I'm geeking out with Radio and Manila and pictures this afternoon. I have it uploading a folder of pictures from Radio to Manila, but it's still a little glitchy. I want to make another pass before releasing it. In progress.

I went out to breakfast at a local diner this morning and had one of those cathartic experiences. I am of New York. I clicked in conversation with everyone I came in contact with.

If you know the technology, try to help him out, but do it with respect. The usual advocates are flaming him. Let's get Jamie going, turn him around if possible. The statements he made about CSS advocacy are exactly right. It is arrogant. But the arrogance doesn't have to own the technology.

Harvard news

Alireza explains why he's keeping a weblog about the Persian blogs. It's part of his work at Harvard's Graduate School of Education. Fascinating article because I'm looking for people who I can do formal research with. Sounds like Ali and perhaps his teacher are already doing that.

Second interesting item to report, we're starting a group weblog for all LL.M students at Harvard Law School. About 350 people will use the site. Nandan Kamath, the grad student who is leading the effort says "It will be interesting to see the interactions on Harvard's first multimember blog of this magnitude." Totally. I can't wait to see what they come up with. Our job is to help with the technology.
