For nearly a year I've lived in that relatively new zone called the blogosphere.  I'm now considering moving.  Like many people, I've entertained the idea over the years of writing a book or two; but for now I just enjoy writing an occasional column or story.

K5, I'm disappointed in you.  On October 19 I was watching CNN and was hearing that someone was threatening dirty bomb attacks on football stadiums. Obviously fearmongering media idiocy, complete with ex-FBI call-in talking heads throughout the morning/ early afternoon. Obviously a slow newsday for CNN to report the workings of Internet trolls... but that's what bothered me the most: what Internet troll had created this glorious shitstorm?  Ever since our crowning achievement last year in the science of Internet trolling, I've been looking forward to K5 topping that supremely asocial event. So when it was finally announced who the culprit was on October 20th, I was severely depressed. Because this guy was beyond pathetic. Which led me to the inevitable realization: it should have been one of us.

The downside of being on the road all the time is that I never get to read the same newspaper   every day.

Tycho:  Today's comic is based on a story we saw at Kotaku, but when I went over there to verify the link the story had been removed altogether.  For those of you playing along at home, what that means is that Kotaku

Tycho:  We put Monday's strip up early, so you might have seen it already - but you might not be familiar with the EGM interview it is based on, an excerpt of which appears here.  I sometimes worry about appearing partisan in these communiques, but it is not my job to be fair.  I'm not a journalist, I'm a consumer.  I don't buy one product from each company in the interests of some karmic ideal, and I don't need to purge my posts of wrongthink because I haven't produced something suitable for use as a press release.  Sony is grinding down their goodwill with every smug, psychotic interview, and someone needs to tell them so in clear terms.

In my last blog post, I mentioned the work on rubinius (then at a 0.7 release and now at 0.8) and JRuby.  I also promised I&#8217;d follow up on them.  Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s been going on so far.

Doc: "A year from now every newspaper will have a newsriver." I think so too because: 1. The idea is so compelling and 2. It's so easy to implement. Thanks so much to Doc Searls for writing a great evangelical piece about the power of rivers. The stream is turning into a current, and soon really will be a river.  It&#185;s so weird to see rivers show up in Facebook, and Twitter is just a big river of all the people you&#185;re following. The idea is actually a descendent of the teletype terminals that used to be in the movies (and for all I know in actual newsrooms). The news would be printed on scrolls of paper, and when a new story would come in it would push all the older stories onto the floor. You could catch up on the news by scrolling back through the news. Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Katherine Hepburn did it. We&#185;ll all be doing it soon enough. And it really helps to get other people singing the song, esp from within the hallowed halls of Harvard. The more attention we get focused on it, the more other developers will tune in. And what may not be so clear from the narrative is that this project got its start from a meeting I had with some technical people at the Times last week in NY. Like most organizations, it's not of one mind, there are people who are scared of what comes next but there are others who know that the Times has to change. By opening up their internal data to me, all kinds of interesting stuff can happen. We've been here before. The Times are the unsung heroes of RSS, without them it never would have solidified, with the publishing industry falling in behind the Times. It was this consensus that created critical mass for RSS 2.0 in 2002 and 2003. I really hope some of this stuff feeds back into the Times support of RSS. And as you have seen, there are now lots of new opportunities in user interface for news. This is what I do, when I'm in my "flow" -- we're there now again, with a new toy to build and then play with, every day.  Betsy Devine: "Dave Winer has been improving the New York Times for as long as I&#185;ve known him." Phil Windley: "With more sources, who are themselves continuously updating, the keyword river could be as dynamic as you&#185;d want it to be."

Please shut up, Terry McAuliffe -- that is, about George W. Bush and his missing-time in the Texas Air National Guard. I keep receiving press releases from flacks at the Democratic Party about Bush&#39;s Guard service (or lack thereof).

USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but donÂ´t really understand the Washington Post. They do, however, like their smog statistics shown in pie charts.
