When they disagree, the <i>time in the grid</i> is the correct time.

Phil Wolff and Dan Gillmor, who will be here tomorrow, were at that event. I wonder who else? It also will be much like the live sessions we did at Seybold in the mid-90s. One of those had over a thousand people. Craig Cline who was my Seybold rabbi, will be here tomorrow. All these events rocked. My sincere hope is that tomorrow's show comes off as smoothly, and is as memorable five and ten years from now. My guess is that it will. http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpblogslawhar.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpblogslawhar.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpblogslawhar.html#disqus_thread Fri, 03 Oct 2003 20:45:54 GMT We have an incredible team. <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/red/">Wendy Koslow</a>, <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/onbeingunfunny/">Erin Judge</a>, <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/geekroom/">Hal Roberts</a>, <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/geekroom/">Jesse Ross</a>, <a href="http://www.skybuilders.com/users/bob/bios/biopics.html">Bob Doyle</a>, <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/teadams/">Tracy Adams</a>, <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/dowbrigade/">Michael Feldman</a>, Catherine Bracy, <a href="http://www.sooz.com">Susan "Sooz" Kaup</a>, Maggie Cohen, Patrick Lewis, Lindsay Blohm. The law school came through and is letting us use WiFi! (Hal Roberts confirms that it works.) We've gotten fantastic support from the Berkman directors, especially <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/palfrey/">John Palfrey</a> and <a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/nesson.html">Charlie Nesson</a>. A special thanks to Wendy, for managing the conference so incredibly well and taking such good care of the speakers and participants; and to Charlie who's the founder and guiding light of Berkman. What an honor for me to be introduced by Charlie tomorrow. What an honor to be able to welcome so many cool people to such a cool place!

If someone points to you does that create an obligation to point back? Absolutely not. But if you, at some point in the future, find something on the other site worthy of a link, you can say thanks for the link by pointing to it. There's no reason for this ever to stop. Linking is virtually free, and good for you, like Vitamin C." http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpblogslawhar.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpblogslawhar.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpblogslawhar.html#disqus_thread Fri, 03 Oct 2003 18:15:56 GMT <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/bloggerCon/discuss/msgReader$620?mode=day">Griff Wigley</a>: "It was 22 here yesterday morn!

This is what I left behind. Did I do the right thing? Absolutely. The East Coast has been much better for me. If I ever go back to the West Coast, I won't go to "Silicon Valley." That's over. As they say, your mileage may vary. http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/iJustHeardAboutThisLtaHref.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/iJustHeardAboutThisLtaHref.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/iJustHeardAboutThisLtaHref.html#disqus_thread Fri, 03 Oct 2003 20:28:23 GMT For the record, I believe in the power of editing. I practice it myself. I have an essay I'm working on today that I wrote two days ago but held up so I could edit it with a fresh perspective. What I don't believe in, emphatically, is what comes after editing, and often is called editing -- <a href="http://scriptingnews.userland.com/2001/07/16#dumb">dumbing it down</a> -- the notion that some thoughts are too complicated for the audience. I quit the system that requires this kind of editing because, after editing, I was saying things I didn't agree with. There's no point writing for such a system, other than earning a paycheck. And they weren't paying very much, not that that matters. At Harvard, at times, when it might appear that I'm speaking for the university, I have to be careful, and I always get approval for those things. But most of the time, "voice of the individual" applies. And unedited, to me, means you're hearing what I think, not <a href="http://www.2street.com/cyborg/tphone.htm">group-think</a>. http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/forTheRecordIBelieveInTheP.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/forTheRecordIBelieveInTheP.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/forTheRecordIBelieveInTheP.html#disqus_thread Fri, 03 Oct 2003 14:15:16 GMT <a href="http://markbernstein.org/Oct0301.html#note_35110">Mark Bernstein</a>: "The mass audience can only hear the brutal, the stupid, the squalid -- the simplest messages of sensuality and fear." http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpmarkbernste.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpmarkbernste.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpmarkbernste.html#disqus_thread Fri, 03 Oct 2003 14:08:33 GMT Mitch Ratcliffe: <a href="http://www.ratcliffe.com/RatcliffeBlog/archives/001207.html">What is good about unedited?</a> http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/mitchRatcliffeLtaHrefquoth.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/mitchRatcliffeLtaHrefquoth.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/mitchRatcliffeLtaHrefquoth.html#disqus_thread Fri, 03 Oct 2003 13:24:10 GMT I added Mitch's piece to the <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/bloggerCon/directory/15/essays">list</a> of BloggerCon essays, it clearly belongs in the discussion. http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/iAddedMitchsPieceToTheLtaH.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/iAddedMitchsPieceToTheLtaH.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/iAddedMitchsPieceToTheLtaH.html#disqus_thread Fri, 03 Oct 2003 13:24:34 GMT <a href="http://www.buzzmachine.com/archives/2003_10.html#004775">Jeff Jarvis</a>: "I wouldn't blast them -- unless I'd ended up stranded on I-95." http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpwwwbuzzmach.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpwwwbuzzmach.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpwwwbuzzmach.html#disqus_thread Fri, 03 Oct 2003 13:34:27 GMT <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/bloggerCon/discuss/msgReader$616">Sara Wedeman</a>: "Because there are many, many voices, we have a chance to stumble on one that conveys a different view than our own." http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpblogslawhar.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpblogslawhar.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpblogslawhar.html#disqus_thread Fri, 03 Oct 2003 13:09:27 GMT <a href="http://www.decafbad.com/blog/tech/rss_data_versus_namespace_3.html">0xDECAFBAD</a>: "I'm really interested in seeing where this goes, because this comparison of RSS-Data, RSS namespace extensions, and even RDF seems like another very concrete, non-theoretical way to demonstrate the benefits and drawbacks of these ways of thinking about data and interoperability." http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpwwwdecafbad.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpwwwdecafbad.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/10/03/ltaHrefquothttpwwwdecafbad.html#disqus_thread Fri, 03 Oct 2003 12:41:12 GMT
