Random Notes

Beth is back blogging at a new locale. Those of you who were at Gnomedex last year know who Beth is, since she spoke. The rest of you will just have to go this year and meet her. (Thanks to Doc for the pointer.)

Speaking of Gnomedex 3, I also see where Scoble’s going to be there this year. He’s been stirring up a bunch of really interesting techie/business stuff over on his blog lately, you should be reading it. I’m still holding out some hope that I’ll make it to Iowa this year, and I’ll get to sit and talk to Robert about some of his ideas. 🙂

Karlin Lillington agrees with me:

“Hmmmm, well, whatever about Google News, it seems to me that a lot of newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations also routinely publish/broadcast items that are basically just rewritten, unquestioned press releases and government statements, which also aren’t clearly distinguished from ‘actual’ news articles…”

Exactly! (link snagged from Dave Winer)

Ok, gotta run, lots of things on my plate today, so I better get to it!

  • This Blog Post Was Not Written Using AI

    I’m online to connect with other real people and the ideas that live in their heads. I write to share those ideas with others, but I also write because writing helps clarify my thoughts and ideas. It’s practice for the many times I find myself needing to go into more detail and flesh out ideas in front of other people. Asking a chatbot to write this post wouldn’t give me mental exercise. It would remove the challenge of figuring out what I want to say and how I want to say it.

    SafeWeb users are vulnerable. Oh the irony. Should we start calling them (not so)SafeWeb? *L* The Register is baffled by ICQ “hack”. Was it hacked or wasn’t it? You be the judge… Trillian version .725 is out, the latest in the AIM connection wars. Why aren’t the Olympics over yet? Haven’t we had enough drama,…

    Been another crazy busy day today, but I think I’m in good shape as far as being pretty well caught up so that I can tackle the stuff that I know is coming my way when I’m back in here on Monday. We’re off after work to visit the in-laws in the land of dial…
