I’ve had a lot of problems with Technorati in the past. My profile has gotten out of sync at least 6 times. Each time it stopped indexing my site and each time I reported it. It’s taken longer for support to get back to me each time and I’m tired of dealing with it. (It took several months the last time around.)
33 8 2
It’s December 11th which means it’s now 2 weeks until Christmas day. My daughter Lela is 8 months old today, oh yea and it’s my birthday. I’d actually forgotten my birthday was this week until yesterday when I was looking at my schedule and noticed it was the 10th. This will be Lela’s first Christmas, so I setup the photo studio the other day and took some pics of the family together. I also took one of Lela by herself that we’ve entered into a local Baby’s First Christmas photo contest. I’ll post links to them on my Flickr site once I’ve added them. Speaking of Flickr, I’ve posted a sample of the photos from my SC’07 trip to Reno, NV.
FCC wants to remake mistake
FCC chief favors waivers for Tribune – USATODAY.com
Sometimes I have to wonder if FCC chief Kevin Martin truly understands the purpose of his organization. The FCC already made the questionable decision to waive the rules prohibiting Tribune Co. (or any one entity) from controlling multiple media outlets in a single market. The waiver was to expire within 2 years or the sale of the company. Now a new investor wants to buy out Tribune, but doesn’t want to have to deal with the restrictions and Martin doesn’t seem to mind. The whole point of the restriction is to encourage competition and prevent one group from controlling information in a particular area. The idea is that the more points of view the public has available, the better informed they’ll be. On the one hand you could rationalize the decision in that you’d essentially just be extending the waiver to the new owner. However, the expiration clause was put there for a reason. A saying comes to mind: “two wrongs don’t make a right.”
