Dumb as We Wanna Be - New York Times

apartness — Sat, 03 May 2008 07:13:13 PDT

While all the presidential candidates were railing about lost manufacturing jobs in Ohio, no one noticed that America’s premier solar company, First Solar, from Toledo, Ohio, was opening its newest factory in the former East Germany — 540 high-paying engineering jobs — because Germany has created a booming solar market and America has not.

Overkill and Short Shrift - New York Times

apartness — Sat, 03 May 2008 07:04:10 PDT

"Most of the electorate understands that the U.S. is in sorry shape, which is why more than 80 percent of poll respondents say we’re on the wrong track. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright has nothing to do with any of that. The idea that his nonsense may shape the outcome of this election is both tragic and absurd." Thanks to the news commercialization that began in the 1980s, Americans now have the worst journalism in the west. Iraq, Afghanistan, global warming, an imploding economy, yet what is the election about? Apparently it is about Rev. Wright.

Different Approaches to the Semantic Web - O'Reilly Radar

apartness — Thu, 01 May 2008 08:51:01 PDT

"Don't ask users to provide structure, unless it's useful to them. But do design your applications in such a way that structure is generated without extra effort on the user's part. And mine structure that already exists, even if it's messy and inefficient."
