Today's Country Music
I'm sitting at home on a Saturday morning writing this column while listening to the "Hillbilly at Harvard" show on WHRB, Harvard's student-run radio station. The show is on every Saturday from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. and is one of the best radio shows of its type anywhere. But after 1 p.m., it is really hard to find reasonable country music in the Boston area. The local station that claims to be a country music station seems to pride itself on not playing any song older than its listeners and, based on the banter of the announcers, assumes the average listener is about 7 years old. This is a real letdown after the announcers on WHRB.

Bradner's column: Tetherless in Adelaide, Australia
I just got back from the Internet Engineering Task Force meeting in Adelaide, Australia, where I went fully wireless for the first time. This stuff actually works, but can be a great distraction.

Bradner's column: Unexpected nonresult
The US Federal Advisory Commission on Electronic Commerce seems to have been an Epiphany-free zone. The problem of deciding how to, or how not to, apply taxes to Internet-based commerce now moves to Congress, an organisation well-known for its ability to think logically.

The information is only just coming out, but it seems like there has been another massive theft of credit card information from an e-commerce site.

Bradner's column: Playing Games With the Future of the Net
More than a few people made a pilgrimage to Tokyo on the first weekend in March. Most of them were only after the most realistic way to cut up a monster and see blood splatter. But at the same time, they may have seen a big part of the Internet's future.

Bradner's column: Religious conversion or pain avoidance?
It sounds good. Kevin O'Connor, the CEO of DoubleClick now says he made a mistake in planning to violate Internet users' privacy and, by the way, they never actually got around to doing it. But, to me, this looks far more like pain avoidance than religious conversion.
Guest column: Conversations in cyberspace?
I had a very interesting and philosophical conversation the other day with Kon Leong, president and CEO of ZipLip.com. He stopped by my office during a press tour to talk about ZipLip and its services.
