In fact, where my typical 4 mile run has me skipping a few steps, my iPod hasn’t ever missed a beat.” [Mar 5]

Dan Gillmor's We the Media arrived in the mail today — ah, the lovely sound of organized atoms hitting the carpet. This got me thinking about the artificiality of "articles" as a rhetorical form for newspapers. They are a result of a scarcity that no longer exists. Reporters often have beats they cover, producing articles when something happens of sufficient importance to warrant taking over some of the limited real estate of the newspaper. Online, there's no scarcity of real estate, so we can publish more than the occasional article. In fact, blogs are more like beats than like articles....

Birthday wish list


Birthday wish list 01/16/2004 11:28 AM

Every year I wait till my brithday to make wishes and predictions.  Here we go.

1. That the PeopleAggregator get back up and running - so everyone can enjoy what Eric Sigler has been up to.  FOAF is definitely the format for interchange of digital IDs and beating on FOAF, pushing the rdf folks to do the right thing and bringing FOAF into the mainstream - is one of my goals for 2004!  So GO ERIC GO!

2.  The great work that Joi, Weinberger, Doc, the Dean Campaign and all the Emergent Democracy folks have been doing - to help move this world forward.  I burned out on politics early - as my father is a politician.  Don't get me started!  My grandfather was a famous American Communist.  So I leave it to you folks to change the world.  me - I'm just a micro-content, new kind of tools, open standards, make up for my last company (which has locked people into propreitary standard) kind of guy.

3. That folks would grok and adopt Matt Mower and Paolo Valdemarin's k-collector and W4 technology.  Turn knowledge management into a good thing (from it's nebulous current state!)  Everything should have a topic attached to it!  See - I didn't even use the terms ontology, semantic web or meta-data!

4.  Marc Barrot's WebOutliner rocks and I hope that this is the year it gets out there as well.  Everyone should have their own on-line outliner baked into their app and/or service.  Long live OPML!  And thanks to Danny Goodman, Doug Baron and Paolo for helping!

5.  It looks like 2004 is the year that I'll get to show the world what I mean by 'new kinds of tools'. Let's just leave it at that - for now.  Needless to say I'm excited!

6. OpenReviews - this is something that is gonna happen this year - as well.  No longer will our opnions be locked up into Data Silos.  Folks - if you think blogging is big - wait till you see how big OpenReviews will be!  Notice how I don't have a page to link to for this idea. I've been leaving the leadership mantle open on this one - as I've got just too much work to do. I tried to get Seb Paquest to lead it.  Before that Noah Glass.  Maybe this year - someone will step up to the plate and take off - building up the alliances, technology and marketing poop needed to launch YET ANOTHER open standard.  Wait! I know - maybe Clay Shirky should do it!

7.  There will be a number of examples of how to take social networking to the next stage this year.  Hopefully Tony Perkin's Alwa ysOn-Network will be one of the first. I helped.

8. I can feel it in my bones that this is teh year that digital lifestyle aggregators will make their debut. No - it won't be from Apple or Microsoft - though they're the ultimate competitors.

9. This is also the year for Laszlo and rich media platforms. I can't wait for them to kick ass and stomp all over my former company.  From the moment I heard about and saw HTML, I knew we had to move beyond that.  Go bless multimedia. God bless object-oriented client side systems that bring us forward.  Hopefully you folks will all have SoundBlox, PhotoBlox or ReviewBlox modules in your blog gutters by this time next year.

10.  And let's not forget ThreadsML, Open Calendar events, Recipes and Resumes. There are so many open standards to develop - hopefully ATOM will get us closed to doing that, while bending over backwards and simplfying everything - to fit into the RSS 2.0 envelope - as well.

And to you all - a good night.

Birthday gifts


Birthday gifts 04/09/2004 04:02 PM
On birthdays I like to give a gift. If I had a new beta of NetNewsWire to post, I would, but it’s not quite there yet. Instead I’ll just tell you a little about it.

After doing an upgrade just about every month last year, we needed to take a little longer to do a bigger upgrade, to add a bunch of new features.

I’m not going to tell you about all the new features today, but I will talk about two of them. (There are many more... this just scratches the surface.)

Browsing in place

This is perhaps the most-requested feature, the ability to view pages directly in NetNewsWire.

Some notes about this feature...

1. NetNewsWire already uses Web Kit (the Safari HTML renderer) to render item descriptions—in the current version, there is extra code to prevent browsing-in-place from working. So the first step in making this work was to remove code, which is not what you’d normally expect when adding a new feature.

2. NetNewsWire, like many newsreaders, is a hybrid of email/Usenet apps and browsers. This feature is at the very intersection of these two types of applications, which makes it quite a user interface challenge.

3. Even though this feature is requested so often, and even though it’s demonstrably useful, a number of NetNewsWire testers were against having it appear at all. They’re in the camp that says, “Each app should do just one thing and do it well.” I’m in the same camp, by the way—the disagreement comes in when you try to define what “just one thing” is. In the case of newsreaders, it’s increasingly obvious that browsing is part of that “one thing” that a newsreader does. But, just so you know, this feature is an option.

Weblog editor overhaul

The new weblog editor is a 99% re-do. The user interface has been completely redesigned, and most of the under-the-hood code has been rewritten.

There are several goals:

1. Make the weblog editor easier to use and, at the same time, more powerful, with a more intuitive and more aesthetic interface.

2. Fix bugs (things like categories not always showing up).

3. Support more of the special features of various weblog systems (things like image uploading, support for Movable Type and TypePad keywords, etc.).

4. Make the text editor itself more powerful.

5. Add some other new features which I’m going to leave as a surprise for now.

Anyway...

screen
shotThere are lots of other new features to talk about...

But for now I’m just going to get back to work.

Awoke this morning to the year's first dusting of snow on the ground and a bit more of it floating in the air.

I am brewing up a round of the foamy hot chocolate I make with the espresso machine and for which I'm enjoying a small degree of fame among the local 3-6 year old set. I have Tom Waits' Pony blaring on the stereo and we're embroiled in a bitter debate about whether...
