According to Steven Levy, Dr Pepper is using weblogs to promote a new milk drink called Raging Cow. Doc Searls is quoted as saying it won't work. I suppose it's fair, I quoted their I'm A Pepper song for the title of an essay I ran saying it's okay to be new at something. My song goes like this. "I'm a newbie, he's a newbie, she's a newbie, we're all newbies, wouldn't you like to be a newbie too?"

Okay today after listening to all kinds of talk about regimes in spectrum yesterday I'm getting back to the regime of moving today. If I don't get my ass seriously in gear I'm going to miss the whole spring semester in Cambridge.

But first some notes on the schmoozing at yesterday's conference. Yesterday I met Wendy Seltzer, who is also a Berkman fellow. She works at EFF in San Francisco, and manages the Chilling Effects Clearinghouse. We had a lot to talk about. I also finally met Dave Farber whose mail list I have been subscribed to forever. He's a very nice man. (I know I sound like Forrest Gump.) We took a walk together, and were joined by Amy Harmon of the NY Times. A beautiful spring night in California and what did we talk about? Bill Gates, of course. Go figure. One of the economists at my table at dinner last night asked if Silicon Valley had an obsession with Gates. I said yes. Then we proceeded to talk about him again.

Back to Wendy Seltzer. There was something familiar about her face before we talked. Later I realized that there is a picture above my workplace at Baker House showing Wendy bundled up in warm clothes, a cute connection to the Chilling parts of the Clearinghouse. Silly pics really work. They're memorable.

Okay next problem. I have to hire a moving company tomorrow. I need to have them here by Friday. I know that's impossible. But it has to happen anyway! Whew. But first, I have to go trawl for the news.

3/2/00: The Two-Way-Web.

Two years ago today: "To this day they think the battle over Java was with Sun, when it was really with the developers. Microsoft says they love developers, they live for developers, and at some level I believe them. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I don't think they have a clue how their actions cripple the developers."
