A Reader Writes...

I almost feel like I have to click on you, just in the hopes you can outscore 'pornographers picks.'

My reply: Thanks, although I hope I can attract readers based on my content, too! I see I lost ground to the pornoblog over the weekend. Well, when you're number four you try harder! I'm not antiporn, btw. I recommended the reverse cowgirl's blog recently, and I'm fully aware that porn has been the killer app for every medium since cave painting. (Hmm, I typed "cave panting" there first time through. Cave pantsing?)

Speaking of which. I hear that Google displays current search terms in real time in their office lobby. I assume they have a cussword filter on that?

Free associating, I'm starting to notice Google searches for "Dreamweaver MX serial number hack" in my referrer log. (I directed that link to Matt Brown's Dreamweaver Blog, per his request.) I guess if it's not pr0n it's warez

Maybe I should this blog's name to Radio Free Live Nude Warez. I should ask JOHO if that will get me onto Daypop's top 40. Noticed Ken had a piece on the return of aliens post 9/11 in the Sunday Chron. Good stuff. Apparently he has a book coming out about aliens. He sure uses this blog medium well. The (paid) newspaper item was good, but his blog is better, and it makes me want to read his book(s).

Do journalists make better bloggers than the average Joe or Josie? (Deliberate Bill Safire imitation—please don't hit me.)

Back to that mail:

p.s. - Exians have anything to do with BOB?

I am not now, nor have I ever been, a subgenius, an illuminatus, or a follower of eris; nor an extropian...

What is the line from Repo Man? Something like this:

Harry Dean Stanton character: You're not a communist, are you?

Otto: No way!

HDSc: I don't allow no communists in my car... No Christians, neither...

AOL vs. LiveJournal: Much ado has been made recently about AOL blocking LiveJournal referrers. Some think it is a misguided attempt to deep linking or bandwidth-stealing (linknig to hosted images). Other see it as a preemptive strike against the most likely competitor to AOL Journals. Ross Mayfield ponders both interpretations and more, gathering a... (Blogosphere)
Follow up on Dean and software: Dana Blankenhorn has written a long reply to Dave's criticism of the Dean campaign, and I'm still a little confused. Is it that the Dean team should not feel free to develop and promulgate technical solutions to their own specific problems? How is that different from any sovereign entity doing so?... (Products)
What software is Dean selling?: Where did Dave get the cockamamie idea that Howard Dean is in the software business? Is it based on the modified version of the open-source Drupal CMS called DeanSpace that some Dean supporters are distributing for free to encourage people to build sites for Dean that will generate and aggregate RSS...

Seybold schedule update: It appears my WOW mini-session on RSS, RDF, syndication, and content dissemination is being rescheduled. The new timeslot is Thursday, September 11, from 2:30 - 3:00 pm. My bad. My session on syndication was not rescheduled. It is still on Tuesday, September 9, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. What was rescheduled... (Weblog Concepts)
