  • Google CEO: Secrets Are for Filthy People
    Remarkable. You know, it is funny that Google's motto is "Don't be Evil." Reminding workers not to do something suggests that the default is to do just that. In other words, evil is their default behavior. Contrast that with . . say . . .the Golden Rule which exhorts you to do good, expressing a positive instead of a negative.
  • January 2010: Adam Ciralsky on Blackwater
    I think this is supposed to be a hit job on Erik Prince, but the dude comes across as a total bad ass. I want him on my team. Oh wait! He is. That's why the left hates him.
  • It’s Time to Ask: Who Could Replace Ben Bernanke?
    Yes it is. And by the way, why aren't you reading the New Ledger daily?
  • Is "Rube" Sarah Palin Redefining E-Campaigning?
    Dan Riehl has a great post up on Sarah Palin and her e-campaign effort. Very thoughtful.
  • Cream Biscuits
    My wife made these for me. They were delicious. I got off the airplane and there they were waiting for me. Yum.

The Pulitzer Prizes, the most prestigious US journalism awards, announced on Monday that a member of a primarily online news organisation had been named to the Pulitzer Board.

The election of Jim VandeHei, 38, the executive editor and co-founder of political website Politico.com, came less than a week after the Pulitzer Board expanded the eligibility of Web-only publications for the awards.

“In many ways, the Pulitzer Board is on the same mission as Politico: to embrace new media while fighting to protect the highest standards for writing, reporting and accuracy,” Politico quoted VandeHei as saying. “I am honored to be a part of this effort.”

A friend sent an e-mail.

I thought it was a joke.

It wasn’t.
