Blog It

I’m testing a handy blog posting app from TypePad called BlogIt.

This allows me to post an entry on my Tumblelog from my iPhone and also notify Facebook and Twiitter all at once.

We’ll see if this results in me posting at more frequently!

I now leave wifi turned off on my main computer except when I need to transfer a file or edit a web page, and I have a separate laptop on the other side of the room that I use to check mail or browse the web. Paul Graham, “Disconnecting Distraction

Adele - Chasing Pavements (via )

My wife and I are both increasingly impressed with Adele as we listen to her album more. She isn’t a super showy singer. She is intelligent, tasteful and really has her own “voice”.

Adele is playing in Chicago tonight. Wish we could just pop up there to see her, but we have these little kids…

When the lead-up to the war began, the press corps was under enormous pressure from corporate executives, frankly, to make sure that this was a war that was presented in a way that was consistent with the patriotic fever in the nation and the president’s high approval ratings.

Jessica Yellin, on the pressure she received at ABC News and MSNBC in 2002 and 2003. See Glenn Greenwald.

It is really a wonder to behold how in this “free” country with our “free” press, the mainstream media marches in such marvelous lockstep with the government. In some ways I wish that government control of the media was more open so that people would understand what is going on.
