The Internet Is Not A Cloud

The Fiber To The Home Council has put together an interesting video to spell out the problems with Net Neutrality regulation. Beyond the net neutrality issue, however, it’s also a very good explanation of how the Internet works, and the problems with infrastructure development and capacity. If you are interested in understanding the

Setting The Record Straight

At the Politics Online conference yesterday, a number of people questioned some of my comments on this site as well as TechPresident.com. The general theme was “You seem to spend a lot of time beating up on McCain”. I was asked why I don’t give equal criticism to Romney, Giuliani, and the other

More From Politics Online

I was planning to do more live blogging from POLC yesterday, but the breakout sessions were in fairly small rooms and I ended up standing most of the day. That’s not terribly conducive to breaking out the laptop.

Almost thirty-two years ago the District of Columbia passed a complete ban on handgun ownership. In the

One of the most common typographical mistakes made on a keyboard is the dyslexic “the” also known as “teh”. It’s so common that Microsoft Word automatically corrects it. The practical impact of this typo leads to an odd reality in Internet marketing. If you’re going to have a domain name like “SaveTheInternet.com”
