PUBLISHING IS DEAD

According to Ray Ozzie anyway. I tend to agree… one-way publishing is going to be a thing of the past. All media has gone 2-way (TV, radio) and the web is 2-way publishing. Reiman may figure this out in 10 years or so.

228-ZAAR

Forgot to mention last week that went totally cellular with a new cool phone number to boot. Goodbye expensive business line, land-based long-distance, old sucky Sprint cel, and sky-tel pager!

Movie: Amelie

2 thumbs up. Adorable, witty, inovative filming, great story. Not like any French movie I’ve ever seen.

Recipezaar headquarters upgrades wiring

Kelly Electric wired ethernet cable from the storeroom to the office so no more tripping over cable. They’ll have to come back later for wiring to the stereo.

Oxygen.com gasping for breath

Oxygen.com is laying off 29 of 44 people bring the total staff down to 15! They have only 7x as many employees as . :-)

eBay scams

Business 2.0 has an article about What eBay Isn’t Telling You about scammers. eBay wisely has a team of investigators for fraud, but apparently, the problem is pretty big (and covered up). And there’s little that can reallly be done about. If eBay gets a brand of scammers, it’s doomed.

gaybook

Gay got her own iBook on Saturday, but it turns out it was the wrong one, and so we got the right one in Tacoma on Sunday. (along with a new TV!)

K&R wedding

Kevin & Rachel got married yesterday.

WWW=Winer's Weblog World?

Dave Winer believes that taking snippets of text and sorting them in reverse chronological order on a web page will save the world: “Eventually the world will be run with weblogs, much the way it’s run with telephones today. My belief is that when you find a technology of this stature, you deploy as quickly as possible, without worrying. It could be that weblog technology would avert the next international crisis, or deal with its aftermath, more effectively.
