Moblogging without going out
Update: like practically every post of this vintage on my blog, the links here are broken and the post is, as a result, incomprehensible. And whatever the Memory Hole actually was, when I linked to it here, it’s now ‘a lifestyle blog to remember‘. I’m blogging this for several reasons. First, since I can now…

You read it here first…
After four years on the rollercoaster running another.com – and nearly ten years in the industry – I’m a free agent again. If you know me, you already knew this, but here’s the press release (or download a PDF) that will go out on Monday 9th. another.com is now making a profit so I’m off…

I want Danny O’Brien’s job
Danny and Quinn interviewed Brewster Kahle.(Things I have written about Kahle and the public domain recently: Public domain in Peril? Not again! “It’s just not that big!”).
