Megnut explains, unwittingly, why walking on a crowded street in Berkeley is so frustrating for a New Yorker. People literally walk into you. It happens over and over. They just don't look. How do you avoid collisions? I haven't figured it out!  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Lance Knobel: "I saw the other day that Dave Winer laid claim to being the first Davos blogger. I'm pretty certain I have prior art." Oooops, sorry about that. Correct statement would have been "among the first.." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Steven Cohen of Library Stuff explains the PubSub reading lists. "Remember when you saw the Yahoo directory for the first time and was amazed by the number of different sub-directories there were? Reading Lists can be the same thing, but automatically updated in your aggregator." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I went to a geek dinner in SF tonight, spent a bunch of time talking with Om Malik, Kevin Burton and Matt Mullenweg. Matt told me that WordPress.Com has a blog stats page for every weblog, I had never seen it, but when I got home I checked it out, and it's pretty cool. FYI, the post that got so many hits on Jan 12 appears to be the mystique of desktop web servers, and rightly so.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named curly.gifI talked with Matt and Scott Beale about how happy I am that Flickr is still free, and I was very pleased with how generous Yahoo was to let us use it without ads. They looked at me strangely and asked if I had a Pro account, and I said I did, it was a gift from Stewart. Then they told me that's why I didn't see any ads. Ahhhh. I guess when I point to something on Flickr y'all see ads? Uh huh. Oh. Kay. Now I'm slightly less pleased than before. (Postscript: The ads don't appear on my Flickr pages when other people view them.) Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A screen shot shows what ads on Flickr look like, for those, like me, who have never seen them. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
