Bob Glushko is an original and deep thinker about structured information flows (think XML and its bigger relatives). And he’s smart. But he has a blog anyway. It’s called “Doc or Die” and shared with Tim McGrath.

- I gather that Trump's name came off the Kennedy Center after the courts rejected the ridiculous 11th hour attempt (unhinged brief not signed by career lawyers) to block it, but the work was done behind a tarp to block the cameras. Missed opportunity to sell tickets; might have raised real money. June 13, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- Seen at MIA in the TSA departures queue, this invitation to 'self-deport' in exchange for a $1000 per person and a free flight. Although I recall reading they don't necessarily deliver. In any case a sour taste for the start of international travel. June 13, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- In a strange way you almost could admire the Trumpies' leave-no-stone-unturned approach to graft. There is really no bottom. No limit. And justice is at best slow. June 12, 2026 Michael Froomkin

Michael is correct… yes, i do have a blog. But I have a good excuse. The “Document Engineering” book I wrote finally came out (see docengineering.com for sample chapters etc).
One unexpected consequence of writing this book was that last semester I was finding it pretty unsatisfying to teach my Document Engineering course at UC Berkeley, because a lecture that would seem synthetic and insightful when the book didnt exist felt like a rehash of the text now that I had put all those synthetic insights into it. 🙂
Seriously, it felt pretty cheesy to tell a class of graduate students to read Chapter N, Chapter N+1, … as if I were going through the motions like my junior high school history teacher who taught US History when he was drunk most of the time. We heard “Just read the next chapter and do the questions at the end” every week for the entire year. That’s how it seemed when I taught from my own textbook.
So I started working hard to find news stories, case studies, demos and other things that complemented the book. My students liked this extra texture and pestered me about turning this sort of thing into a blog, so I finally succumbed to it.
