• Can I Get An Amen?

    Posted on March 22, 2005

    Mike Masnick lays down some excellent comments about the role of patents in high tech overall. I completely agree, so I’m not going to blather on for too long about it. I’ll just say I agree with a lot of the principles. Protecting people who contribute innovation and keeping their... [Read More]

  • New Site - Feedhacks

    Posted on March 21, 2005

    I setup a new site, Feedhacks to house a bunch of the projects that it looks like I’ll have coming up. I was going to wait a while to put it up, but I got an RSS inclusion plugin for WordPress working this weekend and wanted to post it. Release... [Read More]

  • Ourmedia Launch

    Posted on March 21, 2005

    I got a note from JD that Ourmedia is live today! The timing is great. There’s a lot of attention going into podcasting and videoblogging, and I think a free platform for sharable and reusable media could potentially help to shift the attention away from traditional broadcast and into the...

  • ETech Peeps

    Posted on March 19, 2005

    Most people blog about the famous people they run into when they go to confs like ETech, so I’m gonna blog about some of the people you might not know who I ran into at the conference instead, and some of the kick ass stuff they’re working on. [Read More]

  • Cyborg? Or Just Funky?

    Posted on March 18, 2005

    Nick showed up today with some funky running shoes that adjust in the field. Being a geek I just had to take some pictures. [Read More]

  • PhoneTags Music Bookmarking from a Handset

    Posted on March 18, 2005

    I just read about PhoneTags that BBC has setup. It’s an app that allows you to “bookmark” a song from your mobile and then go tag and rate the song later on from a desktop. Although the tagging and rating are cool, what has me really jazzed is the interaction... [Read More]

  • Rhode Island Government Press Releases

    Posted on March 18, 2005

    I made the Rhode Island Government Press Releases feed of the day at Feedster today. Because everyone should be intimately familiar with the goings on in the smallest state in the US? No, not at all. I put it up because I wanted to showcase a use of RSS somewhere... [Read More]

  • "Just" Use HTTP

    Posted on March 17, 2005

    I heard that the “Just” Use HTTP session by Sam Ruby was good (it was the first day of ETech, which I missed). Not to fear! The slides for the session are online. They talk about a bunch of issues that go in and around trying to use HTTP -... [Read More]

  • Excluding Sites from Feedster Searches

    Posted on March 17, 2005

    Gregory Blake is one of the latest to complain about all the garbage postings coming out of blogspot.com. That issue was part of the motivation for putting up the changes yesterday to detect result sets dominated by single sources. Of course that only helps if you’re using the website for... [Read More]

  • Coming Home from ETech

    Posted on March 17, 2005

    This is my post from the plane on the way home from ETech. It was just a day trip, so we’re headed back to Menlo Park already. It would have been great to hang out for longer, but there’s feeds to get indexed and tools to get written. I wanted... [Read More]
