Different look
I have just modified the style sheet slightly. The previous was displaying incorrectly in IE, it seems to work fine on FF and IE now.
ABC "People of 2004" – Bloggers
ABC have done what Time Magazine chickened out of – named bloggers as the people of the year. I have a copy of the show on my server. You can download it here (4.2Mb WMV)
Dan begins the move
Dan Gillmor, who I had the pleasure of meeting in London 2003, has begun his move from the SJ Mercury. His new blog can be found here.
Tsunami Videos
Cheese and Crackers just got hit with 1.8 million visitors looking for Tsunami videos. Many of them are BitTorrents, but he also has WMVs, MP4s and ASFs. Many of the visitors seem to be coming from Drudge. Some of the videos give you an idea of the size of the waves – many of them I had not seen on TV news. He also reports that many bloggers are being hit with huge bandwidth bills for hosting that amount of content, including punditguy, who got $1000 bill.
Update: It seems this is getting more coverage. It should be noted I noticed Cheese and Crackers topping the Truth Laid Bear traffic listings. Malachy Joyce dropped me a mail with a roundup.
2005
It’s here…and to think I started blogging in 2002. Feck.
