Eirepreneur: Dave Winer is a Movement. Yow! 

That piece is going to upset some people, but of course I liked it. Re the bit about AC, it's another one of those echo chamber things. Out of the thousands of posts here in the last year, there may have been a dozen about that issue. But every comment is repeated and amplified, and believe me, I know it. Anyway, I'm having fun -- today's project was the coolest little gadget I've done in a long time. Picture-casting! The bang per line of code was just amazing. And don't miss that that's largely because the Flickr people are following their heart so well. Some business guys might have said that their brilliant support of RSS serves no purpose. But it made my little hack possible in about 1 hour beginning to end. That's a sign of some really good work, on their part. This is what I like the most, people working together, and you know, developers and users partying together.  

Here's a cool little tool that turns your Flickr contacts feed into a "River of Pics" for your Mac or Windows screen saver.

Today's a travel day, going cross-country to Cambridge.  

Okay, she's getting carried away now.  

Last year's news: "A pack of angry Chihuahuas attacked a police officer who was escorting a teenager home after a traffic stop, authorities said." 

Happy New Year everybody!
