If you happen to use multiple services then you will see the utility in bringing them all together in one place. If you don't happen to use these services then don't worry about it.

Journal Journal: Firefox Plugins - NPAPI
Here is a letter I just sent to Mozilla regarding their plugin API:
Hello,
I was just at the Mozilla plugins page and when I clicked on links to the NPAPI documentation I got a message that my connection to:

Journal Journal: Unmanned War
A while back I engaged in a thread about unmanned combat. I asserted an argument by way of a flippant comment, as can be easy to do on Slashdot, and inevitably, I drew a sharp, but deserved response. Even in my reply-to-the-reply I tried to be more thoughtful of my remarks, but I was
Journal Journal: To Honor MLK...
...I must answer the question, "What will I do?"
How can I help to promote dignity, respect, freedom, and opportunity for all, and especially for those who struggle to realize these values? What can I do to help eliminate violence as a means for overcoming struggle and conflict?
I do not know the answers. But I will remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. because he knew the answers and I will pray that his answers will be revealed to me.
Journal Journal: The XML Revolution, OOP, and Natural Language Computing
You can't do anything on the Internet anymore without running into XML. For that matter, more and more user applications are exploiting/relying on XML. XML is used for everything from the bulky, pretty front end to the lean and mean back end. One need not go far to be convinced of both.

Every day I get a quote from the Bible sent to me in email. Today it said this:
Woe to you lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering Luke 11:52
Perhaps deliberate, this is a most timely quote. (During the war in Iraq, all the quotes were, of course, about the coming of the end.)
Journal Journal: Moderation
My one motto in life is "all things in moderation." I'm not sure, but I think that's an oxymoron. "All" is an extreme, just as "none" is an extreme. I guess that's about right though - I believe in the philosophy of all things in moderation, and I believe in this extremely so.

Journal Journal: No, We Are Not Doomed Yet (I Think)
I've been thinking a lot about Sheldon Pacotti's recent article on Salon. When I first read it I was compelled into a lengthy feedback that never really got out the door (i.e., it's still my "Drafts" folder waiting to be finished and sent). But then I thought I could sort of just work it all out here, perhaps over a couple of blogs. So, I guess that's what I'm going to try to do.
