			<outline text="Good morning sports fans. Another local story. Went to the grocery store to get some coffee and food and wine. At the checkout counter the clerk says &quot;Oh the tourists.&quot; I said &quot;Tourists? I didn't know we got tourists here.&quot; It turns out we do. They stop in and ask if there's anything to see. She says &quot;Oh yeah, there's highway 280, go check it out.&quot;"/>

			<outline text="My trip to Google on Friday was great. First I took the tour. Lots of geek toys. Lots of press clippings. A nice graph showing flow. Then we sat down and talked software.

They're playing long-term, they've got real technology (Netscape's was all quick hacks). I pushed six things and gave them a heads-up on an seventh. Here they are. 1. Spell-checker web service. 2. Pings from CMSes for more currency. 3. Google On The Desktop. 4. An API to access page rank. 5. OPML and directories (instead of two or three directories, millions). 6. RSS feeds for their news flows. 7. Gnutella as a decentralized distribution method." created="Sun, 26 May 2002 15:12:44 GMT"/>
