Ze Frank says,
“People started telling me that if I wanted to do something, first I had to learn about how complicated it was…”
In his smart sharp-witted way, he goes on to explain that a lot of people tell you that you must understand something in it’s entirety before you can even start to use something […]

Kent, Earl and OmegaMom’s posts regarding ProBlogger’s series “If I Had to Start My Blog Again” are wonderful. In fact, I read Kent’s last night and pondered it quite a bit today, sketching out some notes during my lunch in the car today. I was mildly shocked to read OmegaMom’s post on the subject tonight, […]

As usual, Kent Newsome has some thoughtful analysis of the Kevin Rose/ Jason Calcanis conflict. In fact he’s writing with some very insightful personal experience. However I have to think that it is quite possible that Kevin’s wording is a little misleading (although of course he’s free to correct me if I’m wrong):

Toby Richards postulates on Newsforge about “Why Linux isn’t mainstream”. And in the huge whack of resulting comments, the discussion rages on as to what Linux has to do to make it mainstream.
I’m not entirely sure it will ever be. And I’m not entirely sure that it needs to be, at least in the way […]

If you’re a regular listener of This Week In Tech, you’ll probably know that they’ve recently done a redesign of their site. It looks much much better, but there is one problem.

Almost a month ago, I posted about how I was attempting to deal with my digital photo workflow under Linux. Since then, a couple of things have happened which have made me re-think my workflow… and probably in a way you might find surprising.
Here are the two things that have happened:
A) I’ve become enamoured with […]

Found via a signature on a wxPython mailing list post of all places, this site has got to be one of the most interesting applications of news aggregation I’ve ever seen. It’s marked as a proof of concept and it tries to rank the headlines from good news to bad news. Thankfully it starts with […]

In this fourth post on basic photography concepts I’m going to explain metering. As always, I’m not going to attempt an exhaustive discussion on the topic, but rather I’ll try to provide the basics in plain english, with hopefully just enough meat to build some understanding without reducing anybody to tears (of boredom or fear […]

The Man with the Bones has a great review of Superman Returns. This part just made me chuckle:
…In other instances, he weedily floats, bobs and slides around on his stomach as if he’s the asthmatic kid learning to swim on a tummy-board. Un-super in my opinion…
All in all a very well written and balanced review. […]

Dave Winer’s criticism of Podshow during the recent RSS feed hijacking fiasco seems to have earned him a blank paragraph in a recent Steve Gillmor post. Now Dave writes about why he was critical of them and why he was right. He ends of the post with:
If Steve Gillmor thinks I’m fucked up for calling […]
