What an great day!
Lots of great sessions and panels. Julie Leung’s stands out. Julie apparently bops around gives those sort of talks all the time now.
It was totally amazing.
We’re checking out of our hotel now and walking across the street to have a big dim sum meal - with the Leungs and 50 […]

He’s wearing a tie. I guess he felt we needed him to look pretty. He does.
He’s talking about how he reads 1,000 RSS feeds a day. He’s using NewsGator.
DISCLOSURE: I also use NewsGator.

There’s Suw Charman - too.

One of the fathers of XML (who now works at Sun) is on stage here in Vancouver at Northern Voice.
He’s talking about blogging - and going over the basics. One thing he said which is right on - is that you should start a post off with something specific and migrate it to something […]

Legend has it that this old guy - Tojo - is the guy who took the world beyond plain old tekka-maki, etc.
He has a killer place in Vancouver named Tojo. Lots of celebs eat there. We enjoyed a wonderful meal - served by knowledgeable, friendly hosts. Uni sashimi was probably my favorite.
Needless to […]

The home of Bryght and Marqui - Vancouver is a wonderful city.
This is our view out our hotel window.
Time for Northern Voice!
Seb Paquet will be here. Stephen Downes too.

I’m hoping for a more exciting photo than this one - posted in london-eating.

in town.  As is so often the case the guests to my city  had
a better idea of where to go than me.  They remained calm as I
proceded to lose my bearings around Carnaby St.  Somewhat
fortuitously […]

At the end of the day - when everyone else goes home - it’s true friends that show up to help you clean up.
So it was to my delight that the few folks flowing through my ‘Friendster newsletter updates’ - really are real friends. Imagine that?

Friendster giving me helpful, useful, timely information. It’s […]

Well Phil Torrone got it almost perfect.
He launched Makezine - along with helping to produce Make magazine from O’Reilly and he got a flickr and del.icio.us presence happening - and of course the usual Technorati Cosmos - but where’s the WebJay playlist Phil?
Well congrats anyway to Phil.
We played telephone tag for about three weeks - […]

Steve Rubel apparently scooped everyone on the CNet aggregator story.
But Ross Mayfield has something curious to say - which I’d like to disagree with:

Branded aggregators make as much sense as private labeled browsers.

Dude - watch Rojo show you how to build an entire business model around private labeling aggregators. Watch aggregators from Yahoo, Microsoft […]
