Please come be creative here.

It is well known that making stuff that engages your creativity releases neurochemicals that can be related to happiness, satisfaction, and feelings of belonging. This artist's high is what I want to encourage by letting you riff on the tabblo I made last summer. Just start editing below and have some fun You can do it without leaving this page— if you are not familiar with Tabblo just click the "Make a variation" link on the lower left and have some fun!



Next week, I plan do place a postcard editor here so that you all can send me postcards through it. Think of it like blog comments on speed.

Google already owns my blog store and my email store-- why not add my photo store to it.

Hello there. I am posting some more stuff here after having the whole thing bail on me while I did it on IE/Windows.

This is a test post and I want to go and grab some pictures from picasa and get them up here.!

Hey this is me here. I like this

Im looking for a solid history of blogging but all I get from Google are a ton of sappy social science babble about why the phenomenon occurs and how it is Durkheimien in nature. How about just a solid history?
Though it claims to be incomplete, I like this post . It makes Dave Winer look like a me-first spoil-sport, but hey we can't all be perfect.

doc searls is even using OX and liking it . What is going on here? With all of us being seduced away from linux by the prettiest Unix ever, what is going to happen when Steve Jobs has his next little fit and screws us over again?

Having recently tries Userland Radio, I was reminded of this great content syndication idea from 1999 that I thought had been killed by Netscape's own incompetence, RSS-RDF . Its nice to see it thriving albeit among a small but dedicated crowd.
I am amazed at how few really competent aggregation services there are out there for RSS feeds. My favorite one at the moment is Meerkat by O'Reilly. Meerkat is cool because it provides a web front-end for people who just want to get at the news, but it also provides a nice XML-RPC interface which should lower the costs of adoption for application developers. Now if O'Reilly only made the process by which they select the feeds more explicit on their webiste, we would all be able to trust them as a sort of web-service of aggregation and write our applications without having to worry about which RDF version this-or-that feed is coming in with.

Last weekend's football game (the second I've seen all season) reminded me of when we used to think up cool ways to make the net able to enhance our spectator experience. Though the climate is far from accomodating to startups in the space any more, its nice to see that there are still people who think that there are things that can be done with wireless and spectator sports.
Now if only we could get fantasy football working in real time over 802.11B during a game at the stadium?!?

Just saw that AT&T is trying to take down NAT . Well guess what guys? The horse is out of the barn-- and there is preciously little that you are going to do about monetizing the extra computers on your network-- especially at $5/computer/month.
Instead of using this dumb cable approach to making more $$ from your infrastructure investments, why don't you look to adding value by new services from creative companies for which you could charge money in such a way that subscribers would gladly play?

This afternoon we went to the new apple store in the CambridgeSide Galleria to see the iMac and to generally check out what they have going on over there. The light was a bit eerie but it gave us the opportunity to get these nice pictures.
Now its back to work to update our existing customers to Servio version 2.0

Here is a little playlist we listen to a lot at the office when the weather is gray and people are getting down in the dumpy...
I dont know what the Spanish band is all about-- the tracks were given to me second hand off of Napster.

I am trying a quick second post to my blogg. Last weekend, I attended a 60th birthday party for my father-in-law which was quite a bit of fun.

I have my guitar debut at the party. Hopefully someone got an audio recording of it so I can hear what it sounded like.

This is the first post to my blogg.
