I know, it sounds so archaic, believe me, I know. But even blogging geeks like me still sometimes have &#8220;non-blog&#8221; pages as part of their blogs, or, have pages that were created years and years ago before the blog ate the main part of the site.</p>
<p><strong><font size="4">The problem with those old pages is that they aren&#8217;t interactive without comments, right? It&#8217;s foolish to not attempt to keep the conversation alive, even on old non-blog content. How can we solve this issue?</font></strong></p>
<p>One solution would be to convert your old static html pages over to blog entries and back date them. That&#8217;s a lot of work. Or, instead, you can find an easier way to bring the comments to your static html.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.jimkukral.com/images/jskit.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Check out an amazingly simple, yet very powerful script I found last fall called <a href="http://js-kit.com/">Js-Kit.com</a>.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>JS-Kit.com allows you to add dynamic functionality to your own site.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong><font size="4">It doesn&#8217;t get much simpler than that does it?</font></strong></p>
<p>Want to see it action? I made up a <a href="http://www.jimkukral.com/awesome_comments.shtml">sample static html page</a> that has a YouTube video on it. Then I inserted the simple line of code below the video, saved the page, and wella!, instant comments. </p>
<p>Try it for yourself, <a href="http://www.jimkukral.com/awesome_comments.shtml">visit this page and leave a comment</a>. If you use your real email address, it even sends you updated when anyone else comments.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/11/29/quick-embed-code-to-add-comments-to-any-site/">Techcrunch has an archived write up</a> if you want to read more.</p>

Say it with a scottish accent, emphasis &#8216;crap&#8217;, it&#8217;s fun. Seriously, what is the big deal with this? I just don&#8217;t get it. Yeah, it&#8217;s cool looking and all that, but can it teleport me to Japan, or can it launch me into space or is it just a stupid phone with some audio/video stuff built in? </p>
<p><img id="image87" alt=iphone.jpg src="http://www.jimkukral.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/iphone.jpg" /></p>
<p>Answer: It&#8217;s a stupid phone, that&#8217;s overpriced and won&#8217;t even be used by hardly anyone who isn&#8217;t either a super Apple fan-boy or some tech-gadget geeks. C&#8217;mon, it&#8217;s like $500 bucks people, and that doesn&#8217;t even include your monthly Cingular bill and data rates.</p>
<p>But&#8230; I&#8217;m not naive enough to really believe all that I just said. <a href="http://www.techmeme.com/070113/p8#a070113p8">It&#8217;s VERY obvious</a> (watching Techmeme coverage) that people do care about this, after seeing the onslaught of online chatter about this over the past week, you&#8217;d have to be crazy to not believe that for some reason people really care about this.</p>
<p>I suppose a lot has to do with the Apple brand. For me, it&#8217;s just a fancy phone, big f-ing deal.</p>
