Google has Bush to win. Fascinating (and very simple) statistical analysis – shows that you can use a very large body of continuously updated information from extremely diverse sources (like Google’s index of the web) to model… practically anything, including elections. Techies at Earthlink have built a nifty test application using SIP, which is a foundation technology for VOIP. This is cool because it shows that SIP could kick off a renaissance of interesting (and economically important), highly distributed and standards-based applications, which would be fun. Anti-Hummer sites are popping up all over the place. Here’s a funny one – and here’s the one I linked to the other day. They’ve found a Russian Space Shuttle in the dessert in Bahrain. Wow. (Thanks to Joi Ito, Things and Ivan for the links).
In which I try, after 25 years of blogging, to drop my ironic stance a bit.
