Jet Lag News Hey that would be a good name for a blog! Anyway, here's what's new in the world of Jet Lag. Couldn't get to sleep until 1AM (maybe even a bit later). Sun was up by 4AM (maybe earlier). Only three hours sleep last night. Exclusive: That's not enough sleep for Comrade Davey! Google Gears I read that Google is going to announce a toolkit today that lets you run web apps on a disconnected machine. Something we had working in Radio in 2001. The key is something called a desktop web server. Nothing revolutionary about it. A database and CMS that runs on the local machine. I suspect that their approach will be heavier on the database and lighter on the CMS, since they like Ajax apps (as do many others, of course), where the content rendering happens in the browser, in Javascript. Reboot 2007 Pics from the opening party at Reboot 2007. Congrats to Jason?
Glad to hear someone is innovating in search. I bet it's cool. Not sure I like that the insiders will see it before I will. :-( PS: The site is live now. I signed up, logged in and started looking around. There's a page on me (of course that's the first thing I looked for), and what little it contains is accurate. I like that they identify the person who edited the page (someone named ck). PPS: Looks like Yahoo? From Rex Hammock, on vacation with family "I'm vacationing and am offline but had to share the following snippet of a converation I just had with my son, the high school sophomore. "'I've got a friend you should meet -- He speaks your language,' he said. "'What do you mean, he speaks my language?' I responded. "There was a pause and then he said, 'You know -- he's the kind of guy who knows who Dave Winer is.' "That was high praise from the 16 year old." Here's one for Naked Jen A billboard in a Swedish ferry terminal in Halsingbord.
Still the best picture I've taken Proof that every picture tells a story. |
Dave Winer, 52, pioneered the development of weblogs, syndication (RSS), podcasting, outlining, and web content management software; former contributing editor at Wired Magazine, research fellow at Harvard Law School, entrepreneur, and investor in web media companies. A native New Yorker, he received a Master's in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin, a Bachelor's in Mathematics from Tulane University and currently lives in Berkeley, California. "The protoblogger." - NY Times.
"The father of modern-day content distribution." - PC World.
"Helped popularize blogging, podcasting and RSS." - Time.
"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
