I’ve been fortunate to get to know Matt in the past few months, and have enjoyed swapping thoughts and ideas about RSS with him. This is exciting news for him; he’ll be a real asset to the Yahoo! team (Matt: didn’t the offer letter say something about using the exclamation point?) and it’ll be fun…

Whoa, nelly! The current issue of Law Practice Management, the ABA magazine for whom I co-author a technology column, over-doses on blogs this month: It’s Not Your Father’s Web Site: Lawyers in the Blogosphere (good intro for those who aren’t familiar with the blawgosphere) Ethics and Lawyer Blogs (Ethics guru Will Hornsby weighs in on…

Years ago, while working for a company that was in the midst of an IPO, one of our salespeople was fixated on the idea of shopping a sitcom idea to Hollywood. It would feature a ragtag assortment of personalities all working for a .com startup. Hilarity would ensue. If such a sitcom did exist, today…

I’ll be talking with the Gnome himself, Chris Pirillo, on the Chris Pirillo show in a few minutes. It’ll be archived in MP3 once the show’s done, there is also a live feed available.

(You may recall around the same time I was investigating how to solve my spam problem, with no success.) I’ve implemented this — essentially forwarding all of my rklau.com…

Erik Heels has a great post detailing all of the five star reviewed albums from Rolling Stone, along with a year-by-year breakdown.

Thanks to suggestions from Steve and Will, I decided to stop trying to figure out the elegant solution to getting podcasts on my Treo and go at it much more simply. (For the record: the elegant way would be having the MP3s sync to the Treo during a Palm HotSync.) Since the Treo’s built-in memory…

Holy cow: Netflix represents .3% of the USPS annual revenue. (In actual dollar terms: $200m out of $69b.)

Very cool: the newest podcast to run through FeedBurner is Lance Armstrong’s podcast, part of his Sirius satellite radio program. The Tour de France starts this weekend, and you can get his commentary delivered straight to you through that feed. Bonne chance, Lance!
