An important update for OPML Editor users. 

William Safire on blogger jargon. 

In a few short weeks Guy Kawasaki has turned from a blog skeptic to a blog evangelist. He's what I call a Natural Born Blogger. He knew how to blog before he knew he knew.  

They're playing some excellent music on Saturday night on WAMU. This is my favorite NPR station so far. Lovin it. 

Jason Calacanis describes a harrowing attempted landing at Telluride, CO. I've flown into that airport, and I agree, it's better to fly into Durango and drive a few hours.  

A behind the scenes look at Tony Kahn doing a podcast at WGBH-Boston. They call Tony one of the "twelve pioneers of podcasting," which is certainly true. Tony was the first NPR podcaster, and NPR has turned out to be a fantastic supporter of the medium.  

Pictures from last night's TechCrunch party.  

Dan Farber snapped a silhouette of Kevin Werbach and myself talking at last night's party. 

Steve Gillmor has developed a new kind of spray. 

Rafe Needleman: "This could work out nicely." 

Seven years ago, my news editing control panel which was the beginning of browser-based weblog editing (before they were called weblogs, of course). This led to, later that year, Edit This Page, and later yet, Blogger and Manila.  

Essay: Blogging is a part of life. 

ZDNet: "Apple Computer appears to have invoked the DMCA to stop the dissemination of methods allowing Mac OS X to run on chips from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices." 

Jeff Jarvis: "Blogs have already become prisoners of their format." 

0xDECAFBAD: "Reviving AIM and Jabber services in the OPML Editor would sure be swell." Agree. 

Friday night's party was great, huge, exhausting. Saw a huge number of old familiar faces, and met a bunch of new people. Lots of cameras, podcasters, and babes! Saw some creative clothing, and snarky snarks. Lots of sights to see. Had to leave early cause I was getting crushed in the crush. If I missed you so sorry, and Mike thanks. The tent was great too. Highlight of the evening -- 3 generations of Scobles. 

Bonus photo: Proof that Scoble has absolutely no pride.
