		<outline text="Why the Times?" created="Thu, 21 Mar 2002 14:32:14 GMT">
			<outline text="Reading the blogs this morning I see questions about why we wanted to work with the NY Times to get their content flowing through Radio's news aggregator. I'm going to try to answer them, but understand this is an ongoing thread, there will be more to say about it as time goes by." created="Thu, 21 Mar 2002 14:28:33 GMT"/>
			<outline text="First, take it as a given than I personally like to read the Times. Hopefully I've explained that. I think, but I don't know for sure, that we're getting links to stories that don't appear on the index pages on the Times' site. Second, they are a leader in their business, so it's likely to pry loose other XML-based feeds. We are already see evidence of that. Third, it's a first step down a road that will inevitably lead to, imho, an integration of amateur and professional journalism. The practices of each should be adopted by the other. " created="Thu, 21 Mar 2002 14:32:36 GMT"/>
			<outline text="My stake in the ground -- in a few years the home pages of the surviving professional sites will be weblogs. And in a few years, the art of writing for the Web will focus on domain expertise. Having NY Times stories on an equal footing with those written by bloggers will, imho, elevate the writing of the bloggers, it will tease out quality that today is possible, but give it the push that it needs to get to the next level. At the same time, some of the reporters at the Times may be inspired to check out a few of their new cousins to see what they're doing. Instead of a superficial dismissal, perhaps they'll see that there are some new tricks they can learn to liven up their writing and create bonds with their readers. Just as this process makes for better software, a two-way relationship based on respect between writers and readers improves the quality of writing." created="Thu, 21 Mar 2002 14:38:02 GMT"/>
			<outline text="So it's a blending. And just a first step. And, as with all first steps, it's hard to see exactly where it's going. But it's certainly better to have the Times syndicating through XML, than not. " created="Thu, 21 Mar 2002 14:41:12 GMT"/>

			<outline text="There isn't anything stunning or exciting happening right now. Yesterday Tori brought me a new coffee cup. It's very huge.

			<outline text="Tori says she would like me to write more pieces about life and love, bodies and struggles. I told her that I had been reading old stuff I wrote a few years ago and finding that it was pretty good, better than what I'm writing now. I suggested that perhaps I had a talent that had slipped away. After all, my eyes had talents that have slipped away. They don't work so well anymore. So maybe my writing about deeper and more abstract things has fallen too? It's possible. Or another possibility. Maybe I learned what I wanted to teach myself. I still seek out younger people, and ask them questions, to try to explore my own past and maybe give them a boost in their path through life. I think it's hard to find shortcuts for others. But at least I listen to myself. That's cool." created="Thu, 21 Mar 2002 14:00:18 GMT"/>
			<outline text="The other day, talking with Chris and Gretchen Pirillo and The Scoble Boys, I said something quotable that I'd like to share. Control is not possible, but power is. I asked Chris some broad questions, and he had answers. He's a very smart and talented guy, so that's not too surprising. I asked what he wanted to do with his life (he's in his 20's). He talked about leaving a legacy, making a difference, changing the world. Ahhh I recognize that. That's what I wanted when I was in my 20's. Today, in my mid-40's (I'll be 47 in a few weeks) -- these things matter almost not one whit. I never wake up and say I want to change the world. My inner voice isn't interested. Nope. What does it want? To feel good &lt;i&gt;now.&lt;/i&gt; I suppose that makes sense, as you get older you want less. Smaller things make me happy. I'm easier to please.

I said that's not true. It's cool to not have the struggles. It's good to feel defined, to know who you are and why you are that way. It's good to know what you can and can't do. That I control nothing, to really believe that, makes relaxation possible. These are the things I say that make people uncomfortable. But there you go, I still can write, even though my eyes are weak and my feet hurt. Now I'm going to go trolling for trouble. Seeya in a bit." created="Thu, 21 Mar 2002 14:10:49 GMT"/>
