Gotta love the How to Annoy People websites. I especially like the ones on how to annoy people in the computer lab; gives me good ideas for next year at college. Muahhahaha
Kuro5hin has a very interesting essay on politics and the internet. Basically the author blasts the 2000 presidential canidate websites for not fully using all the avaliable resources that the internet allows. I for one agree with his general dissapoinment, cause I mean both Bush's and Gore's websites were terrible. They didn't go into near the in-depth detail that I've come to expect from the web. Instead of telling us exactly how they stand on issues like the DMCA or UCITA, it's mearly a glossed over "I support technology". How can anyone agrue against that? However as the posters below the article noted, campaigns are not won on details or firm stands, but are won on 5 word slogans or "images" that are carefully cultivated by hordes of public relation people. It's too bad that it has to be like that, but such is politics.
Zzzzzzz
