You've got blog. AOL ready to offer weblogging tools to their subscribers. Ev is a little skeptical:
My guess is that they will release something called blogs, or some derivative of the term, in a few months (not February), which won't seem like weblogs as most of us know them. They'll co-opt the term to rehash something they already have, with a new coat of paint. I'm not sure whether this will be a good thing or a bad thing.
The Wireless Commons Manifesto. This sounds like what I believe, although I wonder if leaving out some of the utopian language might be more effective? Still, I don't mind that sort of talk myself. I'll be watching where this one goes. The Community Wireless Definition is certainly right on the money.
Anybody else here those helicopters all night? Nothing in the news today...
Just saw this in the changelog for PHP 4.2.0: "Fixed HTTP file upload support to handle big files better."
I'm not sure if "better" means the problem is actually fixed, but this sounds like there has been at least some improvement over the dismal performance of large file uploads in 4.1.2.
I'd really like this to work because the FTP step I'm having people do now is really breaking the whole "everything inside the browser" concept.

Boing Boing's Xeni Jardin points to tropisms.org, a video log on the internet. Yes, this is where we're going (although hopefully we'll lose Flash along the way.) Read Xeni's synopsis.
A Canadian group who call themselves the Raelians (who believe, among other things, that humans life began 25,000 years ago when some aliens visited this planet and cloned themselves,) are saying that they have produced the first human clone.
Alex MB and I are waiting for Two Towers to begin. I don't think I have a data connection right now, but here we go....
I'm on the train to Boston to see my sister, her family and my mother. Hectic last couple of days. Be back tomorrow night.
I haven't had a data connection all day on my mobile. Email here is a better bet.
