Diagnosing Al Gore: Truth in the Balance - Man Made Global Warming Debunking News and Links

As I've said before, I think Huber was right, the "environment is too important to leave it to the environmentalists." What I need is the facts to know what the situation really is, how much action is prudent to take, by when and by whom. Rather than take what Al Gore says at face value check it out. Have a look at this article for example. Or read the article by Mary Ellen Tiffany Gilder (yes George's daughter).

Wouldn't it be great if a commons database like Freebase had a peer reviewed data structure with the facts in it (as well as the assumptions in the models) so that anyone could see for themselves what was actually happening.

The Evolving Internet: A look ahead to 2025 by Cisco and the Monitor Group's Global Business Network

My employer (Cisco) published its most recent forward looking study of the Internet today. It's called " The Evolving Internet: A look ahead to 2025 by Cisco and the Monitor Group's Global Business Network " and although I haven't studied it in detail yet, I scanned it this morning and I liked what I saw. Those who know me will not be surprised that I particularly liked the three dimensional evaluation criteria that they used to frame their analysis. Lately nearly everything I do ends up finding its way into some sort of analytical cube like this. I've been wondering whether there is something wrong with me that I can't seem to frame things simply in two dimensions. Glad to have company.

Network Solutions is having a sale on URL's. Mine (http://www.douglasross.com) doesn't do anything at the moment (I'm saving it for a rainy day) but it was coming up on ten years and I needed to renew it to protect my name. So I decided to take them up on their pay-in-advance 20 year package sale for $279.00 or $13.95 per year (about half of the regular annual fee...probably not that good a deal in hindsight.) But the kicker was, after I hit the pay button it dawned on me that I'll be over 83 years old when this thing expires. How creepy is that? If I make it I'll take it as a good sign and re-up for another 20 years. And by then maybe I'll have done something with it.
