- Attention Bunny
- When Robert Scoble reported on our late night conversation after the Berkeley meat-up Monday night, I briefly panicked when I realized he had really gotten what I've been talking about with regards to attention.

- Times they are not a'changing
- Rojo to fix bugFrom Rojo's Chris Alden on the Rojo blog:Steve speculated that perhaps the "Times doesnt want server-based aggregators such as Bloglines and Rojo to consistently allow permalink access beyond seven days."

- Back in the USSR
- Nick Carr is truly the gift that keeps on giving. His latest can-opener concerns the alleged Google strategy of converting all reading interfaces to search and keyword (i.e. tagging) interfaces. Nick's genius (I think he is the leader in the post-dvorak world of meme-baiting) is to keep the bile churning...
