Search me 
| | [Later, before crashing for the night] Somebody also pointed to Vivísimo. Here's the same search as I did on Teoma. Check out the directory in the left pane. Both are sorta like Northern Light, with this directory of folders holding additional takes on results. Interesting how NL's results for the same search (for me) rank my Weblogs highest. |
Night of the Living Marketplace
| | I had heard Cosource was dead, yet people have been following links from there to here. So I just looked back in the other direction, and it seems still to be quite alive. Unlike SourceXchange, which has passed on. |
| | I was quite taken with both of them when they first came out. |
The McPherson Corollary
| | Conversations are people, Frank says. Good rant. |
| | [Duh Dept: a reader just wrote to point out that Frank said corporations are people. What I did here was what the shrinks call a "gestalt substitution." Anyway, it was not a joke or a play on words. It was just a fuck-up. And what the hell: The correct reading makes it an even better rant.] |
An ad hoc blog summit
| | With a beautiful view of San Diego harbor out the window, I'm relaxing in a hotel room with Dave and Craig, talking all kinds of fun trash. |
Why signify when you can technify?
| | The rest of what I heard this morning was said between lines right out of BuzzPhraser. Between that and the usual advisory boilerplate, I had a strong sense that there was good stuff somewhere in there; but ...what was it? |
| | One example about a subject that (trust me) actually matters: |
| | Directory serivices are information designed to mitigate the congintive costs associated with community membership and to help coordinate behavior among community members. |
| | Later the same guy said P2P was "an admission that we are not alone in the world." But then he went on to contextify this insight with something about "transactions." |
| | I'm reminded of Garrison Keillor's line about English being a "preacher's language" because "it allows you to talk until you think of what to say." |
| | But hey: I'm still listening. |
Divided we schmooze
| | So it turns out that the two conferences I'm attending this week are a lot more simultaneous than I thought they'd be, and are not across the street from each other. The O'Reilly Open Source Convention is by the airport, while The Burton Group's Catalyst conference is by the harbor, about a $12 cab ride away. |
| | Now I've got to figure out how to make the most of both wihtout blowing a pile of money on cabe fare. After I get some sleep. It's 12:20am. |
Score one for the penguin
| | Fun to read Phil Hughes adventures in Linux advocacy in Costa Rica. I have to get down there one of these years. |
