Notes from last night’s party 
I had a wonderful time tonight. Met so many wonderful people, most of them women. Lot’s of bonding. No bad vibes, not even a teeny bit. I loved all the attention.
Maryam Scoble: “There are rooms full of beautiful, smart and smiling women here at Blogher.”
It’s so true Maryam. For example, when I had trouble getting online yesterday, it was Zadi Diaz who helped me figure out what was wrong. Man, I think I must have died and went to heaven.
A great picture of Steve Garfield, Amanda Congdon and Zadi Diaz taken last night.

Cool idea re: familyoralhistory.us.
I registered the domain familyhistorypodcast.com a couple of years ago, with vague intentions of doing something similar in my copious free time.
I’d give it to anyone who’s interested, and who promises in good faith to actually use it to post/host for sharing and preserving family history stories. There are so many people interested in family history and geneaology these days, this could be a really cool resource.

Yes, and it would be great to use a OPML list as a family tree builder. It would give the “family historian” a break to pass on the job of updating new “folders” as they come online
