BBC: "Google has confirmed that an auction of its shares, which will proceed the firm's eagerly awaited flotation, will begin on Friday." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Today's audio blog post is about the faceoff between journalists and bloggers. It's in the air, coming up all over the place. In talking about it with people I've learned a lot. My story doesn't work all that well in writing, yet, so I did it in an audio post. Please listen. Thanks! Permanent link to this item in the archive.

2001: "Internet 3.0 will be a bootstrap." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Chris Heilman got an extremely urgent letter from John Kerry. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Scott Johnson is getting married. Who knew? Beautiful story. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named scottSon.jpgI listened to the latest Gillmor Gang on my walk today. It's always good, but this time it was a little low on quality. Two guys from Real Networks, answered every question by saying that they're open source so maybe someone else can do it. They also showed how not to do developer relations, when Jon Udell pitched his audio bookmarking idea for the 80,000th time (I can almost predict the exact words he'll use) they said they are very interested in developers. Hmmm. Just like when a girl asks you if you have a girlfriend you say you are dating ten thousand women but aren't really interested in any specific one. The girls don't go for that, btw, and neither do developers. When you have one on the hook, she's gotta be The Only One For Me. Ask Scott Johnson if he was proposing to a bunch of girls when his fiance said yes. Finally to Steve, okay it wasn't an interview, it was a conversation. Now, please stop calling everyone a player, and there isn't actually any space. Heh. Sorry. Everyone's a critic, of course.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named nyawk.gifArrived safely in NYC after a very eventful trip. Thunderstorms at JFK. We circled the eastern seaboard. Arrived six hours late, and were lucky. lots of flights were diverted to other cities. Traffic in and out of the airport was unbelievable. But all's well that ends well.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Good news about SP2 -- after running it, and then re-running Spybot and Ad-aware, the spyware appears to be gone. This is good. My machine seems to be running much faster too. Happy about that as well. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
