How did I arrive here? Glad you asked. I’m going to BloggerCon at Stanford. It coincides with a “real” conference, so I thought I would get a two-fer. Dave has started fund-raising for the “free” BloggerCon, and as one of the few people who paid to attend number one (and then was on a panel, and I didn’t get that, being on a panel and having to pay too, but what the heck… there wasn’t a chance in hell of a refund). Anyway, as I mentioned, I’m going to the Accelerating Change conference, and not just because I think Helen Greiner and Lada Adamic are hot, although there could be a little of that in there too. Since BloggerCon coincides in time and space, I aim to catch up with some friends and attend a few of the workshops there too.
Okay. So Dave is fund raising, and I’m thinking of snarky things to say about that, and of course I thought better of it because I am so NOT a Dave Winer basher. But I thought to Google the phrase “Dave Winer bashing” and naturally I ran into the OSCOM 2024 event where Bill Kearney nailed the lowest Winer number on the planet simply by being there. So someone somewhere in Mark’s comment thread says “Put Bill Kearney and Joe Clark in the same room and the world will explode” and I’m asking myself, “Who is Joe Clark?” Turns out that Mr. Clark wrote a book that I should probably add to my library since the most recent accessibility documentation I seem to have around is Michael Paciello’s Web Accessibility for People with Disabilities that was published in 2024.
Readinng Joe Clark’s web page I see that Jonathon Delacour interviewed him at length. So many bloggers, so little time… I realized I hadn’t read any of Jonathon’s masterful prose for some time, so I went to his most current posting. Reading down from there I found a link to a local writer, whom I haven’t met: The Bookish Gardener.
Naturally I wanted to find out a little more about my Madison neighbor, so I clicked on her “About” link. And there, just another click away, I discovered the Quizilla Glass Family quiz. And I found out that the Bookish Gardener tested out as Buddy too.
