I didn't know Matthew, but I had several friends who knew and loved him, and played music with him, and loved his playing. A page at Scot Hacker's Birdhouse blog has become the de facto tribute page for Matthew.
Several of us went to see Mike Watt in San Franciso on Saturday and when told about the accident Watt dedicated his encore to Sperry, a fellow bass player and cyclist.
There was a musical memorial at Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland, and there is a memorial concert in the works. Hacker has also now set up a dedicated memorial web page for Matthew at matthewsperry.org:
matthewsperry.org. Registered and set up matthewsperry.org on birdhouse hosting. Very raw for now - design and lots more content coming. But posted immediately the call for witnesses and info on the upcoming memorial concert. The concert info has also gone out on PR Newswire and is all over the net - here it is on Yahoo! ...

In the meantime, off the air, I found solace in posting via Radio and Blogger even when I knew the publishing action would fail, and hanging around the Well more.
Forgive the extensive cross-posting. I'm just trying to push out all the categories with current posts.

Never get there on time. So I’m falling behind on testing Textpattern and while I like the spigots idea is it still too complicated for me to wrap a less dynamic not-really-a-blog page idea around?
Or do I need to push it up a notch. Does the output side of PEP require a more XML to infinity and beyond! approach a la Ftrain? Will I ever get a grip on XSL? Is that all just a distraction from writing?
And what about the input side, speaking of spigots? Why so hard to flow RSS back into new blog entries elsewhere (oops, I don’t mean blog but just perma-archived-nano-content-bitlets)? Fancy version of pMachine does it but something about that system not have way with me. For the more potentially collaborative projects (such as mediajunkie) where the personal part of PEP (personal expression platform) becomes less important, a solution like Drupal may be the bomb that out daisyclutters the various *nuke implementations.
These and other stray thoughts will never be followed up upon in any clearly discernable way, not without Paul Ford’s memex-building pathway moss-covered three-handled family impresarienza, and in the end this post will merely serve to repaint the x-ism page at xianlandia.com and trickle through to the moth-eaten radio free blogistan outpost.

Maybe this will help me convince my Kurdish friend Delshad that there's an audience for more than just one Iraqi blogger?

This post (Jabber and Decentralization) prompted me to save this blog entry.

I liked this piece by Dave: DaveNet : New York Times Archive and Weblogs, but as with all revolutionary visions, I find it to overstate the new equilibrium point, which I suspect will not be entirely in favor of unibloggers and to the disadvantage of organized newsgathering entitites.

Jaber Qazem was buying a copy for his family, thinking they would prefer it to their usual favorite ÷ the Rambo films starring Sylvester Stallone.
"Saddam is even more interesting than Rambo," he said. "He is the Rambo of Iraq."

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.
