I just discovered this relatively new feature of blogger, but at least at this point in time I don't think that I'm going to be using dynamic links. I've checked out the examples provided and none of them really rock my boat.

My View on Dynamic Views
'via Blog this'
A Camera App for iPhone
Camera+ ...the ultimate photo app: - Well, perhaps, but I do need to check it out myself!
And so I installed this application on my iPhone earlier and tested it out with a walk around the old Decatur Waterworks. Results of my afternoon stroll are up on flickr in this set. I don't think I'm going to be replacing my DSLR anytime soon, but at least I have a way of taking pictures when all I have with me is my smartphone.

Connected to Google+
I'm typing a new entry into Blogger and I'm presuming that it's also now going to show up in Google+.

Robert Reich With Advice for Obama
It really would be refreshing if the president listened to this guy. After all, it's not as if Reich hasn't had experience working with democratic presidents.
Amplify’d from robertreich.org
Supply-side economics doesn’t work. It’s been tried for thirty years, to no avail. And now, when our continuing economic crisis is so palpably being driven by inadequate demand, it’s bogus than ever.
The last thing we need is for the President to go over to the supply side.

Ralph Reed and Net Neutrality
Amplify’d from www.alternet.org
Did The Cable Industry Pay Ralph Reed Millions Of Dollars To Orchestrate Tea Party Opposition To Net Neutrality?
The claims made by the ads are patently ridiculous. Net neutrality has existed since the early years of the Internet, when government-sponsored engineers developed the first networks and recognized that bandwidth discrimination would hamper innovation. Indeed, rather than a government “takeover” of the Internet, net neutrality ensures that Internet content — whether from a Tea Party website, a commercial website, or even from ThinkProgress.org — can’t be censored by a cable company or another provider. Despite supposed Tea Party opposition ginned up by groups like Americans for Prosperity, the FCC finally did hand down rules establishing net neutrality — with regrettable exceptions for mobile devices.

Storms Unheard of
And this was before the tornadoes hit Massachusetts yesterday.

Are You Ready for More?
In a world of climate change, freak storms are the new normal. Why we’re unprepared for the harrowing future.
In a world of climate change, freak storms are the new normal. Why we’re unprepared for the harrowing future.
From these and other extreme-weather events, one lesson is sinking in with terrifying certainty. The stable climate of the last 12,000 years is gone. Which means you haven’t seen anything yet. And we are not prepared.

Blast From The Past
Well the reference to Buckminster Fuller is certainly a reminder of one of the visionary figures of the 20th century in my opinion.

Seattle Thinking about Replacing Alaskan Way Viaduct
We happened to driving along this road a couple of weeks ago and my daughter told me all about the various concerns regarding earthquakes and access to the Sound.

Where Are Updates to This Site?
I've been following the WorldChanging site for many months now, but as of last month the new articles have come to a halt. I'm kind of mystified about this, as the new edition of the WorldChanging book as just shown up in the stores, and I'd have thought there would be a lot of new articles showing up on the website. Of course it could be that it's time for a bit of a break.
Actually on looking back on the frequency of new articles, I see that they've been getting a little less frequent in recent months. I'm a happy owner of the new book, by the way, so there's more than enough there to keep me occupied for quite a long time without having to check for new stuff online.

Is Web Search Becoming Less Useful
Doc Searls thinks that searches on Google and Bing are not bringing up the most interesting or relevant information. He's concerned about search results returned at top of list being possibly a little too commercial in nature.

Failure Modes for Society
This is an excellent article that I've been wanting to bookmark for some time. I'm finally getting around to doing just that so it doesn't slip away.

The Open Web
I like the sentiments expressed in this blog entry by Dave Winer. Read the rest of the article. This is why I feel comfortable storing things that I write in sites as mentioned in the accompanying quote. In fact, this is also one of the main reasons that I find "Amplify" useful since it allows me to push content to all of these sites at the same time, thereby insuring some resiliency in my writing.
I also store images in flickr and in short what I'm doing is only using Facebook and Twitter for so called ephemeral content - text, pictures that I don't care if I lose.

If you put stuff in Facebook, it's even more silo'd than it is in Twitter.
However, if you put stuff in WordPress, even on wordpress.com, you have full fluidity. You are not silo'd. You can get data in and out using widely-supported APIs that are implemented by Drupal, Tumblr, Posterous, Movable Type, TypePad, etc etc. At least there's some compatibility. And in a pinch you could probably move your content to a static website and have it be useful.

Alternative to Google
In case I want to try out a search program that is not google or bing,
Here's another search engine that just might do the trick of keeping me away from my usual search habit . I'm not sure if I'm going to really try this one out - just awfully addicted to google - but I just might use it for a while.

Keep Up the Pace
I like the fact that I can actually just walk briskly to get this benefit rather than having to jog, or do anything more strenuous. And I gather the key is to keep it up for about 40 minutes or so at a time. I'm up to something like that when I walk around the neighborhood listening to podcasts as I go.

Job Prospects
A great Robert Reich piece clearly explaining yet another example of how Republican policies won't help the country.
Amplify’d from robertreich.org
“Job-killing regulations” is a silly phrase that substitutes for real thought. And it’s a distraction from the hard work of creating more jobs in America.

Supply Side Economic Looking Sad
As usual Robert Reich make a clear case for more government spending, not less. He wonders why the president talks about encouraging innovation...
