Tomorrow I think I'm going to decide which way to go on my train trip which starts on Wednesday. Maybe France, maybe Germany. Where to go after that? I'm going to spend some time with the map. 

Fortune: Craigslist in Lights. 

Consumers Union: "President Bush’s plan unveiled today to provide affordable high-speed Internet access to all Americans by 2007 fails to address a primary hurdle cited by consumer groups to achieving that goal: a 'hidden tax' the administration allows cable operators to impose on customers by forcing them to buy the services or packages they create to get access to the Internet."

Dinner tonight at In De Waag, 7PM, reservation under "Curry." 

I swear I wasn't drunk when I accidentally called it BitTorment at lunch today with Andrew and Adam. 

Adam is VJ'ing in a whole new way. "It used to be Michael Jackson, Madonna and Tiffany," he said. 

Walter: "It appears I'm in the minority of people who think this is might be an underhanded way of nudging RSS out of the way in favour of Atom." 

Wired: "Low-power radio, more than four years after the FCC's ruling, has been something less than an unqualified success." 

Ed Foster: "If you stop using the service for 90 days, they get rid of your data. But the credit charges go on and on." 

We are having a Scripting News dinner tonight in Amsterdam, but we don't have the place yet. Andrew and I are getting together with Adam at 1PM today. A good time for dinner is 7PM. It'll probably be a smallish group, around seven people (just guessing). We should pick a place close to Dam Square, the ambience is more important than the food quality. It should be quiet enough so we can hear a conversation involving seven people. I've started a blog post for coordinating.  

Last year on this day: "Please don't flame me but.."
