New Proxim AP

Proxim, our wireless vendor of choice, has released a new access point model today, the AP-700. I haven't nailed down what's new and different about this unit yet, but to me, it looks like an AP-4000, only with either 802.11b/g or 802.11a, but not both. Why I'd choose this, rather than the AP-600, is unclear right now, but hopefully I can get one to play with after my return from Russia.

Got Blogs?

While in Russia, I'm giving a presentation on weblogs. Here's the title: "Weblogs: The Changing Face of Academic and Political Discussion Online"

It's going to be a fairly short talk, as they translate it into Russian in real-time, thus reducing the amount of time I'm going to be blathering by half. I've already got some sites selected to showcase in my presentation, but if you've got a favorite political or academic weblog that you think is important or interesting, and worth a mention, please post it in the comments below, and I'll add it to my talk.
