My heart is warmed. This isn't rebellion, this is a son looking up to his Dad. The ultimate compliment, in my opinion!

I should only be so lucky (so far, my daughter wants to be a Dr. and my son a Daddy - I am 0-2, but my hubby is 1-1). Though, I suppose a Dr. is better than a PR Chik?

MSN Spaces has totally screwed up URLs like:
http://spaces.msn.com/membe...
... insteads of
http://spaces.msn.com/membe...
so no wonder Patrick went for Google's blogging service.

If you are a Librarian of Congress, most people that you will meet, anywhere in the world, will be "smart, educated, interesting, and nice".

Do you have a dog? If so, will he start blogging? :)
I think it's cool that your son started a blog. I wish when I was younger that I could have developed an interest in what my dad did but the stock market & banking was too boring. :)

Very interesting, you're communicationg with your family via blog posts instead of e.mail. Now, I just heard a podcast or read a blogpost a couple of hours back with just that notion, that e.mail is outdated, replaced by blogs and IMing.

You know you're a geek working for Microsoft when buying an iPod and using a Google blog tool is deemed rebellious!

At 11, he could already be getting into girls' pants, smoking weed, and drinking booze.

"Now he’s using a Google blog tool. I gotta straighten him out." Aren't you using a Unix based tool for you blog?

Dear Guzzard;
Ideas of a president are not the idea of his/her peoples.
Most of our peoples are not agree with our president. We said many times: We don't want him and this government but what did do other nations?
Our cruel government arrests anybody who wants freedom and other nations look at them!
Surely most of them are like terrorists and think like early humans! :D
But can you say that all peoples are the same?
They pay money to their fans and want them to go to streets and say "Down with Israel" or "Down with USA" but!
But we sit at home and say "Down with yourself!"
Our country is growing on our shoulders but they save moneys! They've forced our great peoples to migrate from Iran.
I except you think better about people (Not only Iranians). We have many smart men or women but also have many stupid people.
We want peace and don't support them and respect to other religions and want others to respect to us.
+ Our president face is like Hell Boy face, isn't it?! :)

And I imagine that his blog had more visitors in the past 6 hours than I've had in the past year!

I already gave him 2 links to cnet video reviews of mp3 players i think you will be buying him in the future (xmas).

A small flash based one, and a larger HD based one.

Wow, for ONCE, in your spew of ego-fed name dropping, I am actually impressed. :) James H. Billington wow. I mean wow. Dang. I mean wow. Wow again. I read a few of his Russian books back in the day and his old PBS Series was a classic. And Theology Today is the best of its mold. He was placed in as Director during the John Hughes era timeframe, this I know, I think 1987, as 'Some Kind of Wonderful' was on big screen. Odd association, but LoC always held a fascination.

Just an expansion of NDL? The LoC sounds like an actual decent program, get page images of some of the material, that used to require a special researcher pass, as back when I was working for Cato and indirectly for the first Bush WHO, was right next to the LoC (pre-Mass Ave. days) and I swear I got lost in the caverns so many times. Having some of the uncopyrighted historical material all paged-imaged is a dream. Delicate projects tho. $25 million seems just a start. But isn't National Archives doing that, what is LoC's role? Dang, if this becomes a reality, I am gonna send a resume to James H. Billington, but I can't hold a candle to him. For that matter 99.99999% of the world can't.

Yeah, Smart, Interesting and Nice, what a crock! Irans President was quoted as saying: "no doubt the new wave [of attacks] in Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot from the face of the Islamic world”.

“Anybody who recognises Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation’s fury,” he said, in remarks aimed at Arab states.

He is not alone in these thoughts. How can Microsoft help them?

Robert,

good to see Library of Congress and Microsoft talking... even if only in the back of a car!

LC, and others, are increasingly recognising the need to open up access to the wealth of material held in libraries around the world, and there are a large number of fascinating activities underway in this area.

Technology companies such as Talis are working with these libraries to ensure that this content, and the services that might be built upon it, are as open and accessible as possible, and that they fit within the wider web rather than sitting in a library ghetto.

The library should go to the user, rather than expecting the user to come to the library. And that's EXACTLY what we're doing, leveraging web-based standards, and the capabilities broadly described as 'Web 2.0'.

Watch this space!

I love the fact your son is anti MS. Good thing he didn't use MSN Spaces. Those blogs are ugly. Blogger is not much better, but we all have to realize that Google will own us all. (except for Steve Jobs)...

Daniel: like his blog says, I didn't help him do it.

Blogger only has Atom feeds, anyway.

Re: Oh, geez, my son is blogging…

Wait... do my eyes deceive me... the son of Scoble doesn't have RSS enabled on his blog?!

Bryan: getting my son to use something he doesn't want to use is very challenging. Personally I like it that he tries stuff that I wouldn't use, cause then I have something to talk with him about.

Re: Oh, geez, my son is blogging…

Bryan Villarin — Thu, 27 Oct 2005 03:07:02 -0000

Are you going to get him to use WordPress.com before it's too late? :) (j/k)

Good stuff - it'll be cool to see what he's got to say!
