IDblog ... an information design weblog

April 02, 2003
On the lighter side

dc metro map Cool...IDblog is now on the map :).

Well, on Maureen and Don's weblog-enhanced DC Metro Map that is. I'm there at ground zero (heard today that they'll be providing us with face masks...the joys of being in downtown DC a block away from the FBI).

Hmmm...so many blogs, so little time. Well, I may have to check out why DC Blows and why the heck there are so many weblogs near Vienna/Fairfax.

Thanks to mgk for the pointer.

And alas, I missed April Fools by a day, but this was way funny: Google Acquisitions Create Movable Bloggerland:

Asked whether this was a shot across Microsoft's bow, VP of Microsoft's Platform Group Jim Allnose said "Absolutely not. People are already blogging with Microsoft software. You just download the .NET framework, install some service packs, grab a few things from MSDN, install Sharepoint Team Services, and upgrade everything to Office 2003. Once you do that and upgrade to Windows Server 2003 which ships in the next few weeks, you're ready to go. It's simple, and we think it represents the future of consumer-based blogs."

Thanks...I needed the yucks :). If you are so inclined, be sure to check the links too!
