It is 80 degrees outside. The sun is shining and I am sitting inside, sneezing, coughing and sipping on DayQuil.
There will be no updates today - and possibly tomorrow.
I am going to sleep a lot.

Is Technorati Keeping an Eye on the Technorati Train
April 21, 2007 | 1 Comment
The newest meme to come out of the dirty underbelly of blogging (=PayPerPost/ReviewMe/RentMyBlog/PayU2Blog etc.) is the Technorati Train.
HomeMom3 here has jumped on it.
Basically, it is a system that games the Technorati Most Favorited List. Why does this make a difference? Because it games a good system, just like the fact that all the PayPerPost bloggers […]

I have been thinking to write a review of Particls for a while but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Christopher Woods has, so if you are interested in cutting down the time you waste reading RSS feeds, you should read his review and see if Particls is for you.

Media 2.0 vs. Web 2.0 = Adam Curry vs. Dave Winer
April 21, 2007 | 1 Comment
[danger - this is an angry, very rambling post of a flu-infected blogger]
These two guys will never get tired of their disagreements. In the latest installment of this sage, Adam Curry reacts to this piece by Dave Winer (which I commented on yesterday).
Curry basically tells us of the great things he has done for podcasting […]

I am glad to see I am not the only one who thinks MySpace News is a waste of bits.
Pete Cashmore lists his reasons:
1. Why no comments?
2. Needs widgets, or other integration with profiles.
3. Search?
4 . Spam. Maybe I’m being only harsh about what constitutes spam, but I found some items that were hardly news. […]

Dave Winer (in reaction to this piece on Valleywag) explains why podcasting sites can’t compete againt iTunes:
If I were Evan Williams or Adam Curry I never would have invested in the systems they invested in, even before Apple came in to the market. I put my stake in the ground when both these systems launched. […]

What To Do With Cho’s Videos?
April 20, 2007 | 1 Comment
Release them. Put them on YouTube. As I said earlier, I was surprised Cho didn’t put them there in the first place.
I fully agree with Dave Winer, Doc Searls and Jeff Jarvis that we live in an age now where NBC should not hold any power over what, when and where we can see anything. […]

Looks like things are pretty dismal in the US Air Force. Seems like this email went out to all students at my university today. The email I received went to every student whose last name began with LA - not even as a bcc. That’s some pretty sloppy spamming.
Here is the email (click on thumbnail […]

MySpace News
April 19, 2007 | 7 Comments
So MySpace now has a social news site - and it is bad. Really, really bad. Of course, MySpace features about a million examples of really bad design, so this should not come as a surprise. Besides, I am still not quite sure what this site does but aggregate news from other sources and lay […]

Tomb Raider?
April 18, 2007 | 3 Comments
I guess it is only a question of time before somebody will blame video games for the shootings at Virginia Tech. Looking at the pictures, the first thing I thought of were the Tomb Raider games. The poses are very similar to the ones in Cho’s pictures. But the, I guess you could find poses […]

Those New UMPCs Are Looking Good
April 18, 2007 | 1 Comment
Josh Bancroft of Tinyscreenfuls.com points to a video shots by some of his co-bloggers at Intel during the Beijing Intel developers forum.
If this is what the next generation of UMPCs look like, I could be tempted. But then, isn’t this what the next generation of cell-phones looks like as well? Are we going to see […]
