Scripting News, the weblog started in 1997 that bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

Betsy Devine wonders why she can't be more like Adam Curry. Hmm. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

At John Battelle's search-focused weblog, rumblings of a new search engine called Dipsie, and a search engine transplant at Yahoo. Could there be choice in search soon? That would be welcome. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

New header graphic commemorates the kind of meetings that are commonplace at Buck's Woodside. Pictured are Jamis MacNiven, Jimmi Johnson, myself and Marc Canter in 1999, talking about websites, or something like that. I was probably having a Chorizo Scramble. Jamis, who owns Buck's, picked up the tab. The food was good. The meeting ill-fated, like most of the meetings held at Buck's before the bust. According to NPR business is good again. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

News.Com: "The RIAA picked up the pace of its legal attack on Net music swappers Tuesday, filing copyright infringement suits against another 531 individuals." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Howard Dean: "I still have some hope of being the nominee." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named jamis.jpgYesterday I heard a report on NPR about Silicon Valley where they got two easy facts wrong. Facts, not in question, like Jamis MacNiven's name and what town Sand Hill Road is in. These mistakes would not survive on a reasonably high traffic weblog. And it makes me doubt all the more that the other information presented is accurate. I prefer getting news from blogs more and more, because of the lack of conflict of interest, and for the deep vetting that goes on here. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Paul Boutin: Inside Baseball vs Outside BaseballPermanent link to this item in the archive.

Lots of new feeds from Apple. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Pictures of Brent and Sheila taken last Wednesday from the back seat of their car while Sheila was driving. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named benMena.jpgFour years ago today Manila Express shipped. Here's a funny story about that. I had breakfast in Seattle about a week ago with Brent and Sheila Simmons. The waitress was something else, when I walked into the restaurant and said "I'm looking for some friends," she said "That's so cool!" I fell in love, on the spot. Anyway, Brent and Sheila weren't there yet. I picked a table. She said "That's a great table!" Brent and Sheila came and we talked about lots of stuff. Eventually somehow the subject came up that their faces were on the logo for Manila Express. They told me that when Ben and Mena met Brent and Sheila they said "Oh you're the people on Scripting News." I said I would put B&M's pic on SN so they could say the same thing to them next time. Done. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Thanks for those who sent good wishes on the WIRED nomination. It's great to know that there are some high-roaders in this community. It can be hard to hear them over the din created by the negativists. Onward! Permanent link to this item in the archive.
