ex machina

interesting. techdirt is trying a variant the weblogs for lighweight knowledge management scheme by putting together techdirt corporate intelligence:

"The company provides hosted, branded, private "Techdirts" for our clients. We've built (with quite a lot of help) a set of tools that helps us to very efficiently find/filter/summarize/analyze news for companies. We have a great content management system (built from the ground up) that helps us to post the stories to the corporate sites quickly (the corporate sites are completely separate from the main Techdirt.com and use a totally different system for content management). We do thorough, but quick, analysis for each news story, and we make sure that our clients are as informed as they can be about whatever news they want to know about. Companies like our analysis because we don't shy away from telling them what we think. We keep our analysis short and to the point, so there's no way to beat around the bush - and companies find that sort of direct honesty refreshing and extremely valuable."

this is something that i've considered doing for awhile and things like the blogger api and amphetadesk bring the startup infrastructure cost down to close to nothing. best of luck to the folks at techdirt.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
