Auds-blogkins

Jeneane discovered a stash of unused Aud Blog posts… and she posted four right off.

1) george, re. the Project of Bitterness.
2) george…  "accessible" music

3) george… "not-orginal" music
4)  what happint to four?  The blog ate it…  (Sorry, the blog ate my aud work).

Then again this morning… two more… her tooth?  Then after the dental angst (skippable) she gets all textual about the analyst takedown project.  TMA… you gotta listen to the audcast to find out what TMA stands for.

Scary.  She has 65,000 unused audblog posts available…

Freedom to Connect

This is the second of two blog posts, posted here first so it will appear consecutive to the first of the two which I must post second in a bloglike manner.  (i.e.  see above)…

David Isenberg thanks me for writing about F2C:Freedom to Connect and offers this opportunity:

"…here’s the deal: Friends of Frank Paynter’s Blog are entitled to a special deep discount $295 (vs regular early bird $595) if they register by February 28."

[Disclosure:  While there isn’t a dime in it for me and I am paying my own way to this event, I do my best to cultivate cordial, indeed friendly, relationships with David and a number of other people whose work overlaps my interests.  This is also called sucking up.  And, while the phrase "my interests" might be inferred to mean something financial, you shouldn’t interpret it that way because that is so mundane, really…]

Slavish Imitation…

Follower that I am, I’ve hooked up with the coComment people by entering my email address in the form there and waiting a bit for the beta-beta-beta (Suh-winggg, beta!) invitation to arrive.  Next I guess I have to modify my template or something.  Meanwhile, I’ve discovered the beautifully designed Shelley Powers site, and by extension others that are hand-crafted, to be not (yet) supported.

How did I discover that?  By reading McD’s comment there…

Zelenka stepped off toward Web 3.0 this morning, and RDF raised it’s pretty head.

Terrible 2.0s

Lots of perpetual betas out there reaching for the brass ring.  They’ll be chumming at the February DEMO, and the VCs will be there like piranhas in a feeding frenzy, while just offshore, the school of corporate sharks, the  OOs (pronounce "ooze") - gOOgle, yahOO, and OObilly-what-you-do-to-me - the OOs will be waiting to see if anything survives that first round of funding and learns to swim in the deeper waters.

One of the downsides of DIY PR and Marketing is that we get derivative names like Krugle and Ookle, although in fairness, at least Krugle’s serendipitous assonance is courtesy of the last name of international software engineer Ken Krugler.

And is anybody tired of the green and black wordpress "Green Marinee" template yet?
