Blogher kick off @ Radio Free Blogistan

July 30, 2005

Christian Crumlish

Sounds like last night was fun. Finally got the wireless working on my Mac. Sadly, I brought the camera but not the memory card, so I won't be able to post pictures (except via the phone).

Already meeting a lot of cool people. It's great to be in a room that is 80% women. I will be practicing listening and shutting up today.

Friends seen already this morning include RFB contributor Liza Sabater, Mary Hodder, and Halley Suitt.

Starting with survey results from the registration process. Responders don't want just talk but want practical take-aways and two-way dialogues.

On this day in 2003

Random quickies: Adding jwz, noting Tinderbox 2.0, blurbing an RSS article, thinking about Mediajunkie.com (Miscellany)

All Jon Ames all the time: It's a small web but I wouldn't want to paint it. Yesterday I get notifed that Jonathan Ames, a friend from way back, will be appearing on David Letterman (again) tonight (Wednesday, July 30). In that message he also mentioned that his website has been updated (I liked his old Flash... (Memes)

On this day in 2002

Blogging Not "All That": To some people the flourishing of the blog meme is annoying. It's not just the sound of the word, there's also the ascendancy of a certain model of writing on the web. I've sometimes mentioned my breathing room experiment and how it was a sort of daily (if possible) meditation. An... (Memes)

The Case Against Blogging: Sometimes you have to do something fully before you decide you do not want to do it. Browsing around today led me from diveintomark to zeldman and ended up reading burningbird's farewell address. Despite a spelling peeve of mine ("compliment" where "complement" is called for), she makes a very interesting point... (Memes)

PEP (Personal Expression Platform): For several years now I've been slowly spec'ing out an ideal personal publishing platform for posting a peck of pickled peppers.... Uh, sorry. No, actually I mean a system with a well designed content database at the core and a great deal of flexibility both in how to submit content (client,... (Best Practices)

Media Junkie Update: New at Junk Mail since the last update here: A prescient blast from the past (The Onion on Bush's inaugural) Bill Moyers defends his ethics and NOW Salon wonders if Harken will become W.'s Whitewater Possible U.S. coverup of Afghan wedding disaster SEC never "exonerated" Bush Salon Blog: Bush Impeachment Countdown...

Info Outranks pr0n!: This is meta-meta-blog stuff so I'm keeping it off the home page, but thanks to another link from the widely read Dave Winer this blog is racking up more hits today than the pornoblog, at least for today.... (Salon Bloggers)

"Market Fundamentalism": I'm starting to notice this term (market fundamentalism) cropping up more and more from the left. Did it take severe accounting scandals and a precipitous drop in the Dow to bring forth the idea that this flavor of absolutism has become gospel on the right? Speaking of the scandals, I remember... (Memes)

Vanity Domain Names?: I noticed today that Scott Rosenberg's blog can be reached by pointing to http://rosenberg.salon.com/ as an alternative to the serial-number address we all get. Is that a perk for Salon employees only, I wonder, or is there a way to make that possible for us, the great unwashed? I'm thinking blogistan.salon.com... (Salon Bloggers)

"Blog This!" for Radio: One thing I love about doing blogs is the troll effect. If I post something incorrect or incomplete, someone is sure to come along and hip me to the truth. There are already a few comment to the Radio/Blogger comparison I posted last night. This one (from Roland Tanglao) corrects my... (Weblog Concepts)
