Bridgings 
Ask for neither forgiveness nor permission.
| | Bonus link #1: Renee's notes from the Making Money session at Bloggercon. |
DinnerCon
| | We talked about conferences in general, and kinds of conferences we might like to start ourselves. I suggested that Jay and Zack start "RosenCon", saying the name sounded like a law firm. Jay said it sounded like a crime. There was general agreement that the name alone made it cool. |
| | Trader Vic's food was quite good, by the way. Better than I expected. Historical note: It stands in the place where the most famous restaurant in Silicon Valley history — the red roadhouse called Dinah's Shack — stood for decades. Among many other ventures, Fairchild Semiconductor (which later spawned called Intel, plus countless other companies) was born at Dinah's. |
| | After BloggerCon I (Oct. 2003) I said: that was fun, a cult of bloggers. After BloggerCon II (Spring 2004) I said: that was fun, a community of bloggers. At BloggerCon III it felt like a nation of bloggers was getting it together (well, half a nation, the blue half.) Maybe BloggerCon IV should be global somehow. |
Fee speech
Tell Dan
| | Frankly, (pun intended) your mockery of the Blogosphere only belies your ignorance of the technology and its formidable capabilities. So have fun taunting us Frank, but mark my words. As more people get computers with internet connections and Blogs become even more popular, come next election we will be driving the news. Dinosaurs like you will find yourself left behind merely 'reporting' it or sitting on the sofa with the rest of them. Join us or be obsolete. |
Look North
| | Spaceweather.com: Look for Auroras NOW. They're being spotted as far south as the Carolinas. Here's a gallery including shots taken last night (tonight as I write this, in California) in Utah, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Colorado, Maryland, Minnesota, Indiana, Wisconsin... |
| | [Later...] Greg Hughes read the above and got to see the Northern Lights way down south in Oregon. He elaborates here, complete with a picture. These mean they were also visible south of there as well. When you're looking at an aurora, you're seeing curtains of light that may be up to a thousand miles high. That's why they can be visible far to the south of their positions (which constantly shift) over the Earth. |
