  • Bill Gates: New Kid on the Blog?

    The Seattle Times reports that Bill Gates may soon start walking his talk and start blogging, following his promotion of the use of blogging and RSS for business during his keynote at the annual Microsoft CEO Summit last month. If he starts his own blog, he would be joining the ranks of [at least] hundreds…

  • CNN on Joi Ito on Blogs

    CNN has a nice article on Joi Ito, and Joi’s views and use of blogs. Among the most interesting highlights (for me) were Joi’s blogtime — 5 hours per day, including reading 190 blogs (reminds me of a NYTimes article on blog addiction I read about on Sean’s blog), his emphasis on the use of…

    Just read this in SmartMobs, which I assume is based on personal communication from the developer; there is more information in an article at The Register. Razvan Dragomirescu of Simeda writes: ” We have completed development for our Pocket Rendezvous project. It’s a web server for the Pocket PC that advertises itself to other Pocket…

Most significantly, WiFi.Bedouin facilitates the…

  • Cafe Solstice

    I’m making an effort to spend more time in different places, especially “third places”, beyond home and work (the “first” two places, according to Oldenberg), to situate myself in physical contexts where technology might play a constructive role in creating new opportunities for awareness and interaction among co-inhabitants. 47.65707120-122.31323815 Last week, I visited Cafe Solstice,…

  • Been There, Blogged That

    One of my goals in starting this blog is to blog in and about the places I visit or want to visit. I already started taking notes about some places I visited last week (before I worked up the aforementioned gumption to go “live” with this blog), and will be posting them here, retrospectively. It…
