Can you spot the volcano in this picture of Puget Sound? Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Jeanne aims at Florida. The National Hurricane Center has an RSS 2.0 feed tracking the hurricane. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Dan Farber interviews Guy Kawasaki. Hey it's been years since I'd seen Kawasaki, who was a friend a long time ago. It's cool to be able to catch up this way. He hasn't changed. Still a smart guy. Excellent Permanent link to this item in the archive.

7/29/95: Evangelism as God IntendedPermanent link to this item in the archive.

BTW, October 7 marks the tenth anniversary of this little network of mine. There haven't been many days since 10/7/94 that I haven't put some kind of foolish idea on the Web. I often forget this anniversary, but I'm determined not to do so this year.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named pod.jpgI've been lurking on the ipodder-dev list, and have been totally impressed with how productive this community of users and developers has been. At the core is an activity they call podcasting, a really simple idea with powerful implications. Think of an iPod that can subscribe to audio feeds the same way a desktop aggregator subscribes to text feeds. Adam Curry, who's been feeding this community with his Daily Source Code programs, is a natural born community leader. He knows just enough technology to be dangerous, and doesn't mind asking questions. The community is on the cusp of shipping a polished and revolutionary product. This work will be visible at BloggerCon III, Adam is leading a discussion, and with any luck at least some of our sessions will flow out through the podcast network.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

News Hounds: "Even Fox News' own poll can't find George Bush's convention bounce anymore." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Mobile Blogging Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named grandpa.gifWe've got a discussion leader, and we're side-stepping the controversy over what moblogging is or isn't.

Our interest is blogging away-from-the-desktop. Pictures, audio, words, what else? How well supported are we in this activity? How safe are we? What tools, what devices do we need to make it really work?

To our discussion leader, who I will introduce later, let's discuss positive things we can do to direct vendors who are interested in this stuff, to create the products we want. Imho, that's an important function of blogging, to generate ideas that provide direction to vendors.

To people who feel they own the term moblogging, I can recognize an argument I don't want to have. So we're going to call this session Mobile Blogging and leave it at that.
