Here's my Wiki Wiki Blogroll Editor. Have fun! 

Newsweek: "The newly named dean of Columbia's journalism school outlines his plans for the program." 

Photos from dinner tonight. Marvin and Gloria Minsky [1]. Book agent John Brockman and Harvard physicist Lisa Randall [2]. Minsky and I went to the same high school. Great to see Brockman in the new context.  

Mitch Kapor announces the release of Chandler 0.1.

To everyone at the O'Reilly conf, best wishes. See you at the next one, from your friend on the east coast.  

Coming later today for Manila -- spam-free mailto. And next after that is a neat browser-based blogroll editor. For fun I may let y'all edit the blogroll on my test site. Kind of like a Wiki-blogroll thing. Hehe. (Postscript: Ready for play.) 

Blogroll: "The section of a weblog that lists the sites that the blogger reads on a regular basis. This is usually located on the side of a blogger's frontpage, or on a separate page linked off of the frontpage." 

Doc Searls coined the term blogroll on 12/17/00. In looking for this we both realized Google was missing a feature. Find me the first use of a word on the Web. It seems they could do that. Free idea. No patents, please. Thank you. 

Roland Piquepaille: "Would you use a vertical keyboard?" 

Checking in with Syndic8. Today they announced they're tracking Creative Commons use in RSS. And the pie charts continue to show that support for RSS 2.0 is growing. 

Today is the Boston Marathon. I was here a few years ago during the marathon, staying in a hotel overlooking the finished line. Does the marathon go through Cambridge? Harvard Square? It doesn't. I can't imagine what it would be like driving around the area today. 

Dave Pollard: "A couple of weeks ago, I posted, and e-mailed to about fifty Salon bloggers, a six-question survey asking Salon/Radio users for their opinions on the product, and on the business of blogging in general. I received a dozen responses."
