Well the boys are in town… John and George are on their way to Tempe (no this is not a Dead Beatles reunion, it is the other John and George). After their shindig at ASU, I am counting on meeting up for some drinks at the Billet Bar in downtown Scottsdale and then maybe up […]
Will wrote today about his mild wonderment on his time spent roaming blogs, furl-ing and webnoting interesting web sites: So I had about 90 minutes of true blogging flow this morning, reading the latest in my Bloglines aggregator, clicking on links, Furling interesting posts, and stealing paragraphs here and there and saving them as a […]

Sigh. It is no wonder no work is going on this morning. Our Asian wikis spammers returned, this time not only spamming our pages, but creating their own… and this time leaving a veiled threat of a message: Please do not delete. I send this message only one time, in order to introduce some China […]
Everywhere you look on the internet the spammers are crapping and leaving their fetid roach turds. Last Spring, I did a presentation at the online TCC04 Conference on PhotoBlogging “Publish and Build Communities Around Digital Images”.
