John Edwards? As the best candidate for progressives to vote for? Huh. I hadn't gotten the impression that he was even worth considering, but maybe I should take a look at him.

The guy that does Get Your War On seems to have a new comic going called Adventures of Confessions of Saint Augustine Bear. I dunno what to make of it yet, but it mentions Saint Augustine, so I figure I better link to it. (Mind you, I don’t think much of Saint Augustine. But, Great Books is Great Books.)

Hmm. I'd thought that comments weren't Googleable. And then I thought I'd specifically told comments not to be Googleable, just in case. But it turns out comments are Googleable.

I think the BlogBot should be somewhat more robust now. I didn't fix the bug that makes it disconnect sometimes, but I did tell it to try to reconnect automatically, so if it disconnects it should be back within a minute. This should prevent a repeat of its long absence this weekend.

Seaside is a very interesting looking framework for building web applications in Smalltalk. It appears to make developing the backend for a web application less like building a group of discrete pages, and more like building a single application. There's also a Ruby framework based on it, Borges. Can't find anything in Python. I'm tempted to either try and write a Python version or learn Ruby or Smalltalk (both of which I'd like to know anyway).
Update: It works by doing continuation magic that I don't think I could do in Python. Looks very cool, though. I'd like to try it out in Smalltalk or Ruby.

Dave Winer: The interviewer asked repeatedly if he wasn't hurting Democrats by running, assuring a Republican victory, a repeat of 2000. After coming out of a meeting mostly about the press and how they manipulate us, I really felt for Nader. If I were him that kind of pressure would make me more insistent on running.
Exactly! I'm not particularly inclined to vote for Nader this year, but the way some Democrats obsess over him is just absurd. Trying to shout down everyone who supported Nader in 2000 is the worst possible strategy, because it will only make them feel like they have even less in common with the Democratic party than they did before.

iPhotoToGallery is (as you may have guessed) a script that makes it easy to export pictures from iPhoto to Gallery. Since iPhoto is what I use to organize my photos at home, and Gallery is what I use to publish photos on my website, this is useful to me.
