This is a test to see if posting on the PeopleAggregator still displays on Marc’s Voice.
This shows off our ‘OutputThis’ web service.

I am so tired and bored of this, but I owe it to the audience to reflect a bit.
The obligatory NYTImes article has appeared, Ian Betteridge is still arguing how rightful O’Reilly is, FactoryJoe (Chris Messina) let it rip and made it clear where he stands as he states ‘BarCamp is a community mark’.
Denise Howell […]

Continuing the conversation, Ian Betteridge writes (in a comment):

Marc, look into the history of trademark laws and you’ll find all the answers you need. Trademarks laws are designed to protect consumers, not to ensure a revenue stream for companies. They’re designed so that no one can make crappy vacuum cleaners and call them “Hoover” (except, […]

Please read this excellent post by Raju Bitter (of Berlin and the German version of StructuredBlogging fame) on our strategy, my history and what its all about.
Thanks Raju.
Couple of details corrections:
- it was called MusicWorks - not SoundWorks
- don’t forget that we also put out Maze Wars+ and GraphicsWorks/ComicWorks!
- I’m sorry the white paper on […]

If I could remember long enough what I was just thinking through my ADD clouded rose colored glasses, I’d like to ask Steve Gillmor if I could suck up to him, help guide him through the corridors of ineptitude and participate in anything his Attention has long enough to focus on.
James Joyce may have invented […]

I accused Cory Doctorow of not speaking up regarding Tom Raferty getting C&Ded.
Cory later did - and so to the timing of said response, I was wrong.  He was traveling and as I often find myself, we are not able to get on-line - for awhile.
Turns out that I had sat there and waited for […]

WTF?  Someone at Buzznet fucked up.
How could you NOT keep Tony Pierce - one of the smartest, most talented, gifted, kick-ass bloggers out there - master with the camera and wit?
Anybody who can party with Heather Graham and mention me in the same blog post - is my kind of guy.
Apparently he’s available for hire.
I’d […]

Dave brings up some good points about the Apple decision- though I’m not sure how much we can really trust the courts.
Here in California we’re for gay marriages and legalized marijuana - but the courts are going along with the fascists in Washington - on a lot of these issues.
I really don’t care about Apple […]

Even though there are FAR more important things to talk about, I’d like to officially respond to BoingBoing’s Cory Doctorow’s response regarding O’Reilly sending a C&D to my friend Tom Raferty.
1. Cory says: “The dispute seems to have been resolved amicably” - puuuuleeeeeze!  Just go read what Tom has to say about that!  I wouldn’t […]

Speaking from one who was branded ‘biased’ by the so-called ‘democracy writers’ of Wikipedia - I have to say I agree with Nick Carr.  When I hung out with Jimmi Wales recently - even he and Joi Ito (who was also there) admit that their bio pages were branded biased.  This whole thing is bizarre - […]
