Guidelines for panel presenters

Monday, January 17th, 2005

Steve Boback sent this around to the Blog Business Summit presenters. I thought it was pretty salient…..

Based on my experience, various critical posts made by attendees of previous blog conferences, and reading/listening to the transcripts and session recordings available from other blog events, I have some culled some guidelines largely based on comments from attendees […]

Vloggercon is booked - solid…..

Monday, January 17th, 2005

As I understand it - Vloggercon is booked solid.
That’s a trick many NYers do - make something look so coolio and exclusive that EVERYONE wants to attend.

Anyway - for those of you who can’t get in - feel free to come to Katz’s Deli Friday night at 7. We’ll be holding a “micro-content” […]

The day after my birthday

Friday, January 14th, 2005

My brother sent me this……
A chipper young feller named Marc
Came into this world for a larc*,
When he saw what was in it,
He said, Wait a minit,
I’d better go back where it’s darc.”

I found this in Dad’s stuff. […]

Thank God for Steve Gillmor

Thursday, January 13th, 2005

Steve is the only guy who reminds me of what it was like before….
Everyone else - from Dave Winer, Steve Levy, Dan Farber, Mitch Kapor, Heidi Roizen the whole gang - all all grown and matured. But Steve still reminds me of what it was like BEFORE Windows - back when Apple still had […]

Yes indeed - it’s my birthday

Thursday, January 13th, 2005

How do you get Dave Winer, the Trotts, AKMA, Loic and Jon Lebkowsky into the same room?
You have a birthday - and go to Joi’s blog to see your name there.
At least it’s someway I can get onto Joi’s blog.
Or maybe I just to go to Davos to see him there.
Either way - I’m honored […]

Monday, January 10th, 2005

Mamma is musing about it, Robin Good is bitching about it and Geek News has a recording of it.
Folks are earning their money in the Marqui blogging program.
And people are reacting - as well.
When they have something to say - they say it. When they like what they see - they say that […]

Predictions:

- real world, totally satisfying open standards shared servers will emerge around new kinds of micro-content. ourmedia.org will be the first.

The purity of the Lie

Friday, January 7th, 2005

Of all the commentary on Gates comments on ‘communism’, Dan Gillmor has the best.
As a thrid generation red-diaper baby - I welcome all you reds - but be careful - we’re entering into a new McCarthy era - and you all may be black-balled by the VCs.
