Today's song: "Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding." 

We flipped the switch on the Weblogs.Com transition. Now it's up to DNS to start sending people to the new home page

FAQ: "Whoa! Where did all the features go?" 

Docs for changes.xml. 

I did a live interview with Rob Black on 240 radio stations around the US at 8:10AM Pacific. It was fun. MP3

Karlin Lillington: "In the midst of the global terrorist crisis, some good news and positive movement is coming from this little island. It is a historic moment and may provide hope for other corners of the world." 

Bush: "I don't have anthrax." 

Scoble: "Don Norman is wrong when he compares pens to software." 

Apple iPod. 1000 songs in your pocket. Specs. Only works with a Mac.  

Steve Jobs: "When we get a little spare time, we will look at taking it to Windows. We know the experience won't be as good, but we will probably look at that down the road." 

Archos Jukebox Studio 20 MP3 Player. "With a whopping storage capacity of 20 GB you can carry the equivalent of over 500 CDs! In addition, the Jukebox Studio 20 is a fully functioning USB Hard Drive. With its hot swappable, plug-and-play, USB connection, you can conveniently store and take along personal files, along with all your favorite music selections." 

Jim Roepcke finds a bug in the design of the iPod. "It doesn't have a Mic." 

Powazek: "How can you spot the one MP3 player made just for the Mac? Answer: Look for the most expensive one." 

Dori Smith on the iPod: "Okay, I've seen the iPod and I've watched the commercial. And all I can say is, 'Snore.'" 

Cydney Gillis: "'We're not sitting on our hands drinking latte up here between the time a security vulnerability is reported to us and the time we issue a (patch),' Lipner said." 

Syndic8.Com is kickin butt. It's great to see a hard-working, productive community developing around RSS. 

MacWorld UK on the patent dispute betw Adobe and Macromedia. "Hierarchical structure editor for Web sites" caught my eye. I'm pretty sure I had one of those before either company. 

Well the Mariners didn't win, and all that stands between the Yankees and another World Championship is a team from Arizona called the Diamondbacks. That can't be a real team. Arizona? It's too hot there to play baseball. Didn't they used to be the St Louis Cardinals?  

Mark Pilgrim: "Welcome to my weblog. I hope you enjoy it. I just got hired for it." 

Faisal Jawdat: "The US hasn't been safe from terrorism. Consider abortion clinics. Not only do they get blown up, not only do people try to murder abortion providers, but Planned Parenthood has been receiving anthrax mail threats for years."
