Hugh MacLeod on why everyone reads Micropersuasion. 
Steve Gillmor is always giving us new ways of looking at things. For example, there are two Offices. One is called Office Live; then the other must be… :-)
John Furrier: “Around 15-20 million people are accessing podcasts on iTunes.”
Niall Kennedy: “My parents visit a blog to find the latest news from my brother’s base in Iraq, but they have no clue they are reading what some people call a blog.”
I had lunch today with Marc Canter, we talked about a lot of things. I admire Marc’s passion and intelligence and good vibe, and I even like his anger. He and I both got screwed hard by Apple, but I use Macs and had an iPod in my pocket at lunch today. Marc won’t spend a dime on their products. I’m probably one of the few people in the industry who support his stubborn insistence that his dollars matter. I gave up that battle a few years ago, when my readers gave me an iPod as a get-well present. What the fuck. You think Steve Jobs notices the money I give him? Would he miss it if I didn’t spend it? No of course not, to both questions.
I started working with Amazon S3 today.
David Bianculli got an early look at next Sunday’s West Wing, and he spoils a bit of it, but it’s probably worthwhile listening to his review. Sounds like a kickass episode, and maybe I was hasty in my judgement of how they used Leo’s death in the show plot.
Rex Hammock: “Sharing audio is something we do all day long via the phone and I don’t have an opening theme-song before each phone conversation.” Hmm. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could?
Rene Blodgett: “If you could change genders for one week, what would be the first thing you would do?”
Amyloo is drying out after a fire in the upstairs apartment. She interviews the cat.
Tonight’s Lost was most excellent. How many layers of fantasy are we dealing with?
