Apparently there's a podcasting conference at Duke University next week. Just heard about it. Oy.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Ed Cone, a leading blogger who lives down the road from Duke in Greensboro, is first hearing about their podcasting conference, less than a week before it happens and after registration is closed. What's going on over there, and in the blogosphere, that we're hearing about an important event like this at such a late date.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Had a great visit at Yahoo yesterday. Can't say what I saw. Can't wait to talk about it publicly, but I have to.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I got an email from someone I don't know asking how I rationalize getting a preview of a Yahoo product privately and confidentially, when I criticize Technorati for having an semi-secret totally private "summit" about issues of public importance. I guess I just explained what the difference is. I get private product briefings all the time, and it's important to be able to learn what's coming, and to be able to provide feedback and guidance before new products and services are publicly availble. I agree it's a fine line, but life is filled with fine lines. Your mileage may vary, etc, etc. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

For example, I'm learning all the time how we're all paying a high price for Apple's reluctance to trust leading podcasters prior to releasing iTunes with podcasting support. They reinvented so many things. It's possible they didn't know that we had already worked out ways to do the things they reinvented. I didn't even know they had a product on the way. Now we have to live with those mistakes, probably for years.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A Berkeley vignette Permanent link to this item in the archive.

On an elevator yesterday in Berkeley, a man with t-shirt that looked like a school shirt for a state university -- it said "College Dropout." I asked if he was really a dropout and he said no, he goes to UC. Down a couple of floors and another young man gets on wearing a t-shirt saying, in large capital letters: "I fuck on the first date." He gets off a couple of floors down. I turn to the other guy -- I was going to ask if it was true, but I wasn't sure I wanted to hear the answer. We both laughed. I said I'm going to blog this for sure.
