I’ve been hanging out this week in Montreal at the Extreme Markup Languages 2001 Conference. There are lots of great speakers here lecturing on a wide range of subjects and technologies.

Yippie!

Dmitry Sklyarov has been released on bail!

See the weblog explaining the details of the arrangement.

Posted a new Weblog on the O’Reilly site:

Fired over MP3s

Here’s a cool story by Leander Kahney for Wired News about a new blog spidering project at the MIT Media Lab: Tracking Bloggers With Blogdex .

My buddy Craig Newmark was interviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle last Sunday. (And boy is he cute in a tux!)

Ex-Mozilla Guru Jamie Zawinski has revamped the legendary DNA Lounge. Wired News wrote a story about the opening.

I originally met Jamie several years ago when I was writing up a piece for Web Review magazine about Netscape’s Mozilla formation and its transition to Open Source: Mozilla: Born Free Again.

I also consulted Jamie on my own article for Wired News about open source and the browser wars from February 13, 1998: Netscape: Bring On the Frankenbrowsers .

Although I am currently based more out of Seattle than California, I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and still very much consider it “home”. The DNA Lounge has always been one of the best clubs in town, despite its previously rough decor. Now Jamie has polished it up and added internet connectivity and a host of new ideas about what clubbing’s all about in the new millenium. I haven’t gone there yet myself, but I’m going to, because I happen to be in town for the next few weeks…

Just posted my first weblog for O’Reilly and Associates: Turn About Is Fair Player.

Hello everyone,

This is my first blog. I’m just getting used to the system at this point, but I look forward to many a timely posting in the future.

Thanks,
