George snapped this one of me recharging my iBook, Tuatha de Danaan, with his power outlet:

J.D. Lasica posted a bunch of great photos at New Media Musings. I'll get around to posting my famous patented blurry / "action" photos when I get a moment free (ha!).

Reminder to self: I still have George's power strip and power cord.

Posted from Boston.

I actually got locked into the baggage claim area at Logan this morning because I was blogging and was totally oblivious to my surroundings!

On this day in 2003

One year in Blogistan: Today is Radio Free Blogistan's first birthday, or one-year anniversary, or whatever you call a blogday. I started RFB on July 25, 2002. Cheers! I've just added Brad Choate's MTOnThisDay plugin and cranked it up to 11, to list all posts from the previous year on the current day (if any).... (Nanopublishing)

Comment spam: Scot Hacker's getting the comment spam (such as a link to a zip-code lookup service) at his Birdhous blog and he thinks he knows why: So essentially someone is hijacking my comments system (and probably lots of other blogs' comments systems) to abuse Google's algorithms.... (Weblog Concepts)

Wondering about Gnomedex: So, Gnomedex is underway. Have there been any good reports yet of the proceedings? The Gnomedex Updates blog is a little behind the times. I went over to Dan Gillmor's eJournal but so far there's just some reminiscences about Iowa and a note that his talk was left out of a... (Blogosphere)

Blogito Ergo Sum: Still thinking about the last post. Sometimes all this blogging sounds tinny to me: like the barely discernable voices in that dust speck shouting "We are here! We are here!"... (Weblog Concepts)

Writing != Typing: It occurred to me today that the way I write by hand is very different from the way I do it with a keyboard. I'm not just talking about the mechanics here, although that plays in to it. I'm lefthanded. Writing longhand seems to bring out a kind of writing that... (Weblog Concepts)

Coincidence? (NY Times): The same day the press release about Salon and Userland runs in the Times, the Q&A column in the Circuits section answers that most basic of all weblog questions: How do I start one?. (Link requires a free registration.)... (Weblog Concepts)

On Blog Interoperability: When they started discussing this experiment on the Well, my first post to the topic there was about the interoperability of these blogs with other formats. As someone with a painful proliferation of blogs ranging from a personal diary at LiveJournal to a number of topical blogs running on Blogger and... (Weblog Concepts)

Blog Books Pro or Con?: I was talking to Bill Pollock, the "maverick" publisher of No Starch Press yesterday over lunch in Potrero Hill, pitching him a few titles that some of my author clients would like to write and idly mentioning a few of my own book ideas. When we got to discussing blog books,... (Weblog Concepts)

A Picture That Won't Choke Your Browser: Here I am, just a few weeks ago, in my home office: x When do we get to see Ken Lay doing the perp walk for looting Enron?... ()

Damn!: Damn! Those are much too huge. Apologies. Will fix...... ()

Experimenting with Pictures: (hiding the pix—they were much too big in the raw) (UPDATE 2003: unhiding the pix - let them bloat the archive page... -ed.)... ()

First time using Radio Userland: How do I make titles for my blog posts? [Asked and answered, thanks.] OK, why am I starting another blog? My first weblog was breathing room started in 19987 when I was burning out after four years of trying to manage a collaborative noncommercial webzine (Enterzone), and it was all BB... ()
