		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.weblogs.com/&quot;&gt;Weblogs.Com&lt;/a&gt; got a software upgrade this evening. It's no longer a one-off, it's running our commercial software, part of Radio Community Server. This is called eating the dogfood. More modules will be switched in the next few days. Yes I know the template is weird. But I have to keep moving. No breakage so far. You know I'm going to say &lt;i&gt;Praise Murphy!&lt;/i&gt;" created="Wed, 06 Mar 2002 04:53:55 GMT"/>
		<outline text="I started the next switchover. If you're part of the Radio community hosted at UserLand, this is the &lt;a href=&quot;http://subhonker6.userland.com/rcsPublic/ranking?group=radio1&quot;&gt;temporary home&lt;/a&gt; for Rankings by Page-Reads. There's been an improvement, we now list weblogs not by the author's name but by the name of the weblog, if we have the data. If you &lt;a href=&quot;http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/updateRadioRoot&quot;&gt;update&lt;/a&gt; Radio.root, Radio can take care of that for you. We call this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=percolation&quot;&gt;percolation&lt;/a&gt;." created="Wed, 06 Mar 2002 06:54:13 GMT"/>
		<outline text="Meanwhile Jake is bootstrapping RCS into Radio. Next week when you're playing with this expect a mental explosion when you realize that a RCS can upstream to another RCS. It's some kind of weird network. Or it's exactly like something else. Maybe it's UseNet? Or the inverse of UseNet? &lt;i&gt;Hmmm.&lt;/i&gt;" created="Wed, 06 Mar 2002 06:10:49 GMT"/>
		<outline text="Did you grow up in NY in the 60s and 70s? If so, you probably remember Crazy Eddie's TV ads. He would say things like &quot;My prices are so low people think I'm insane!&quot; When he said the word insane he's make his voice waver so he &lt;i&gt;sounded&lt;/i&gt; insane. He'd wiggle his fingers in front of his face as he said it. It had a very memorable effect. " created="Wed, 06 Mar 2002 06:15:25 GMT"/>

He told me about the revolutionary side of CB Radio. I didn't know (or forgot) that there was an element of civil disobedience to CB. They had a song. We sang it. Then I sang &lt;a href=&quot;http://gunther.simplenet.com/v/data/thestrea.htm&quot;&gt;The Streak&lt;/a&gt; for him. Another theme song for blogging. You're probably too young to know about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.streaking.org/&quot;&gt;streaking&lt;/a&gt;. Believe it or not in the 70s people took off all their clothes and ran around in public. &quot;Look at that look at that,&quot; sang Ray Stevens. Well, that's what bloggers do, they show more of themselves than most people would think prudent. Why this story right now? Because I just read what my lovely friend Doc Searls &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sxsw.com/interactive/panels/bios/docsearls.php&quot;&gt;said about me&lt;/a&gt; on his interview page for SXSW. &lt;i&gt;I love you Doc!&lt;/i&gt;" created="Wed, 06 Mar 2002 07:38:20 GMT"/>

		<outline text="How people read on the web. They want to get to the beef asap. Most people will only skim, and record the fact that the article is there, and then use Google to find it when and if they need it. So the most important thing is to quickly say what you're going to do in the piece and who should care. Quickness is a very important thing. Most people just dash in and out. At least this is my assumption. That's one of the reasons I give quick soundbites, and the sources. " created="Tue, 05 Mar 2002 15:53:45 GMT"/>
