Good morning sports fans!

Today's my travel day. Flight leaves at 4:30PM Pacific which is 1:30AM in Copenhagen. I'm procrastinating on packing. Answering emails, doing support work. What's on the agenda? Wasting time!

JY Stervinou says "Don't forget to take off your shoes in the plane! ;->"

News.Com: "Apple Computer has started installing the new Mac OS X operating system on all of its new computers, CEO Steve Jobs told developers at a conference here Monday."

Re the dinner in Amsterdam this Saturday -- it looks like there will be upwards of 50 people coming from different parts of Europe. Fantastic! What a trip it's going to be. But it's proving difficult to find a restaurant that can accomodate this many people. So I'm leaving it to Adam Curry, our gracious host, to figure out what's best to do. I'll arrive in Amsterdam Friday morning.

Matt Haughey on the Kaycee hoax.

I wonder if there's anything to the rivalry between Steve Jobs and Michael Dell. I've seen Jobs take shots at Dell, and thought it was astute, even if it was unlikely to work. Dell took the bait? It helps Apple to be seen in rivalry with Dell. I can't see how it helps Dell.

I heard a lengthy interview with Benjamin Zander on NPR last week. What an interesting man, a Web guy but with music.

Lance is always talking about Zander, now I understand why!

Also last week, Brent explained to me how punk rock was also an instantiation of Web culture. I never understood this. I always thought it was weird that Brent is a punker. He's such a nice person. Now I understand. I hope Brent will write it up while I'm traveling.

Kevin Werbach is doing a piece on weblogs. He asks why I like them. "As a writer and a lover of good writing, I look forward to lots of great new ideas coming from people I've never heard of before."

Kur5hin: "Possibly the most powerful distributed search engine on the internet is the network of human beings that make it up."
