Chris Wine: "The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese." Hmmm.

TailRank is a "meme engine," according to Kevin Burton.

Raines Cohen is also a meme engine. And the official poster child of this blog. Seriously. I've known Raines since he was 11 years old. He moved an apartment with a bed and a dresser from Oakland to Berkeley, on a bike! He's an extremist, an idealist, and an extremely nice person. And he dresses like a nut!

Today was a breakthrough day on a project I'm working on around Reading Lists. I wrote one hairy piece of code that I suspect many others will write (and I bet Nick Bradbury has already written). Had to take a nap after doing it. Whew.

Sounds like an interesting debate at the NY Public Library on Nov 17 about Google's plans to scan copyrighted books into their search engine. Heavyweights from the book publishing industry and Silicon Valley face off in a battle to the death. Just kidding. Will it be webcast? Podcast? It'll be interesting to hear why (if they can explain it) it's opt-out instead of opt-in. And why they don't have to respect copyright. Glad they're having the debate in NYC and not Mountain View.

On 12/20/03 a bunch of Berkman-Thursday folk went to New Hampshire to see the campaigns of Wesley Clark and Dick Gephardt. A real West Wing experience. As I was moving stuff onto the hard disk of my new honker Mac, I came across these pics (and a bunch more) and decided they'd make an interesting Flickr set. (It's remarkable how pictures transport you back so well. I miss the time I spent in Cambridge.)

Here's a funny picture I took for Halley Suitt, who was writing about Alpha Males. (BTW, women don't know bupkis about men, any more than men know about women.)
