For Mike Arrington: The mystique of desktop web serversPermanent link to this item in the archive.

Paolo explains a "gotcha" of desktop web servers. He makes a good point. But there's a yin to every yang. The problem with remote "managed" servers is that sometimes you can't get to them when you need to. It's becoming less of a problem, but sometimes the connection goes down, or the server goes down. And sometimes you go somewhere where there's no wide-area Internet, like on an airplane. This is why people who travel a lot, like Scoble, like to have all the data on their laptop, available to them whenever they want it. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Esther Dyson is visiting the part of Florida I was camped out in in 2004. It's magically beautiful; her pictures capture that.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

This may be the best blog post ever.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Crunch becomes the name of a network, with the launch of MobileCrunch. I had the same two questions about this as I did when I heard that Toni Schneider was joining Matt Mullenweg's new company. 1. When is the IPO? and 2. Can I get some founder's stock? Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Scoble explains the difference between his evangelism and Guy Kawaski's. Scoble's method works better. I'm tired of hearing about your religion. I'm not that way. I think computers are tools, not causes. My use of the computer, that's a cause. Apple has never incorporated that into their philosophy. They pay lip service to it, but in the end actions speak louder than words. Doc Searls still has the patent. "The influence of developers, even influential developers like you, will be minimal. The influence of customers and users will be held in even higher contempt." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named pill_viagra.jpgI found a simple way to explain how it feels when women say disparaging things about men. Take all the genders and flip them. When you talk about old guys on Viagra, talk about old women going through menopause. Instead of saying the man can't get it up, say the woman is on the rag. And instead of a woman speaking, assume it's a man.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
