"Boston Trip 2 - Day 1. Met Lisa in Boston, we took a cab to the hotel. The hotel doesn't have any sort of Internet connection, so I borrowed Lisa's dialup number. Unfortunately that kicked me off after like five seconds, so I decided to go warwalking for open wireless hubs. After half an hour or so, I finally found one right by my hotel, they've got a cable modem and it's very fast. >It's awesome! Technology is great sometimes. Now I'm downloading my mail and blogging." [Aaron Swartz: The Weblog]
I really need to get on the wireless bandwagon, well first I need a laptop...

Do any RSS aggregators use the HTML link element? [via Jenny]
Well who knows, but my page has them now. Here's what i put in my <head>: <link type="text/xml" rel="alternate" title='XML' href="http://ipwebdev.com/radio/rss.xml" />
(I had to put XML in single quotes because if I used double quotes Radio thought it was a shortcut like this: XML teehee)

Book Burning: Hollywood Style. This Friday the Tom Clancy book "The Sum Of All Fears" will make its big screen debut. In TSOAF, Clancy brings back the familiar players like Jack & Catherine Ryan, John Clark and Domingo Chavez. This time, terrorists have gotten their hands on a nuke, and are going to set it off in an American city. The book was a good read, as are most of Clancey's works, but the movie is already set to be a miserable disappointment to those who liked the book, or are familiar with Jack Ryan after having seen him portrayed by Alec Baldwin in "The Hunt for Red October", or Harrison Ford in "Patriot Games" and "Clear and Present Danger". The names are the same, but everything else has been changed to protect the politically correct. I call this "Book Burning: Hollywood Style". Warning: Plot Spoiler Inside. [kuro5hin.org]

Lowercase Music
It's hard to tell wether this article was written to draw attention to a musical genre or just as advertising for Apple and DigiDesign.
From /.:
- Picture with a Mac
- "magnification of minute sounds through a computer, typically a Macintosh."
- "...and amplify them with software such as DigiDesign's Pro Tools."
- "...attracted about 100 people to see three performers, all using Apple PowerBooks. "
- "Macs are central to the creation of lowercase sound ... and they amplify and edit the soft sounds on Macs. "
- "this work has blossomed tremendously with the relative availability of Pro Tools (especially the free download from DigiDesign)"
- "the lower prices of Mac hardware over the last few years"
- "The Mac is the favored platform ... Most people who work with computer music use a Macintosh. "
- "This grew out of putting powerful computers into the hands of ordinary people..."
