Apparently while I was being a tourist in Berkeley, Google was making their Jabber server public, maybe, or maybe some folks are leaking. Hard to tell. Jason Calacanis likes it. Phil Torrone was able to connect. I like that it's Jabber because my software knows how to talk Jabber. Should make some interesting connections possible in Instant Outliner Land? Time will tell.  

I bought a Mac today. Now I can work on the Mac version of the OPML Editor. Should make a difference in the quality of the software.

Again, a lite-post-day, over in the East Bay, hanging out visiting friends. On Thursday I'll head down to the south bay, then -- not sure where the wind will blow me next. Maybe a massage retreat. Maybe Burning Man. Hmmmm. Maybe a Seattle nerd-out? I had a very interesting breakfast on Sunday with Ray Ozzie. Lots of ideas in the air. It's a good thing he was at the OPML Roadshow. Another idea in the air is a meta-BloggerCon, a very small off-site-size conference to discuss its future. Maybe that would be a good thing to do over Labor Day. Mary Hodder, what do you think? Doc Searls? It's definitely an idea to explore on the west coast or maybe in a distributed fashion around the globe.
