FOAF
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Wed, 09/29/2004 - 17:10Today, I received an email that Tribe.net is now supporting FOAF.
I added it to PLINK, and now my PLINK listing only has my first name.
So, now, I have three good FOAF files:
Ecademy
Tribe.net
LiveJournal
The three FOAF browsers I've been playing with most these days are:
PLINK
FoaF Explorer
foafnaut(no listing there, yet)
FOAF: Web View

I received an email from Intelliseek. They have two interesting sites. http://campaignradar.com provides an interesting snapshot of what is being discussed in the blogosphere with regards to the upcoming election.
If you go to http://www.blogpulse.com/index.html, you can do your own searches on the blogosphere. It looks like a nice tool.
In blogland, my article Herding free-range cats is on CivicSpace.
New York Times Magazine
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Sat, 09/25/2004 - 22:23Well, my blogging at Greater Democracy makes the New York Times Magazine, sort of.
I am the greybeard sitting behind and to the left of Markos Moulitsas. However, my name, nor Greater Democracy, isn't mentioned in the article.
Better?

“Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”
This is a question that gets asked during just about every election, and the answer usually seems to be more, “Do you want the current administration to remain in power?” People who do want the current administration to remain in power, cite examples of how they are better off, and point out that the places where they are better off are not a result of the current administration. Those who want regime change site examples about how things are not as good as the were four years ago, and how the things that are better are not a result of the current administration.
It takes a village
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Wed, 09/22/2004 - 18:29Flying back from San Francisco, over Chicago. It has been an uneventful flight so far. The woman next to me is flying with her 10-month-old son. She is on her way to her mother’s house where she will spend the final weeks of her second pregnancy. The son has slept for a good while and she has gotten some sleep, but now, he is awake, but she still needs rest. I tell her to try and rest and I will try to help. He is interested in the computer and wants to squirm around. It does take a village, even a small ad hoc village forty thousand feet over lake Michigan.
