Sign-up page for Friday night Food for Thought dinners. 

What if your number is greater than 150? 

Technography and OPML at BloggerCon IV. 

Peter Merholz on tech conferences. "Same old people singing the same old song." 

Kevin Marks has set up an IRC channel for BloggerCon. It's the same one we've used at previous shows. I've listed it on the Webcast page if you need to find it later. I am using Ircle on the Mac, and was stumbling around for an hour, frustrated with the user interface, until I found this howto, and now I'm on the BloggerCon channel. Whew. 

Jared Benedict: "It is my position that hyperlinking to publicly accessible MP3's is perfectly legal." 

Awesome Frontline last night on the face-off between Vice-President Cheney and former CIA Director Tenet, and then complicity in the deception that led to war in Iraq. 

Doug Kaye: Interviews via Skype. 

Heat wave! 

I promised it would be chilly, but I was wrong!

We're having a heat wave. It was 93 in Berkeley today. Not much cooler in SF. On Saturday the Bay Area's natural air conditioning kicks in, with a more reasonable high. But we'll sweat tomorrow and Friday.

Live MCN 

Okay, let's do something new this morning.

At 9:30AM Pacific, we'll do a live Morning Coffee Notes, via webcast.

I can't Skype people in, but I can respond to things people say via IRC.

We'll do it for 1/2 hour. Then I'll upload a WMV archive, and if someone can figure out how to convert it to an MP3, I'll redistribute that, or if not, I'll work on it later.

How does that sound?

PS: The archive didn't happen.
