Karl Rove wins people over through their stomachs? When does the guy have time to cook when he’s Black Berrying half the administration? This puffery is about as light as his highly-whisked “eggies.”

Too bad Daniel Okrent is leaving his position at the NY Times. He’s a pioneer ombudsman (titled a “public editor”) did what he could to make the Times a better, more accountable media institution. But with the upcoming TimesSelect the paper is shirking its future: the online audience. In his final column Okrent ties a […]

Surprise, surprise. Dave Winer is having another fit. This time he’s attacking podcasting evangelist and ex-MTV VJ Adam Curry.

I’ve been listening to Curry’s Daily Source Code for a few […]

Star Wars is now complete. Revenge of the Sith the greatest Star Wars movie it is not. But it did tie up plenty of loose ends. Visually it has gorgeous backgrounds and amazing computer animation. But Lucas went overboard in the big battle scenes. Too much was happening. Ships and battle droid zipping all over […]
Ever improving personal technology has bit the U.S. military on the ass again. First, the world found out about the crimes at Abu Ghraib because abusive U.S. troops were dumb enough to take a bunch of digital photos. Today, The Sun and the NY Post published photos of Saddam in his underware–not a pretty sight. […]
Eric Pfeiffer points out some of The New York Times’ Elisabeth Bumiller loaded questions and biased stories. Questions like “Who made you the editor of Newsweek?”, “Are you asking them to write a story about how great the American military is; is that what you’re saying here?”, and declaring the Paul Wolfowitz, “a chief architect […]
