Looks nice -- lets you define routing relationships between various social media services. Has an API -- apparent there are already OSX droplets. It's an OpenID consumer, too. - Dave Walker
"During the conversation, apparently Zero Wing came up. You know, the Sega Genesis video game. I don't know how. And apparently, my friend made the off-hand comment of "All your base are belong to us". And Obama leaned forward in his chair, quirked his eyebrow a bit, and responded "What you say?"" - Dave Walker
“This is what the Republican Party has done to us this year: It has placed within reach of the Oval Office a woman who is a religious fanatic and a proud, boastful ignoramus. Those who despise science and learning are not anti-elitist. They are morally and intellectually slothful people who are secretly envious of the educated and the cultured. And those who prate of spiritual warfare and demons are not just ”people of faith“ but theocratic bullies. On Nov. 4, anyone who cares for the Constitution has a clear duty to repudiate this wickedness and stupidity.” - Dave Walker
I'd only be in favor if the money were distributed fairly. In other words, my "Kissed a Girl" money better go to Jill Sobule instead of Katy Perry. - Dave Walker
Considering the extreme differences (besides the title) of the two songs, I fail to see the relevance, but in general I agree with you.With a new system for collecting money we need a new system for distributing it as well. The term "fair" is impossible to define, however, so it would probably have to be based on something else. - Asbjørn Ulsberg
Elaborating a bit, I consume a ton of music yearly, but proportionally the great majority of it is by lesser known artists. My fear is that lesser known artists would be underrepresented in any compensation scheme drawn up by the Big Guys and their legions of legal staff. - Dave Walker
“What should emerge from this wreckage is a major conservative party that acknowledges the idiocy of acquiescing to dumb mobs, a liberal party that realizes its future lies with inspiring centrists like Obama and not fringe-identity politics, and a lot of tiny angry splinter groups filled with nuts dedicated to one extremist cause or another.” - Dave Walker
My first thought, when I'd read nothing more about Azure than its name, was "I wonder what it is-- probably another API / middleware layer that does something interesting yet completely incomprehensible." And I was _joking_. The financial world may be in chaos, but it's good to know that some things in the world still behave precisely as expected. :) - Dave Walker
Hmm, now that I can directly push location from my phone via Brightkite, this would seem to provide the other bits necessary to fully enable a stalker feed. - Dave Walker
“When I complete my vote, I want to receive a printed receipt with a) my vote in clear text, b) a hash of my identity, and c) my digital signature of the above, for non-repudiation.” - Dave Walker
“After Colin Powell gave such a well though out, eloquent endorsement for Obama where he addressed every issue on why he was choosing Obama over McCain, why would Brokaw even insinuate that Powell had skin color in mind when endorsing Obama?” - Dave Walker
