At every conference it seems, someone gets mad at me. My style of public talking has its pluses, the discussion can be lively, but some people's buttons get pushed. Most people go through this without making a scene. At this conference no one went ballistic, I'm thankful for that. But the Web being what it is, it still could happen.

If you're in the Boston area and were at BloggerCon, you are especially welcome at tomorrow night's weblog writer's meeting. I want to hear what everyone thought of the conference.

Last year on this day: "I tried Google News. 4000 pubs all reporting the same story is 4000 times more boring than one. Didn't interest me one bit. I'm spoiled, I've got my own virtual newspaper.

Of course the American League is not a "real" league, but if it were, Boston fans could teach the rest of the country a thing or two (except the Mets). Red Sox fans might say: Hell or high water, through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, etc etc. The fans have a philosophy. "We lose but we love." And what a stadium. This year the losers have a chance to win. Even better, the perennial National League losers, the Chicago Cubs, have a chance too. All things being equal, there's only a 25 percent chance of the dream series, but the Baseball God is especially powerful and good at making deals with the other gods. And of all the gods he has the worst sense of humor (or the best depending on how you look at it).
