Re: categories v tags in WP?

i think i have to ignore categories then, which is what mostly i've
done for the last 4 years. because, for example, the quickpost stuff
in teh new 2.7 admin UI just has tags, no categories.

Matt, thanks for replying, and you're right that I should be more
careful in my language. What I should say is that I do find the law
discriminatory and, more important, counter-productive to a society
that needs people to commit to each other and care for each other more
than ever. I find some of the *campaigning* to be hateful and
fearmongering - and to be less than the careful discourse we should be
having in America.

I understand and respect that people will have legitimtely differing
opinions in this - and, yep, we will let the electorate speak. That's
why the title of my post is merely what I've done and why.

Anyway, you were right to make me be more specific here (and I can be
more specific still if you want to see the printed material sent to my
house that I object to), so hopefully this will help my post make more
sense.

he's not an america-hater; read what he's written. quite the opposite.

This is an absurd point of view, based on much mis-information. I have
a general policy not to delete comments on my blog, and won't delete
this one, but will say that this is just an incredibly ill-informed
position and leave it at that.

Hi Tom - I'm sorry you had this experience, for sure. Mozillazine is a separate group from Mozilla -- they're a community that's grown up that does a lot of writing & communicating & supporting Mozilla-related products, but they're not quite the same as Mozilla itself. Anything in particular you need help with?

There are a few that I've written about here -- although some aren't business books, strictly speaking. For standard business books, I liked Dealing with Darwin, by Geoffrey Moore, and all of his books are important to read so that you understand the basic lingo that a lot of people use. The Starfish and the Spider is another book kind of like that.

For behavioral economics, I've liked Freakonomics and Predictably Irrational. Made to Stick by Chip Heath is a great marketing book. Bob Sutton's books are useful, especially the ones about evidence-based management.

I think Tom Friedman's recent work is great for understanding some of the global dynamics of the business world, as is Fareed Zakaria's new book, The Post-American World.

The Search, by John Batelle, is a pretty interesting way to learn about Google.

And Regional Advantage, by Annalee Saxenian, is one of the most important books ever written about Silicon Valley culture. (What the Doormouse Said, by John Markoff, is also great, but different.)

Those are just the ones I've read/blogged about over the last 4 years or so that I particularly liked.

Re: trying out disqus for comments

that's my plan -- i'm sort of obsessed with all the persona-related
connections joi's got on his blog, so want to sorta collect it all
here. will start doing that sometime; it's why i started moving to a
different theme. fwiw, getting a friendfeed page will give you what
you want in terms of your lifestream, i'm pretty sure.

thanks! trying to make it look closer to joi.ito.com, but thinking i'm going to do it very slowly unless i enlist some help or publicly shame myself by moving to halfway done state.

wow, that's interesting -- i hadn't noticed that. e-mail responses to
comments that will then get threaded is pretty neat. i'm really liking
disqus, even with some rough edges.

I think I do have styling control, but need to take some time and look into it a bit -- really first off just wanted to see if it would work or not. I know I should care more about styling, but just for the moment, I was caring more about the threading capability. Will play with it over the weekend some.
