My notes for this afternoon's presentation at JFK.  Rogers Cadenhead: "Many journalists have an exaggerated sense of self-importance that dovetails nicely with the perils of war. Case in point: Embedded journalist Ron Martz thanking God for putting two U.S. soldiers at his side in Iraq so they could be shot instead of him!" Jim Moore: "How do we strengthen the Second Superpower?" Jonathan Schwartz: Open source vs open standards. My comments on the Schwartz piece.  Question. Is there a test site that fully supports trackback? I get confused reading the spec. Why do none of the sites support the RDF snippet that they're supposed to? Is that part optional? Or maybe I misread the spec. How do you discover the url to ping? A human-readable howto that's not tied to a specific product would be very useful. I think it must exist by now. New howto for Berkman/Harvard weblog users shows how to add a basic comment window for weblog posts. Halley's story, starting the day before her father died, one year ago today. Great story. Makes me wonder if I should publish my writing on the same subject, but my father survived, miraculously.  Middle-of-the night writing on a snowy night in Cambridge. 2AM in the Eastern Time Zone. The sound of a snow plow woke me. Anyway, I had a phone talk yesterday afternoon with Martin Nisenholtz, CEO of New York Times Digital, the guy I have the famous bet with. He brought me up to date on what's going on. I agreed not to talk about it until we're finished talking. I've talked with a few other people who I trust to try to make this come out right for the Times and for the Web. Damn the snow, don't forget today's seminar at the Kennedy School. An hour and a half about weblogs and speech. One year ago: Shortcuts in Radio. And in California, the wisteria are in bloom. Ouch. |
