Techies want details

How exactly does Wi-Fi interfere with television? Are the networks using 2.4GHz for video somehow? 5GHz? I don't know, but I'm curious. The blanket "no" sounds strange to me.

Culture clash

My latest Suitwatch is up. It's about decentralization vs. centralization in IT, basically. And it already has a very interesting response that I hope leads to a useful discussion at IT Garage.

What it isn't

It's been too long since I've given Public Relations a hard time. So I just did that, with Public Relations that are Neither, over at IT Garage.

Not speaking of which, we're now (1:05pm Pacific) "live on tape" with The Gillmor Gang.

Regime changes

In Convention Coverage is a Failed Regime and Bloggers Have Their Credentials, Jay Rosen does his longform best on the insular past and blogged future of political convention reporting. Read the comments too. I like Blog the Pig.

[Later...] Check the updates. Very interesting stuff about how and why some bloggers got credentialed and some didn't, with mea culpas and other interesting statements from the credentializer/blogger (Eric Schnure) at the DNCC. Here's Matt Stoller's blog post there.

Dave has a standalone version of Eric Schnure's reponse. That's at Dave's community site for DNC bloggers.

Jeff wants to see the full list of approved bloggers.

Still, a turn-on

Agony has replaced his hamster porn video with a photo gallery. The star has a homecage that's also a blog.

Meanwhile in Wondir-land, one wonders how Baruchito would answer the question,

Is it safe to use a loud vibrator externally on the clitoris? Will it damage the babies hearing?

Appetizer

Dave Aiello writes to remind me of two other New Jersey summer staples in addition to blueberries: corn and tomatoes. No offense to the same produce of other regions, but there's no better corn or tomatoes than the ones you get from farms in the Garden State.

Dave also shares a story about a local farm that's still going strong, in spite of many changes.
