Dave Pollard has put together his cut at what blogging tools ought to be able to do from an average user perspective. While Dave is anything but an average blogger, this is an interesting line of thought.

Everyone has their own specifications for what they'd like blogs to do. Advanced users, comfortable with the technology and able to tweak their blogs to do some amazing (and some silly) things, are quickly leaving the rest of us behind, and there are millions of others who took a quick try at blogging, threw up their hands, and gave up.

This article is an attempt to create a scorecard of what blogs can and cannot presently do, and what they should be able to do. The objective is to spec out a blogging tool that is better (more useful), faster and simpler, at next to no cost. [How to Save the World]

My 15-year old has started some heavy lobbying for HDTV to enhance his sports viewing habits. It isn't likely to happen anytime soon, even though I did offer to match him dollar for dollar for anything he managed to earn. I'm still inclined to think that we're still a bit early in the technology adoption cycle, but now I have some initial reference material to add to the pile.

Guide to buying a high-definition TV.

ExtremeTech has a handy guide to buying a high-definition TV that makes at least little bit of sense out of the increasingly byzantine world of HDTV, digital TV, and flat-panel displays.
