interesting…

The Washington Post has an editorial about a proposed exception to campaign financing laws for Internet ad spending. Basically, it would consider the Internet to *not* be a method of “public communication.” Right now, it’s the subject of a House hearing. Interesting.

Snapfish is gobbled up.
Posted by eric on March 23, 2005
Just got an email from Snapfish saying they’ve been acquired by HP. I’ve never really used any of the online photo services, I was only registered so I could view other people’s photos. I’m registered with Ofoto for the same reason. But anyway. Here’s their press release.
(and half of the fun of this post was the subject line. Ha.)

I was reading the wires at work when I found this article about the founders of Six Apart, who are the makers of Movable Type, which I’m using to post this right now. It’s a good read.

Site gets the hits; Zook gets the hook
I tried to check out the fireronzook.com site yesterday afternoon at work — it just said “Service Unavailable.” It still does. But someone else said it had a celebratory message of sorts after the announcement was made, and before the site pretty much crashed.

campaign visits aren’t all they’re cracked up to be…
Posted by eric on October 17, 2004
from Communities cope with costs of campaign stops:
The campaign also reimbursed a local museum $1,100 for four young maple trees it asked to be cut down in a parking lot needed for the rally. But Springfield also spent about $15,000 on police overtime it doesn’t expect to see back.
That’s a lot of money.
