- Perhaps its serendipitous that, in the process of "personalizing" installations of Linux and Unix, one of the oldest and most oft-used utilities is called "make." The power of self-making things clearly wasnt lost on Tim OReilly when his company first started publishing Make Magazine. Today, Web 2.0, if you want...

- Guttenberg's wake
- Doc Searls points to what strikes me as a shallow exercise in self-congratulation by Vanity Fair, How the Web was Won, an "oral history" of the Web told by a select few, whom VF considers winners or power brokers. As Doc says, its "far from Compleat History," but the real...
