Gas from the past 
 This was 30 years ago. Maybe 29. Not sure. In any case, more than half a long life.
 Among those pictured is Celeste Wesson, in the front row. She went from WDBS (the partial staff of which that picture shows) to a long career in public radio. Last summer she was named Senior Producer for Marketplace.
 
Toy horror story 
 From The Horror of Blimps: A LARGE SILENT MENACING PRESENCE WAS APPROACHING ME OUT OF THE GLOOM, AND IT COULD FLY!!! Funny.
 Thanks to Stu for the link.
 
More dead distance 
 I was on the phone with Kevin Werbach a few minutes ago, talking about decentralization, the theme of his Supernova conference, when a new word came to me: demediation. I just wrote about it over in IT Garage. Yesterday we made comments visible there, so feel free to leave some.
 The piece sources something I'd missed until it came up in the conversation with Kevin: Clay Shirky's Gothamist interview from about a month ago. Good stuff there. Go read it.
 
Whydentity 
 Eric Norlin: The Net's Gettin' Messy, on CNet. It was on ZDnet earlier, but this time it has Eric's picture. The gist:
  The Net's sense of anonymity (or rather, its sense of physical location as a proxy for identity) has been "good enough," to this point. But as the Net becomes more integrated with business systems and with the components of our everyday lives, it is essential that the Net retain its greatest strengths and evolve to meet the challenges of identity.
 
TV will fail 
 Phillip Swann, whose column TVPredictions.com serves as something of a blog (but without syndication, so far), predicts that Moxi will fail. Context: he also predicts that TiVo will succeed.
 Noncontext: Moxie succeeds as well. From her latest:
 This afternoon I ran through the sprinklers in my bikini with Ashcroft. We spent the day editing his first children's book entitled: "Your Mommy Wanted to Abort You, but I Wouldn't Let Her....and other Bedtime Stories."
 My prediction, somewhat exaggerted, is in the headline. Details later, somewhere. (I've already said my piece(s), to some degree, here and here.)
 Bonus yawn: Al Gore and his new cable network.
