Microsoft has ambition plans for computer privacy, piracy, security, and authentication. By getting support from Intel and AMD, MS envisions a new PC architecture with specialized security chips combined with new software.
For Palladium to take off MS has to make sure it’s effective, easy to use, and inexpensive. Creating an industry standard that […]
I’m back from Dubuque. The wedding was fine. For some the heat was unbearable. I didn’t think it was that bad, and I was one of the few men to wear a suit jacket to the service. The dinner and reception were enjoyable. I caught up with seldom seen relatives […]
I will be away this weekend. My cousin is getting married in Iowa. Probably no posts until Sunday night. Have a good weekend.

Arafat will now accept Bill Clinton’s peace proposal of a few years back. It’s now a little late to be trying to turn back the clock when Arafat was the one who rejected the proposal in the first place. Should Israel take the bait? No. When Arafat first rejected the proposal […]
Could pro-cloners like Ronald Bailey and Virginia Postrel calm down with their calls for unrestricted embryonic stem cell (ESC) research and see where the science of adult stem cells is? If adult stem cells can do many of the things ESC can, then most, if not all, pro-lifers would drop their resistance. Then […]
Bob Greene’s Once Upon a Town charmed me with its portrait of Americans who loved their country and their soldiers. It’s a story of goodness, generosity, kindness, and patriotism. For almost five years the residents of North Platte, NE gave six million traveling soldiers a taste of home. Sandwiches were made, coffee […]
This quote from Professor Joseph Kunkel adds to my contention that Jesse Ventura hurt the prospects for a significant third party:
He really didn?t help build a movement. His lack of political experience and interest in politics and the political process meant that he failed to build that third party position and represent it in a […]
Patrick has some good thoughts on weblogging as a business tool. Google’s already doing it internally. He then made a quick thought that weblogs would be good for “information sharing in the hunt for terrorists.” FBICIA.blogspot.com might have let lower level agents and analysts stumble on the 9.11 terrorists.
What I find fascinating […]
Guys, I’m thinking of putting my money where my mouth is. Since the Blogathon gang suggested a few too many Left-of-center charities (namely Planned Parenthood), I’ll consider signing up if I can find a good charity and some sponsors. This is where I need your help: I’m looking for a charity that […]
Cuban dissidents get thousands of signatures demanding a vote on basic human rights–the Varela Project. Castro’s response is to force millions to sign a petition calling for Communism to be “untouchable.” An unnamed European diplomat said in a mealymouthed way, “No doubt people support the regime. You can’t force nine million people to […]
Again, I offer Arafat this suggestion: if he can’t stop Hamas from bombing Israelis, then call for a joint U.S.-Israel-PA operation to destroy Hamas. Not only would much of the homicide bombing stop, but Arafat would be the one who a major risk to move toward peace. Sadly, this won’t happen. Arafat […]
Governor Jesse isn’t running for re-election. He lays part of his decision on the media. [It’s difficult] “do these public service jobs when you know that your family can be assassinated by the media at any point,” Ventura told Minnesota Public Radio this morning. It’s partly the media’s fault that Jesse became […]
Could the Blogathon people suggest non-Leftist charities to support? Planned Parenthood, Amnesty International, and Friends of the Earth don’t inspire me to give. How about Habitat for Humanity or the Salvation Army? At least they’re not suggesting donating to another 9.11 victims fund.

I’ve preferred the word “weblog” over “blog.” The later just feels too grungy and grimey–probably because it rhymes with “grog.” But blog may enter the Oxford English Dictionary. [via Blogdex]

It made be over a week old, but Josh Chafetz’s description of spontaneous order is outstanding and would make Hayek proud.
Since he recommended a few readings, I’ll suggest my own. To really appreciate Hayek’s application of spontaneous order to economics, read “The Use of Knowledge in Society” found in Individualism and Economic Order. […]
