I’ve changed my mind - no live blogging

Friday, June 30th, 2006

I want to get the most of these session/conversations, so while I’m taking notes, etc., I’m not going to be liveblogging.  Of course this can change at any point.  Don’t worry, there’ll be updates…  I’m just trying to get into my Gnomedex groove.

Gnomedex 6 - Day 1 (early-morning)

Friday, June 30th, 2006

I’m sitting here in the second row getting ready for things to kick off. Wireless connectivity is a bit spotty so far. I’m somewhat having flashbacks to last year. :)

Chris’s opening remarks:

It’s officially RSS Days (per the state of Washington) TechMeme has been hacked! bLaugh has launched Does OPML have an official icon? I [...]

Let’s get out of here already!

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Well, I’m at Gate 20 at Midway waiting for the plane to come in.  I’m flying Southwest (can’t argue, it was a free flight) and although I “checked in” yesterday through their website, I still got a “B” boarding card.  Amazing that that many people are checking in through the website.  That’s a good thing, [...]

An Inconvenient Truth

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

I went and saw An Inconvenient Truth last Friday.

I cannot stress enough how great of a documentary this was and how powerful the facts are that are presented. A lot of my perspectives on things have changed since we’ve had Maggie and the environment is something that really has hit home.

It seems that I’m [...]

I’m getting ready for Gnomedex this week and I have “podcasting on my mind”.

I feel like it’s Fall 2004 and podcasting is brand new Preparing for Gnomedex I’m really going to try and record “conversations” I’m cutting people off while driving A “real” podcast in the works with the local crew? Hell yeah! I mistake an alley for the [...]

Gnomedex = This Week

Monday, June 26th, 2006

Hey all, it’s been a bit crazy around here lately and it’s about to get even worse. With that said, please stayed tuned. You’re about to be hit with an onslaught of posts/information this week (towards the end of the week)…

Why, you ask?

It’s that time of year again for Gnomedex and I’ll be [...]

Revisiting Blur

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

A year or so ago I heard about an upcoming reality show, entitled “Long Way Round“, that featured Ewan McGregor and his friend, Charley Boorman, where they rode a pair of motorcycles around the world (literally ~ from England to New York going east). I never heard anything more about it until a couple [...]

“You could hear Paul’s foot tapping from the very last row…”

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

Friday night, Liz and I had a “date night”. Big deal, right? Well, I can count on one hand how many times just Liz and I have gone out since Maggie was born (15 months, now?)… And one of those times was to visit our accountant and have our taxes done, so [...]

Motivation and Opportunity

Sunday, June 11th, 2006

As you may or may not know (I’m guessing you know by now if your kind of nerd-ish), Robert Scoble is leaving Microsoft. There’s tons of buzz going around the blog world. With that said, Mr. Scoble just published a post that, frankly, got my heart pumping and honestly brought a tear to [...]

Does anyone have any opinions on FeedLounge?

Friday, June 9th, 2006

I’ve been thinking about giving it a whirl… Bloglines just isn’t doing it for me lately (is it the website or are people constantly republishing their RSS feeds?) and I’ve been hearing some good things about FeedLounge as of late. It practically looks like a piece of “client-based” software and has a very [...]
