Simple idea; How to win the battle against smart-tags:
Lobby the Apache group to ship the standard configuration with the necessary code to turn off smart-tags - and have it do it by default. Apache has 50-60 percent of the market!
Anyone with tight connections to some of the core developers?
Started studying Buckminster Fueller on the recommondation of Mr. Rushkoff. Already a big fan of Dome buildings!
reboot coding & creative funkstar, Niels Hartvig, is up and running with his weblog 090978.org.
Blogger reaches 200,000 users tonight. Wondering what the actual number of created blogs is? And the active number of users…
A question:
Why do we take for granted that everything should be closed? What if we started taking for granted that everything should be open? Instead of asking: “why should we be open?” started asking: “why should we be closed?”… This goes for software, information, organizations, etc. I’m not suggesting that everything should be open - just that we considered everything to be open as default!
Google plans ipo before the end of the year. Where do i sign up? ;_)
The future of the web: Applications that’s taken the cluetrain-pill and are starting to have “conversations” with other applications. This is what SOAP, WDSL, XML, UDDI, etc. is all about.
Blog-dinner
Had a cosy “blog-dinner” with Nanna & Guan. Lot’s of interesting thoughts & stories. Hope that Guan has gotten something good out of the whole mondosoft/speednames thing.
Already started saving to get Guan into M.I.T - anyone else who wanna help?
Interview!
Had a very interesting interview/conversation with Henrik Marstal, a journalist/musician/researcher/author from Information, for a series of articles his doing on “man vs. the machine”.
Let’s see if he can manage to get the conversation into the format of an article - it definately won’t be an easy task, but he seemed like a insightful talented guy…
I’m gonna ask him for a copy of the minidisc he recorded during the conversation to write down notes from.
It rocks to be interviewed, when you feel that you’ve learned a lot from the conversation/got things put in a new perspective/pushed your thinking to new levels. If just all interviews/journalists were like that!
