		<outline text="According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://scobleizer.manilasites.com/2001/05/10&quot;&gt;Robert Scoble&lt;/a&gt;, the founder of the Microsoft Train Simulator fan site, \&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.up.com/&quot;&gt;Union Pacific Railroad&lt;/a&gt; has declared that it will aggressively go after anyone who distributes trains with Union Pacific's trademarks for use with Microsoft's soon-to-be-released Train Simulator program. The railroad is concerned that people will learn to drive a train and then hop into a real one which might cause a major accident.\&quot; &lt;i&gt;This is not a joke.&lt;/i&gt;"/>

		<outline text="Hey let's do another Scripting News dinner in Amsterdam. I'll be there May 25-27. Marc Canter will be there. I sent a note to Adam Curry, I bet he'll be there too. It's a short flight from London or Italy, Germany and Austria. Close to Belgium, not far from Poland and Ireland."/>
		<outline text="OK, should I also spend a day in London? Would there be enough interest in a Scripting News dinner on the 28th? I could possibly still change my travel plans. "/>

		<outline text="Speaking of Microsoft, this afternoon I'm meeting with people from their Mac development group to talk about SOAP on Macintosh. A little-known fact that we don't keep hidden, Mac runs SOAP, through Frontier and Radio. Our Mac software went through the interop testing process last month, along with our Windows software. This means it's possible to bridge any scriptable Mac app into a &quot;web service.&quot;"/>

		<outline text="Last night I met with Craig Cline and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.arcadiahouse.com/bio/&quot;&gt;Thad McIlroy&lt;/a&gt; from Seybold to talk about a &quot;mega-summit&quot; they want to do in San Francisco in September. As soon as I heard the term I wanted to do it. I love the term. It's not enough to be a summit, we gotta go all the way be mega about it. Right on."/>
		<outline text="So what do you discuss at a mega-summit at Seybold, and who do you invite? We put it aside for a while and ate our dinners, and caught up on what's going on, and eventually the conversation got around to the dot-com crash, and then to what's next. I said there has to be another revolution coming. When we get into these kinds of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=doldrums&quot;&gt;doldrums&lt;/a&gt; it creates space for something new. So there's the question we'll try to answer at the summit. &lt;i&gt;What's the next revolution?&lt;/i&gt;"/>
		<outline text="Now, that's a lofty topic, and it will be hard to keep the people we invite on-topic. And there's a big question about the format of the show. Part of me favors an empty stage, I roam the audience with a microphone, with famous people sprinkled throughout, never knowing when their turn is going to come. However, this probably won't work in this venue because the room at Moscone is large. I did one of these last year, about Napster, and it came off pretty well, but there were big gaps while I ran from one side of the room to the other. It was a good workout, but it probably would have worked better if I had stayed on stage."/>
		<outline text="So who should we invite? Who do you look to for thoughts on future revolutions in technology and publishing? (That's what Seybold is about.) So there's the question. Who would you like to hear from? There will be a website and white papers to go with this session. We talked about asking NPR to broadcast it. It's a good time to look for new revolutions. That's what we're going to do."/>
