A few things noticed today, or noticed recently but never blogged:
A smart, brief post from Philip Greenspun on the future of Google. I wouldn’t be suprised if this were not Microsoft’s strategy as well. Migrating the Office apps to .NET makes it that much easier to create web interfaces for desktop apps (like they’ve done for Outlook via Outlook Web Access).
Weblogs.com hosting service goes poof w/o warning (much to the chagrin of 3,000 users).
bugmenot.com helps you out with sites that require registration (for those days when you’re feeling particularly paranoid).
Faces of the Fallen: US Fatalities in Iraq. A daily-updated photo-history emphasizing the human cost of this evil thing we’ve gotten ourselves into.
