			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-2306997.html&quot;>News.Com&lt;/a>: &quot;People who use Napster and other file-swapping networks to trade MP3 files are more likely to boost their music spending than those who don't use such services, according to a new study from Internet research firm Jupiter Communications.&quot;"/>

			<outline text="I just was interviewed by Wired magazine, they're doing a story on Philippe Kahn. I explained to the reporter what &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,20803,00.html&quot;>Turbo Pascal&lt;/a> and Sidekick were. At one point I said, with a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=avuncular&quot;>avuncular&lt;/a> chuckle, &quot;I feel as if you should be sitting on my knee as I tell the story.&quot; We both had a good laugh."/>
			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://weblog.mercurycenter.com/ejournal/2000/07/20&quot;>Dan Gillmor&lt;/a>: &quot;No one should have been surprised that Napster moved so quickly from the fringe to the middle, not in retrospect. Yet most of us didn't see it coming until it was already over, at least those of us over 25.&quot;"/>
			<outline text="Bryan Bell's &lt;a href=&quot;http://theme6.weblogger.com/&quot;>Basic Blog&lt;/a> Theme is now available on UserLand-hosted Manila sites.

It's strongly object-oriented, which means that it has a better chance at longevity than almost anything else out there, because if it's HTML objects today and SOAP objects tomorrow, it's still the same underlying platform.&quot;"/>

		<outline text="A conference in October?">
			<outline text="I'm playing around with ideas for my own conference. We have a hotel in Palo Alto reserved for a full day in early October. "/>
			<outline text="We can have as many as 500 people, I think; perhaps more. It'll cost money, and it won't be cheap (I want everyone to eat well, and have great audio visual stuff, lots of giveaways)."/>
			<outline text="My working title for the conference is &quot;Visionaries&quot;. People who really have a vision, something that they want everyone else to do, for fun, not to control them. If you speak at the conference you have to agree to a simple statement like that. If you can't well, maybe we can talk about that, on stage, in front of an audience. "/>
			<outline text="Then I thought maybe it makes more sense to call it &quot;Dave's Competitors 2000&quot;. Then in 2001 I'd have a conference with my competitors that year. This would encourage people to compete with me. It's tricky because it gives me what I really want, movement, progress, parachute-less plane jumping."/>
			<outline text="People are sending me ideas for people they'd like to have speak. Some really good ideas, like Phil Greenspun, Steve Wozniak, even Bill Gates. Your suggestions are welcome, self-nomination is OK too."/>

			<outline text="For me, today is one of the most exciting days in my software career. As I said yesterday, we're working on software that plays music. All you need is a folder with MP3s in it. "/>
			<outline text="From there, we make it possible to build playlists by pointing and clicking, drag and drop. Where Napster's playlist is single-dimensional, ours is multi-dimensional. Now get this, I'm using it. And.. &lt;i>It's fantastic!&lt;/i>"/>

			<outline text="Why doesn't Microsoft's Paint accessory save as GIF or JPEG?"/>
			<outline text="I see a big hole, Microsoft has a sub-menu of the Start menu called Microsoft Web Publishing. Why aren't there all kinds of goodies that real Web publishers use? Someone isn't paying attention here."/>

			<outline text="Wired: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wirednews.com/news/business/0,1367,37703,00.html&quot;>Applause for IE's Cookie Catcher&lt;/a>. &quot;The additions for Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser will describe cookies to the user and differentiate between first- and third-party cookies, Microsoft said. The browser will then let the user refuse third-party cookies.&quot;"/>
			<outline text="Since my sites don't use any third-party cookies, and since I'd prefer if advertisers didn't know all my personal preferences, I applaud this move. "/>
			<outline text="However, Microsoft has a split mind on this, as an &lt;a href=&quot;http://scriptingnews.userland.com/stories/storyReader$870&quot;>email from an unnamed source&lt;/a> within Microsoft indicates. "/>

			<outline text="She sent an email asking if I would submit my own &lt;a href=&quot;http://scriptingnews.userland.com/pictures/viewer$538&quot;>picture&lt;/a> for her collection; I had never thought of doing that! Of course. Always happy to oblige. "/>

		<outline text="God bless them filters">
			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://discuss.userland.com/msgReader$18853&quot;>Cam&lt;/a>: &quot;If Microsoft wants to evangelize the .NET concept to the OSS community, then why didn't they have a booth? Why were there virtually no Microsoft representatives at the conference? I didn't see any at all.&quot; "/>
			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://discuss.userland.com/msgReader$18861&quot;>Dave&lt;/a>: &quot;Microsoft Microsoft Microsoft. It's like reducing Europe to Heathrow. It is the biggest airport, for sure. So what.&quot;"/>
			<outline text="We talk over each others' heads. This happened in the Mac community in the late 80s and early 90s. All the developers wanted to do deals with Apple. I had a different idea. Let's do deals with each other. It didn't work. I can't tell you how many times deals were killed just because some random Apple person called the other developer and said we'd prefer if you didn't work with each other. Deal over. In an instant."/>

			<outline text="I was searching for a symphony by Charles Ives, and instead I found folk songs by Burl Ives. My father used to have an album of Burl Ives folk songs when I was a very young child. So I 'm listening to Big Rock Candy Mountain right now, and it begins, &quot;Oh the buzzing of the bees and the cigarette trees, the soda water fountain. Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings in that big rock candy mountain.&quot;"/>
			<outline text="Now anyone who's worked with me knows I always type &quot;Oh the buzzing of the bees, and the sycamore trees, a soda water fountain&quot; where most developers type &quot;Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.&quot; "/>

			<outline text="I think it was my favorite song when I was three years old, if you can believe that."/>
			<outline text="Moral of the story. Kids are silly, therefore they like silly songs. Good news, my three year old is still in there and he's still silly. He's laughing right now. A happy kid. That's cool."/>
