Can the Caps Survive the First Playoff Round?

The Washington Capitals have not shown a great deal of desire or skill this season, as they limp into the playoffs.

For Caps, Win May Prove Big Down Line. "OTTAWA, March 28 -- Any team to prosper deep into the playoffs can recall nights when obscure players rose to unexpected heights, taking their teammates along with them. The Washington Capitals harbor thoughts of such a postseason run this spring, and suddenly their least heralded players are leading the way." Washington Post.

Al Gore Is Back!

Wonders never cease. Apple names Gore to its Board of Directors. Go away!

The man from Tennessee who "invented" the Internet has just taken a set on the Board of Directors of Apple Computer, Inc. Really. Who cares? Go away Al. No one was interested last time, we hated your beard and if you couldn't beat George W., what good are you anyway?

I'm In The News Again

The Microsoft antitrust case is not over! Appeals Court to Hear Case vs. Microsoft.

Well, here we go (again). I've been working on the Microsoft antitrust case since 1998, and now ... finally ... the whole thing may be coming to a resolution. Yesterday the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit set the appeal by CCIA and SIIA to be heard "en banc" on an accelerated schedule. The question is whether the settlement proposed by the government and approved by a lower court is "in the public interest." Hang on until late this year for an answer.

Welcome to My Blog

It doesn't seem right to begin this process without an appropriate welcome.

Weblogs, also known as "blogging," are based on a new technology that with the benefit of RSS and XML, supports the collection of linked, related information in a free-form manner -- a little like stream of consciouness. Blog definition. Having just launched it, I do not know what Glenn's Blog will turn out to be. Perhaps a quickly passing fad. Perhaps a longer term journal substitute. Only time will tell.
