    Posted on August 11, 2004

    Eric Rice as proposed the first LobbyCon, to be held tomorrow night (August 12th) at 7:30pm in the W Hotel lobby in San Francisco. I guess I’ve been hacking too much, cause I almost missed this. Sean Bonner posted the initial idea as LobbyCon after BlogOn. I had much the... [Read More]

  • Tor - Anonymizing Overlay for TCP

    Posted on July 30, 2004

    I’m over at DEFCON listening to a presentation on Tor. The presentation is pretty interesting. The presenter is pretty funny at points. He’s using the term “sending a Guido” to paraphrase strong arming someone into giving you info they don’t want to. It’s an interesting turn of phrase. Plus the... [Read More]

  • BlogOn Expectations

    Posted on July 24, 2004

    BlogOn was yesterday, and I’ve let the issues percolate for a while before trying to write up what I took out of yesterday’s conference.

  • BlogOn Commentary

    Posted on July 23, 2004

  • Technorati with CNN at the Democratic National Convention

    Posted on July 22, 2004

    Weinberger picked up the post about Technorati providing blog information during the Democratic National Convention. The story has been picked up and spread all over the place by the blogging “in crowd”, but I figured I would spread it here also cause it seems like I have more of a... [Read More]

  • The State of Mapping

    Posted on July 16, 2004

    infogargoyle has a post about mapmaking, in particular the use of RDF to collaboratively define space. I’m surprized that a strong open source community hasn’t already started to form around mapping for mobile devices. Maybe it has and I just don’t know about it yet? I see projects like OpenGIS...
