I will be at Jing Jing at 7PM tomorrow for dinner. Several other people will be there. You are welcome too. Just show up, look for the loud weblog-type people. The Jing Jing people are usually pretty good about giving us more tables. More tables means more food and that means more money.  About XML Devcon, the conference I just participated in, in Portland. Not surprisingly it was a Microsoft-centric conference. Chris Sells, the promoter, works there. The closing session was a Microsoft evangelist asking marketing questions of the audience. There were lots of demos of Microsoft tools and development environments. More than two presenters from Microsoft said "I love XML-RPC but I'll never use it." Then, for a Microsoft conference, it was amazing how often RSS was discussed. They talk about it as they talked about HTML in 1998. Take that for what it's worth, I'm not sure whether it's good or bad, or both or neither. Don Park went sailing on the Bay today, with pictures. Funny thing I was on shore taking pictures of boats sailing on the Bay. Wonder if I got some pictures of Don and his family. Postcards from San Francisco Bay. Curious thing -- SFO now has a shuttle train connecting the terminals and long-term parking and the rental car place. It was under contruction for ages. Today I rode on it. Excellent. At the rental car counter the clerk asked if it's a camera or a radio. It's a camera. Smile!  Presidential candidate Howard Dean is guest-blogging over at Lessig's. That's some kind of new thing. Jim Moore: "Consider the advantages of Smart Posses!" Three years ago today. "Over and over at the hearing I heard this idea. If musicians don't get paid they won't make music. How do they know that? I don't even think it's true. It might be true of some musicians. I know it's not true of all. Chris Lydon: "The 'spoken word' tour of the blogosphere continues." I'm blogging live from Dave Jacobs's house in San Francisco. Walked on the shore of the bay at the Marina this morning, got some great pics of sailboats and young beautiful San Franciscans. The weather is so fantastic, the city so damned beautiful. Dave and I went out for Pho. I find that I missed California, maybe more than I thought. Dave just took my pic for his new weblog. Dave looks pretty good for a guy who's been through hell. I got a ride to the Portland airport this morning from a Russian cab driver named Igor. I asked if he missed Russia. No. He said Russia is not the Mother-Land, it's the Mother-In-Law. Mikel Maron wrote a format driver for Echo. |
