Monoculture on the Potomac
My next column, which appears online tonight and in print next week, quotes from a speech given last year by now-former @Stake CTO Dan Geer. (I also referred to that speech last August in this weblog). Today my RSS feed is full of news about Geer, who was principal author of a paper that was presented on Wednesday at the 30th annual Washington Caucus sponsored by the Computer and Communication Industry Assocation (CCIA). Most reports suggest Geer was fired for his role in the report, though some some suggest he resigned.[Full story:

The story of Dan Geer is currently making noise in the blogosphere...

Calif. Set to Sue EPA on CO2 Emissions, Source Says (Reuters)
Reuters - California's Attorney General Bill Lockyer looks set to file a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in a bid to force the federal government to regulate carbon dioxide emissions, a source close to the case said on Friday. [Yahoo! News - Science]
The Tokyo protocole was already signed by a lot of countries. May be California will be successful in "helping" USA to sign and observe it where Europe and other countries failed ?

Word Pirates: take back the language!
David Weinberger and Dan Gillmor have launched a site, Word Pirates, where we can reposses the vocabulary that's been hijacked by politicans and marketers.They're our words, dammit!Marketers, politicians and other short-sighted, self-interested, sticky-fingered people have been stealing our words. Not only do they take them for commercial purposes, but they misuse them entirely. They're Word Pirates and we're going to take back what's rightfully ours.
For instance...For instance, the word "pirate" itself has been taken over by the Big Content companies. They mean "anyone who shares files." Real pirates murdered, raped and stole. They didn't share music, rightly or wrongly.

MovableType template variation
I saw on Joi Ito weblog that there was a RSS feed which allowed to have the posts with the comments. I though that it was a good idea and started to build a template based on his feed.
Here is the result. To install, just copy & past the content in a new template in MovableType, and reference this new template on your Main index template.
Feel free to give me feed back on this. I am willing to improve it if needed.

comment spam
Got several spam comments from “vig-rx” today on various blogs I maintain. A quick look around the blogosphere indicates that the person or ‘bot responsible has been busy-busy-busy today. Mine all came from the same IP address, 61.181.5.155, which I’ve added to the banned list in my blog. If you’ve gotten some of the same comments spam, but from a different IP address, I’d appreciate knowing where yours came from so I can add it to my banned list. Update, 1 September, 11:52am I followed the trackback from Shelleys’ blog, and from there found her excellent information on blocking comment...

Worth reading and following the trackback.
