If either of the parties is interested, I can scrub the rust off the Steel Cage I have in the basement, a leftover from the old Browser Wars era.

Great article in the SFGate/SF Chronicle on blogger burnout. [here]

Dave Winer lost his iPod for a few hours today. [here]
Me, I can’t imagine why I would want one. Guess I am not hip enough to be an A-List blogger.

Steve Rubel posts that the creator of Microsoft SmartTags is the Sith Lord behind Google’s AutoLink Feature. [here]
His homepage is here. If you create HTML and want to tell him how you feel about AutoLink, email him here.
Seems that he specializes in recognizing linguistic and conceptual pattern in electronic documents, most likely for the purposes of identifying them in search algorithms.

C|Net News Article here.

Just upgraded cURL on the servers to 7.13.0. [here]
Let me know if you see any weirdness in the WebPerformance data.

One Microsoftie’s first encounter with this term. [here]
The author describes his reaction to the word as

He links to a length article which actually explains the term…yuck. [here]

Read a Trademaerk Attorney’s opinion. [here]

Scoble and I have had our differences of opinion before, but I agree with him on this one. [here]
SmartTags == AutoLink == B-A-D

Cameron turned 6 yesterday…yikes!

Other than that, should be quiet…
