POPS Your Internet Ego "You ain't shit until you do something. Your little bullshit activities that amount to nothing are just personal pretense, you pretending to be important when you're not. You might want to come onboard our site, and read, and learn, and we have no objection to that. But when you do nothing when you know what the truth is, well, that's cowardice and laziness, and you deserve whatever fate this world throws out you."

POPSSerotoninrain: what a blog should be I discovered this blog, more or less, when I first discovered blogs. blogging, and the social web in general, about two years ago. It has remained one of my very favorite blogs for reasons I've frankly never quite understood. It's just little daily glimpses into the mind and life of a smart, reflective, and interesting guy. He writes about his job, what he's reading, cooking, his family, and random weirdness that comes over the wires, including -- I'm not sure how he found them -- yours truly's clips. (That's not why I like his blog though.) Anyhow, all you aspiring bloggers, read this guy. This has sort of become the paradigmatic blog for me: short, frequent posts; a wide variety of subjects; fluid, interesting writing; and a very personal and reflective style. Having tried this with a couple abortive blogs, I also have an idea how difficult it is to sustain. Keep it up, Jim, and I'm awfully sorry about Fig.

POPSDr blogs own malpractice trial, loses Pediatrician Robert Lindeman started an anonymous blog, "drfleablog", where he talked about pediatrics issues. He was sued for failing to diagnose diabetes in a little boy who eventually died from it. In his blog, he would talk about the malpractice suit and make fun of the plaintiffs and the jury. Since he knew that malpractice cases hinge on what juries think of the doctor's moral character, the revelation that he was the author of the blog meant that his asshole nature would be exposed to the jury and his case would be sunk.

POPSHatred towards Women Bloggers... When I read this in the BBC, I thought it was just sensational journalism. I followed the link trails and went to web sites in question. Horrifying. Appalling. I remember visiting Ms Sierra's blog years ago when I started out in web design. This woman is a long time blogger advocating creativity and technology in a well written blog. I would read her stuff, zeldmans stuff among others. Why she should be threatened in an extremely frightening manner is beyond me. http://headrush.typepad.com/ While anonymity gives some freedom of expression and freedom of the constraints of identity for surfers and bloggers alike, it by no means should allow people to be able to make this extreme level of threat to another human being regardless of gender. Issues with free speech and terrorism do not necessarily mean Iraq and the war. Irrational hatred takes on so many insidious forms...

POPSA brief history of blogging I know this isn't the whole history nor is it totally representative of all the milestones, but it is quite cool none-the-less. This particular post isn't all that interesting, but I thought the pic of the "History of Blogging" was pretty cool.

POPS2007 Weblog Awards: Vote by Friday Feb 2nd Deadline More categories and info at the source. Apparently this is a coveted award, since most of the weblogs I checked out mentioned that they had been nominated and encouraged the reader to vote for them. It's very simple to vote; the hard part is choosing which weblog to vote for in each category. :D

POPSProtesting Clippers could face Prison or Fines. Well it's too late for me I reckon, so I might as well just keep on keepin' on peacefully protesting. Now more than ever, it seems so necessary. This is another "I dare you" clip. Are they trying to scare, intimidate or threaten people to the point, that they just don't dare comment or clip or pop or blog or speak out anymore? Should I just cave in and "turn myself in" quarterly and bow down to oppression? I think not. I will not be silenced. If I ever stop clipping about all this, you'll know why. See ya in Guantanamo! - The White House's own recently de-classified strategy for "winning the war on terror" targets Internet conspiracy theories as a recruiting ground for terrorists and threatens to "diminish" their influence. - Chertoff pledged to dispatch Homeland Security agents to local police departments in order to aid in the apprehension of domestic terrorists who use the Internet as a political tool.

POPSIs there a blogging tool like this? Clipper nvizzini mentioned a need for a blogging tool that will allow one blog entry to spider to other blogs instead of having to double-blog, as he puts it. Is there such a blogging tool? I've seen bookmarking tools that let you add a bookmark to multiple sites (Clipmarks conveniently has this feature for the clips we make), but I'm not familiar with a similar blogging tool.

POPSRight-wing propaganda machines "We are in a battle for the heart and soul of this country, but the battle is not in Washington and it isn't at the ballot box. At least not in its heart. It is on our TVs and newspapers and radios and blogs." "The cancer knows this, which is why they shriek about "media bias" and claim that the media is "left wing." Because this fiction, this justification for their own moral, intellectual, spiritual and ethical bankruptcy must exist for them to maintain their own operation. Without this straw man "liberal media" beast for them to quixotically chase like so many children playing "adult" dress-up by putting on their parent's tie and glasses, they must face their own fraudulence just as a child is forced to admit to a parent when he's lying." "And they can't face themselves for what they really are. To reach this state of awareness is to pull back the curtain and reveal their own rotten soul, consumed by hatred and rage." Well said.
