but I don't know how realistic it is. Dig the Twin Peaks background music! (I still like this one).http://radio.weblogs.com/0100564/categories/personalStuff/2002/06/27.html#a159 (Untitled)- June 27, 2002 Just a quick note before work. I'm still here. I'd just about given up on the ol' blog, but I've gotten two e-mails in the last 24 hours via the mail link, so I guess people are still finding it and care enough to contact me. Brett pointed out that my link to Deadly Bloody Serious was pointing to the wrong place. I see he's been helping Garth out, too.
