Senator Edwards at Gnomedex
Interesting. In response to a question about framing issues, John Edwards just made an important point: “there are people who spend their lives figuring out what language to use framing issues. That’s not me. My job is to figure out where the country needs to go, which problems we need to solve. … Language will…

Conference mashups
Was talking with Josh Bancroft this morning about conference mashups, an idea whose time has come. Last year’s Portable Media Expo was held in the same building and at the same time as the Portable Sanitation Expo… wouldn’t it have been fun to combine the two conferences?

Services like del.icio.us, Digg, and many others are approaching…

JWT Puts a Roadblock on Huffington Post – New York Times Congrats to my friends at HuffPo – this is a neat deal and a good example of other deals I’m seeing at some of the niche publications.

Paul Curreri house concert
Last night was a blast — Paul Curreri was in town and played for nearly two hours at our house. We had a nice crowd, and I think it’s safe to say Paul has a lot of new fans now. Thanks to everyone who came! Evan has already put a couple pictures up on Flickr.…
