Last night at the Geek dinner - people scoffed at me - when I mentioned VloggerCon 2005. Fucking cynics.
This is gonna be fun. No tech agenda, just video nerds talking about content and how to stay alive while waiting for the ‘end-user content revolution’ to happen - when they all get kept alive by […]

Congrats to the folks at Creative Commons on shipping a stable client side tool for attaching Creative Commons licenses to your media and uploading it to the the Internet Archives.
Now we gotta keep track of who’s uploaded what, share those files, set up communities and eventually establish our own marketplace to buy, sell, trade or […]

Merry Christmas, all.
It’s been a pretty quiet year for me, nothing like 2002 (when I created PyCS, bzero, the blogging ecosystem) and 2003 (the Topic Exchange). I’ve just quietly been tweaking things, maintaining what I already have done, and concentrating on work.

….identity needs a Dave Winer: an independent developer and free-range technologist who tirelessly advocates something that will work for everybody — and for users and developers diggin’ together. I’d like to name names, but I’d rather see somebody step […]

I’ve been waiting a bit to see what our bloggers thought about Marqui.
There have been a few stumbles (mainly my fault) but we’re finally looking like a real program now - so I can let you all know preliminary results:
Lucas Gonze - at least tried to try it out and is discovering that […]

OK - so I didn’t mark this exactly with an October 12th anninversary - but it was 10 years ago that Dave Winer first ‘blogged’ me - rapping out my Marc’s 10 Things.
In honor of this auspicious anniversary - I’d like to comment on or update many of these claims on things that the media […]

And so it came to pass that the Thursday night (Dec. 30th) dinner be held at Chaat Cafe - in the shadows of Moscone - only a block away from Lulus. A virtual upheavel erupted after my absurd suggestion to have a party at Lulus.
