News from NY
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 by Dave Winer.
I'm spending the week in NY with family. 
Doing a rssCloud road show on Thurs and meeting with tech industry people on Thurs and Friday.
Yesterday Jay and I did Rebooting the News #18, show notes, MP3. Subscribe to the feed. Every week it's better than the last.
People keep asking for info on programming in the OPML Editor environment. I put together a list of resources. If you know of others please add a comment.
Went to the Mets game yesterday as the guest of Alan Levy of BlogTalkRadio, with my mom and Jesse Stay. I'd say it was the best Mets game I've ever been to. Fantastic come-from-behind victory where the deciding runs were scored with a pinch-hit grand slam. Alan really is up on the Mets so we understood all the strategy behind the Mets moves. Fantastic game. (Right up there with the exciting 16-run World Series blowout by the SF GIants of the Angels in 2002, which I went to with Scoble and Jake Savin.)
Saw this great sign on a walk today: Queens for Mike.
