Dan Lyke, editor of the venerable Flutterby weblog, has met his wiener boys, and wonders how to be rid of them. Here's how I did it. I shut down my discussion group and occasionally point to sites that have comments sections. If the wiener boys show up, no problem. Eventually the link scrolls off Scripting News. There's always a clever answer to the cowards, you just have to breathe deeply and let it come to you.

I've been using my camera again. Here's a picture of Russian-born software entrepreneur Vadim Yasinovsky, from Clear Software. Statues on Brattle Street, and a few pics of food at Mary Chung's Chinese restaurant on Mass Ave near MIT. I still have to learn how to turn on the flash on my camera, so I guess I have to go back once again to get a pic of their spicy noodles. Life is tough. ";->"

I hereby nominate Pete Seeger for a Berkman fellowship. And now that I've moved the truth can be told. I used to live across the creek in Woodside from Joan Baez, who is profiled in the same piece as Seeger. I met her once in the supermarket and talked on the phone once. She has a very nice house, with lots of cool people hanging out.
