Google: "News archive search provides an easy way to search and explore historical archives." I spent a bit of time ego-searching, it's very interesting, too bad a lot of the good stuff is behind paywalls, esp the NY Times and MacWEEK. Time Mag has an open archive.  

NY Times: Silicon Valley to Receive Free Wi-Fi. "The project will cover 1,500 square miles in 38 cities in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and Santa Cruz Counties, an area of 2.4 million residents." 

ReadWriteWeb on Doug Engelbart's Hyperscope 1.0, a modern web app. Its native file format is OPML.

In preparation for PodCamp, which starts on Friday (with a party at Berkman Center), they're getting together an archive of the first podcasts. I'm honored that the very first one is an interview Chris Lydon and I did at Berkman, on July 8, 2003. It's actually a pretty good one!

From Gayle Cline: "We are creating a memorial garden spot on the ranch, so if anyone wants to contribute potted plants, or memorabilia, they should have them sent here." 

Tim Bray: "Craig was a good man." 

According to the Wikipedia page on Craig Cline, Dale Dougherty of O'Reilly credits him with coining the term "Web 2.0." 

Meryl Evans: "The term came to life when Dale Dougherty of O'Reilly Media brainstormed with MediaLive's Craig Cline."
