OK - so I’ve been to NYC and Europe spreading the micro-content meme and now it’s time to bring it home.
Hunan on Sansome - the location of many an infamous blogger, Atom and multimedia dinner - will be where we convene.
JD Lasica will present OpenMedia (now called ourmedia…..)
Hopefully somebody from the nascent OpenEvents world will […]

Here’s what I’m gonna say at the Web 2.0 workshop Jason Fried and I will be giving on Tues. Oct. 5th at 10:30. Please come. All the schmoozers will be out in the hallway - but Jason and I will be rapping about Lightweight Business Models.
If you’ve never seen Basecamp or heard Jason […]

Many people have asked me “where’s your FOAF file? And I haven’t had a good answer for them - up until now.
Sure I had handrolled my own FOAF, like the rest of them and I have FOAF files associated with my TypePad and LiveJournal accounts - but they’re just testbeds - not my native […]

My own digital ifestyle is scattered between accounts, machines, locations and different agendi.
So when my main machine goes down - heaven help those who stand between me and a functioning machine. So today it was the nice man at CompUSA in Pleasonton - who helped me get back on-line and happening.

Mine sucks and it just crashed for the third time this year. I’m pissed.
I got my XDrive account happening, lots O backups - but this is totally absurd. Now I get to see if CompUSA will honor the warranty I paid $300 for - as your supposed to get […]

It’s ugly.
It’s fucked up.
Lord help us if it gets any worse. Verizon (despite their Cory Doctorow look alike campaign) are stone fascists. This is gonna catch […]

I missed this coolio Nokia design while I was on the road. God bless the lord of design. May she live on in this male dominated world and mean everything.

Today is Flickr day.
I’ve finally have had time to play with Organizr, read up on Esther investing, juice some relationships, refine some ideas and grok the Flickr APIs.
Needless they’re a model for ALL personal media servers.
This notion will be personfied in the OpenMedia APIs (more on that later!)
In the mean time - here’s the latest […]

Lucas Gonze brings up a good point about Anselm Hook’s recent efforts at creating a ’social engine’.
He points out that - even though this may be the one time where using rdf is entirely appropriate - as it’s designed to “pivot complex objects on shared features” - however it’s also true that in social software […]

I just received this comment from James Tauber:

More on Aggregation Versus Hosting
