When users flame.Movable Type users, predictably flame me for advocating a time-tested way of evolving software, explained by Don Park. In so many ways we're hitting the reset button on old practices that worked. Embrace & Extend is respectful. Eventually SixApart will want the respect, when an upstart (or an old fart) implements something called Trackback that doesn't work with theirs. Users, of course, don't have to understand this. But that doesn't mean it isn't relevant. And one day it would be great if vendors asked their users not to flame their critics or competitors. One can hope.
This subject came up yesterday at the Jupiter conference, about transparent companies, and how that relates to weblogs. Now understand that I do not today work at UserLand, but of course I am influential there. Weblogs, it seems, are somewhat about companies speaking their truth. Some bloggers, esp Kottke, don't get this. He often jumps on me for saying what I think. Jason, listen up. I'm supposed to say what I think. That's what weblogs are about.

Me on RSS? I'm still confused why the body of a blog post is called the description of a link.
Note, this won't appear until my server is up again, even though it will be timestamped when I post it.

Radio Free Blogistan is (mostly) the work of Christian Crumlish, xian for short. I am a writer, publisher, artist, and geek. I was born in New York and I live in Oakland, California. My personal blog is called X-POLLEN, my old home page still lingers at Enterzone, a quarterly published from 1994 to 1998. I am also a consultant (mostly content strategy, information architecture, copywriting, and brain surgery). I am also a literary agent. No, I do not have enough pull to get your first novel published.
The purpose of this "web blog" (that's a joke, son) is to document my efforts to research and cobble together something I call my Personal Expression Platform (PEP). I would be happy to adopt someone else's solution if it met my requirements and I were capable of learning it (*cough*, *cough* Paul Ford...).
I am a media junkie and a meme watcher. Once a Dead head, always a Dead head. Some of my sites have multiple contributors.
(Nearly everything I post to a weblog anywhere shows up here at RFB since we get the street traffic over here.) Consider reading or subscribing to the feed for one of this site's subcategories to read just the topics you want.
