It’s too damn hot to write anything substantive.

• DARPA Chief: Titanium is the Next Internet. What’s next, after the networked battlefield?
• Internet Vote-Swapping Legal, Says 9th Circuit. Naderites, unite!
• Beautiful blogad. Henry Copeland is in wuv.
• Google News Now Has Feedback, Editing and More Risk.
• Mitt Romney Triplets Take On Obama Girl in Attack Ad. Micah is not amused.
• Man Behind Anti-Spitzer Site Denies Bruno Link. The power of a random pissed-off dude.
• Watch Out for Paul at the Ames Straw Poll. Speaking of…
• New Version of I’m With Fred Website Launches, and Todd Zeigler is a proud parent.
• Cheap Point and Shoot Video Options.
• Who Was the First White House Blogger? They STILL can’t get the smell out of the carpet.
• Caroline Giuliani Is The #1 Hottest Search on Google. If I betray my father, can I become famous, too? (Sorry Dad, this is business).
• Who Died and Made IT God? Fight the (really nerdy) power.
• Second Life Economic Collapse To Offer Preview Of Real-Life Economic Collapse. “It’s like Somalia, but with less small-arms fire and clan feuds and more big-breasted furries and forty-foot-long penises.” Now THAT’S a party.
• ActBlue continues to dominate…for now. David All points to a story on the Dem fundraising site, pimps Repub alternative. Best of luck on that.
• Blogging While Female. Crime, travesty or dangerous trend?
• News Websites Using Web 2.0 to Attract Online News Readers.
• Ontario and UK Governments Shun Facebook (for different reasons). Don’t trust anyone under 30.
• I hear it is very cold…in space: nerd-cool site of the day. A Peter M. Vallone recommendation.
