I have been struggling with a way to develop an online collaboration solution for some work flow processes that we have.
What we have been doing lately is developing a newsletter and it has been hard to track what the status of everything is. Plus we have several authors and a couple editors working on a story.
And did I mention that the people working on these are located all over the country? Continue reading
Slapstick Politics: Sen. Salazar Feels Nutroots’ Heat For Not Being A “MoveOn” Democrat
Slapstick Politics has a wonderful post about how Ken Salazar is getting attacked by the far left organization MoveOn.org.
Salazar does not need the support of MoveOn. If he is to get re-elected in Colorado he is going to have to be a moderate. It would be extremely tough if he goes as far to the left that MoveOn wants him to.
I am happy that Salazar is a moderate, but MoveOn is not winning any friends lately. America is finally seeing the anger that they bring to politics.
What we need is a healthy discussion and debate, not threats. Right now, the only thing that MoveOn is bringing these days are threats.
One of my favorite blogs to read is 43 Folders. It has a lot of useful information and is quite enjoyable to read. Especially since I try to follow Getting Things Done by David Allen.
Well they have just updated there site and it looks great. You can register to comment on stories, participate in the forum, and customize your visit to the site.

Fox strikes deal for free shows on iTunes | One More Thing – CNET News.com
I like this trend, but I don’t think that ABC and NBC are going about it correctly. They are doing it with their own DRM and only from their website and ignoring the number one video player in the business, the iPod.
By involving the iPod, Fox will get large distribution that will hopefully turn into more viewers. But, the studios and advertisers don’t pay attention to people who download shows or record them on their DVR.
Jon Leland of Media Mall has a good comparison on his post about this subject. “NBC ‘s shows expire after one week and are loaded with commercials. Fox + iTunes have no commercials and you can keep them as long as you like.” Continue reading
This was one of the best baseball games of the year. The Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres in 14 innings by a score of 2-1.
It was a pitcher’s duel and you knew it was going to be a tough one with Jake Peavy pitching for the Padres. The probable Cy Young winner is tough on everyone and had his good stuff going early.
But the Rockies had rookie Franklin Morales going for them and coming into this game he has not given up a run in 11 innings of work. And this was a pitcher’s duel. Continue reading
I just needed a change, a big change.
I was tired of the design of the old site. I was using a Cutline 3 column theme and is was starting to wear-me-down. Also it was a good time since WordPress is getting ready to release 2.3.
I am now using a theme called Paalam. It is a two column theme and works with WordPress widgets. So far I am really happy with it. I have adjusted the colors a little to better match the photo I am using, but otherwise I have not changed anything. I will probably need to update the code to work with the tags coming in WordPress 2.3.
The photo is the same one I have used since I started the blog and is a photo of the peaks above Breckenridge, Colorado. You can ask for anything prettier than that.
Let me know what you think of the look.
I just want to know what is happening with the media these days. The circus that was created today around the O.J. hearing and the mess following when he was released on bail.
The media these days is going for stories that many of us could care less about. I personally could care less about what O.J. did in Las Vegas.
Who also cares about what Britney is doing or not doing? Not me. This is not news that should be on the national stage. It may be in news that covers celebrities or Hollywood, but not CNN or MSNBC.
