Election Day in Newark is tomorrow. Cory Booker “will doubtless win the mayorship”:http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/08/nyregion/08newark.html?_r=1&oref=slogin, a prize he has sought for at least five years, but the big question is whether he will be able to install enough of his team in the city council to be able to stabilize crime, resolve the looming fiscal crisis, […]

On the Radar: Web Calendars, Lip-Syncing and Love (oh, my)

* “Boil the ocean”:http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=%22boil+the+ocean%22&btnG=Search, an egregious consulting term used to limit the scope of a project: “we’re not looking to boil the ocean with this.” Fast Company took “a shrewd look”:http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/88/debunk.html at the phrase, and Bob Congdon digs up its “earliest use”:http://www.bobcongdon.net/blog/2004/06/boil-ocean.html.
* “Moleskine Bible”:http://www.esv.org/blog/2006/04/journaling.bible.coming (”via Tim”:http://www.challies.com/sideblog/archives/001828.php). Very forward-thinking book design on the […]

* “Ask a Ninja”:http://askaninja.com/. Don’t ask me why, but I think this is hilarious (”iTunes podcast”:http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=115933673&s=143441).
* “ScrewTape on the Da Vinci Code”:http://churchofthemasses.blogspot.com/2006/04/screwtape-on-dvc.html. If anyone’s going to revive ScrewTape, […]

Faithful readers “may recall a link”:http://kennsarah.net/2004/02/29/jon-udell-the-calendar-fiasco/ back in 2004 to ??Jon Udell??’s apt lamentation of the state of digital calendars. Even with the web and RSS and iCal, there just simply has not been a sustainable way for me to share a family calendar with my wife in the same way I can share […]

March 15, 2006 – 10:06 pm
It seems every other day I find out about a new tool to get me to the information that matters most. Back in the day, it was “My Yahoo”:http://my.yahoo.com, then it was “NetNewsWire”:http://ranchero.com/netnewswire, then for a while it was “Newsgator”:http://www.newsgator.com, then “Google Home”:http://www.google.com/ig, now “Rojo”:http://rojo.com. Just today I took “Windows Live”:http://www.live.com for a […]
