Paul’s predictive powers are amazing. Free, ad-free Skype was good while it lasted. Their “forward-looking statement” neglects to mention compromises in favor of (assumed) continuing product proliferation.
And then there’s SocialText (“wiki meets blogging” – let’s hope he’s not too prescient with that too? I haven’t got to play enough! :-/ I’m sure he’s not intending to sell Dexus for a buck. A euro, maybe.

Dear Mr. Bush:
Any idea where all our helicopters are? It’s Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.
Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren’t there to begin with?
Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of
Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn’t want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don’t like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!

Todd’s new band has some CD’s if you wangle and beg for ‘em. His site, by the way, is shaping up quite nicely: onlineanthology.
My blog was compared today to eat22 and also to the blogger in the Doonesbury strip for pure banality.
