Since I left Macromedia in 1991 - I have been investing in and building what I believe in - which turns out to be something called "digital lifestyle aggregators". And now it looks like the rest of the world has caught up to me.I have developed this uncanny knack of clearly seeing what baby steps are necessary to 'boil this ocean' and I'm hoping that by building alliances, deals and incestuos relationships I can bring a rebirth to my company - Broadband Mechanics - in 2004. Laszlo is shipping the rich media platform - we were working on for years, while Tribe has shown what coolio social networks can be like, and a business model which can anchor a federated social network. Tony Perkin's AlwaysOn Network is proving that social networking is just a raising of the bar - and that it effects ALL markets, while the system I just designed for XXXX (can't disclose yet!) will finally show the world what digital lifestyle aggregation is all about. This is all a culmination of what I've been working towards for 13 years. And if you think about it - the timing is just perfect - right about.......... now. No I mean....... now. Now. Well - whenever it comes, we're not too far off right now - if you just combine: - PeopleAggregator, WebOutliner - MediaChest, Flickr, Orkut, Tribe, Ryze, Yafro, Fotonotes, Fotolog, ODDpost, - W4, blogrolling, technorati, Internet Topic Exchange, AlwaysOn Network Zaibatsu - RVW, ENT 1.0, OPML, XML-RPC, RSS - UpComing, ecto, FOAF-a-matic, Laszlo's SoundBlox - Windows Longhorn, Apple's iLife - Yahoo Groups, MyYahoo, Yahoo Mail and Launch (or yah - don't forget GeoCities) Hopefully all of these web servcies, tools and systems will inter-connect together - to provide us with the future we all deserve and need. This time around it's got to be based upon an open, decentralized, semantic, service oriented, fun world. Someone FamousSomeone Famous 12/05/2003 06:40 PM Me? Apparently so. At least in some small circles of the world. I no longer recall how (I really need a personal proxy that keeps track of this shit--anyone got one?), but I recently ran across something surprising.

people who hung out at Andy Warhol's 1960s Factory were probably more
interesting than Andy himself. Warholstars is an amazingly

What famous people wantWhat famous people want 10/31/2003 01:39 AM The New York Times asks eleven famous people what dream gadgets or technology they really, really want to see. Scott Adams, of Dilbert fame, wants a cat locator (easily done); Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder John Perry Barlow wants a brain implant that can replace all the gadgets he has to carry around; sports commentator Cris Collinsworth would like to be able to take the TV shows he's recorded on his TiVo on the road with him (that's coming); and Moby, who is mainly famous for owning a cafe in New York that we happen to live above, just wants to see recreational drugs that aren't dangerous or addictive.

I told the Berkman Thursday group last night that I was pretty sure that Dean would turn the corner and emerge out of New Hampshire as a viable candidate, and after watching the interview and last night's debate, I'm even more sure. Last night I also told what I know about The Scream, and why it was so shocking and where it came from. After seeing the Sawyer interview I feel I must tell the story in public. First a disclaimer. No one in the Dean campaign asked me to tell it, nor does anyone in the Dean campaign know I'm going to. I don't work for them and I don't support any of the candidates for President at this time. Anyone who wants to point to this piece should use this link< /a>. I wasn't counting, but they must have shown the famous Dean rant twenty times during the Sawyer interview. I saw it live and was disgusted by it, and then saw it twenty more times, so that's a total of approximately 41 times. Once was enough for me. The other (approx) 40 times it was just sensationalism, and over time my opinion of it shifted. During the interview I wanted one of them, Judy or Howard to ask her a pointed question -- what is the big deal Diane? Of course that would be anger, and was probably exactly what the producers at ABC-News hoped would happen. I was at Dean headquarters on the night of the Iowa caucuses, and I watched the Dean rant on TV in the office, with the other Web programmers. A few minutes before the speech they had a staff meeting in the conference room. Everyone was there except me and another guest. Not being a staffer, I didn't belong in the staff meeting. Several times during the meeting a loud crazy-sounding scream came from the room, everyone was doing it, and it was really frightening. The stuff of nightmares. This was before Howard Dean's rant. I asked Jim Moore what that was about, he said it's an Indian war yell or something like that, they used to do it in United Farm Workers rallies, and they adopted it at Dean For America. A few minutes later Dean let out the famous scream, it was the same scream I heard in the conference room. They're probably not saying this publicly because it wouldn't seem contrite to do it, and they probably know they'd get roasted for saying the scream and ranting you heard was part of the motivational culture at DFA. Some have compared the Dean speech to a similar rant by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer that made the rounds of the Net. So Dean gets a bit whacky, but after seeing it so many times, the shock value is fading. Taken at face value it wasn't anger, it was a steam-letting, and an attempt to rally the troops, and totally understandable. The press, as usual, is making a big deal of catching a candidate being a human being. But that's what he is. He's not an actor, he's not a commercial, he's not a deodorant, he's not a product, and I'm glad we have a chance to have this discussion. I'm not a Dean supporter (yet, but I'm getting there) and they didn't ask me to say this, but please, it's time for the press to let us have an election, or maybe it's time for us to have an election without them. Timothy Noah at Slate seems to agree. "If only Dean had taken a swing at Nurse Ratched before they wheeled him into the operating room."
