Scott Rosenberg has a good post looking at a few topics; first the fallout from yet another live mike incident, second the feeling that there is a big difference between what journalists/columnists/politicians sometimes say or write, and what they really think. Live mike incidents tend to catch these; these are often called a Kinsley Gaffe . In this case, Scott notes: Now, if Peggy Noonan wrote a column every week that was as honest with her readers as she is here, with her colleagues, when she thinks the microphone is off, I would read it religiously. She’s part of a world that I don’t inhabit. But now I have a bright picture of the fact that she’s not writing what she knows and believes. I know columnists are people; they have relationships to protect; they want insiders to keep talking to them. Still: virtually every journalist in DC could go a lot farther down the road of writing what they know and think. Doing so would probably earn them more ...

Famous Last Words From: blueollie.wordpress.com Post Date: 2008-11-29 12:27:11
From the Daily Kos :
I love coming across great punditry like this, from Peggy Noonan in February 2006:
Conservatives are always writing about the strains and stresses within the Republican Party, and they are real. But the Democratic Party seems to be near imploding, and for that most humiliating of reasons: its meaninglessness. Republicans are at least arguing over their meaning.
The venom is bubbling on websites like Kos, where Tuesday afternoon, after the Alito vote, various le... more

New Gear From: glasshouse.waggeneredstrom.com Post Date: 2008-03-25 21:18:01
After being satisfied with my technology for a while, I’ve hit a spell where things started to not work, most particularly my cell phone. Given how much time I’m on the phone, having people not be able to hear me is a problem, so it was off to research new phones. I’ve been pretty happy with the Samsung Blackack, so ended up going with the Blackjack II. Early thoughts -- pretty good. The telenav software is buggy as all get out, and the $10 per month to use the GPS seems a bit... more
Why I run From: glasshouse.waggeneredstrom.com Post Date: 2008-03-23 21:22:00
On Easter here in Seattle, it rained. Buckets. My brother and I are six weeks out from the Vancouver Marathon , and he was in Hawaii running in heat and wind, and the calendar said today was 12 miles, relatively easy compared to the 19 from last week. But the rain came down, and I watched the window and looked at the weather page and wondered if maybe I should try again tomorrow. After all, I ran 10 miles on Friday, home from Bellevue across the I-90 bridge.
Eventually, I sighed, geared up... more
Why Hide Content? From: glasshouse.waggeneredstrom.com Post Date: 2008-03-23 20:57:19
I’m new to Harper’s, only a few issues in. Starting a new magazine is always a bit of a challenge, there is no familiarity to help guide me through the new issue. Which sections do I like? Which should I skip? With publications I’ve been getting for a while, it’s a comforting routine to open, flip through, read/respond/be surprised. Harper’s is hard, in that it’s not very easy to categorize, and it comes on its terms -- not mine for sure. The articles are lon... more
Fixing Wikipedia From: glasshouse.waggeneredstrom.com Post Date: 2008-03-21 07:12:13
Dave Winer has a good post that takes a balanced look at some of the challenges facing Wikipedia. It’s especially timely given that amount of news that Jimbo Wales has been generating about his personal life, his relationship with the organization and how wikipedia handles edits to its pages. Relevant links via Valleywag here . Since it’s Valleywag, consider the source. ;) Two things worth restating here, since I’ve written about Wikipedia previously. First, it&rsqu... more
