Back in Boston, where it's totally spring, sunny, not too cold, not too hot, everything in bloom, birds chirping. A normal long flight, the plane was packed, the movie was good. Glad to be back in the good old U-S-of-A. The reverse jet lag (the easier kind, if I remember correctly) is setting in. To me it feels like midnight, but it's really 6PM. 

Webjay is "a tool that helps you listen to and publish web playlists." 

Interesting people will be at Supernova, June 24-25, Santa Clara, CA. 

Rogers Cadenhead: "I'm working on an RSS 2.0 template that I would like Six Apart to adopt in its software." 

Invisible Adjunct: "Six more weeks of teaching, and I head for the nearest exit." 

The soul 

Roughly seven years ago: "I think each of us has a kernel, under all the layers of experience and pain, that's ageless and perfect. Some people call this a heart, the organ that pumps blood thru our bodies. Others call it a spirit, the essence of the person. Whatever you call it, it's there, and you can easily find it."

Many years ago at a workshop I asked the teacher if goose bumps are love or fear. He didn't answer. Now I think I know. I get goose bumps when my point is touched. Don't know what that means? Read the story.

Dinner with Adam 

On my last night in Amsterdam for this trip, I had dinner with Adam Curry at a meat house that reminded me of a bar in Mazomanie, WI, many many years ago. We had meat and beer. So did everyone else.

It's really interesting walking around Amsterdam with Adam, who is a very famous person here. People stare at him. Ask for his autograph. I get some of the reflected glory, who is that guy with the rock star? It's a pretty unusual thing for me.

Anyway, we talked about next things to do. It was good to get some one-on-one time with Adam this trip. Now it's off the Schipol, the Amsterdam airport, to go back to Boston, and whatever adventures await me there.
