Feel Like Making Blog

It's Saturday morning and Mat Kearney's on in the background on my laptop singing about crashing down. Who's Mat Kearney? I didn't know until about forty minutes ago but he'll be opening up for Sheryl Crow and John Mayer tonight here in Chicago, which is my anniversary present to Nancy. Year number nine to be exact and I couldn't ask for a better partner to spend my life with.

Just doing a little blog reading and came across a couple of things I'd thought I share

  • Star Trek turns 40 as of today yesterday and Wil Wheaton is writing reviews for TVSquad of classic TNG episodes. That's Star Trek Next Generation for you non-Trekkies in the audience. He also pointed to a resource that I was unaware of, Memory Alpha - the free Star Trek reference. And it's a Wiki of all things. I think I'm getting a chubby...
  • I'm still trying to grok the concept of NewsRivers that Dave Winer's been evangelizing. What's strange is a lot of folks have been saying that what Dave's preaching about as a disruptive technology [my words not Dave's] that this capability has been around for years. I would tend to agree with this audience as I was reading news on the go using my Palm Vx using OmniSky, a cellular modem service that is now defunct, back in the late 90's.

    But I happy to see the new sites that are being created to read news on our mobile devices and Dave just turned me on to the fact that Digg now has their own NewsRiver.

Well I think that does it for now... Got a lot of irons in the fire and quite a few things I'd like to share my thoughts about. Hopefully I'll have the time to write about them while they're still relevant. ~namaste~
