My WSJ debate with Scoble about innovation & Microsoft.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Dan Farber: "The fact the two friends and rabble rousers are debating the topic in the bastion of business reporting, the WSJ, is a good sign that big media is not just inhaling its own fumes." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Berkeley friend Jeff Ubois appears on The Scoble Show. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Jon Udell interviews the director of the University of Michigan library technology department about their deal with Google. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I'll be in NYC the last week of the month, returning to SF on Jan 2. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named fedex.jpgI received a Fedex package that was addressed to someone else. If it was the postal service, I'd just write PLEASE FORWARD in big black letters and drop it into a mailbox. But it's Fedex, and I know from experience that trying to call them is like hell on earth. Their voice system is set up to get you to go to their website, where you can send a package or track a package, and everything else is impossibly difficult. It would be a lot easier to just drop the package in the trash. What should I do? Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named scobleUbois.jpgBTW, according to Amazon, the package that I paid extra to have delivered yesterday, still hasn't left their warehouse. I know I can call them, enough people have sent me their hidden customer service number, but I'd prefer to bitch about it here on my blog. so after giving it some thought, I called. They were helpful, refunded the shipping charge, but the package still hasn't left the warehouse.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Bret Fausett: "If we all started calling those MP3s we send over the RSS feeds Zunecasts, how long do you think it would take Apple to retract its trademark claims on podcasting?" Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Fascinating discussion on the Yahoo blog about their broken TV listing site. At least they have the courage to hear from real users. I think they should, if they can, restore the site to its former functionality, and then carefully re-approach the upgrade, with a small group of users giving feedback every step.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
