Remains of the Day, 10-03-07


1. I’m not sure I’d have picked the name Dipnote for a new blog from the State Department (a play on diplomat no doubt), but then, Wide Open was not a top choice for me either. They’re employing two bloggers – but I use those terms loosely – both bloggers and employing.  I don’t know any of the specs beyond what’s in the WaPo article.

2. I’ve written before about Deborah Solomon and how, even though I love reading her Q & As in the NYT Magazine, I’ve had some trouble with them.  Well, seems I’m not the only one with troubles about her.

3. Now, some major info about foster care came out today and I just could not find the time to give it its due.  I’m certain that the papers will be covered with coverage of it, but here are some resources and blurbs for the late night owls:

a. Children’s Rights came out today with “the first-ever nationwide, state-by-state calculation of the real cost of supporting children in foster care.”

b. Go to this map and click on whichever state you’d like to study.

c. Ohio did ABYSMALLY.  Read more here at Capital Blog (who gets the hattip about the report) or read the pdfs from the map.

4. “It’s a Conversation, Stupid: Blogs, Wikis, Social Networking, UGC and Journalism”  I didn’t attend, but here’s an interesting summation and reflection on it about and by those who did. Amy Gahran writes about the same event here.

5.  What’s it meant to have Creative Commons exist? PJNet’s Leonard Witt writes about Lawrence Lessig’s review of its existence here.
