    Heard this one on NPR, clock radio style, first thing this morning: Here’s the brief from npr.org… American speed skater Joey Cheek did something very unusual after winning the 500 meter race at the Winter Olympics. He announced he’s contributing his $25,000 gold medal award from the U.S. Olympic Committee to refugees from Darfur. And…

    Here are some gems from Guy Kawasaki‘s Thursday night talk at SJSU that didn’t make it into this article I wrote for the Spartan Daily. “It’s a Windows mic.” — on trying to get a mediocre lavalier microphone working “Are you oppressed or stupid?” — on the number of Windows-users in the audience “If there’s…

    Okay, I’ve got Dave‘s OPML doohickey working pretty well now, categories and all. It’s much lower pressure to write like this. Hence, the stream of consciousness the RSS-reading folks have been seeing for 20 minutes or so. It can’t possibly be as bad as the day I messed around for hours trying to rig up…

    I’d like to apologize to anyone reading this via RSS today. Sorry. I’m writing this from inside Dave Winer’s OPML editor, and it’s all nicely done. Now to add the categories…

    The Danish Cartoon mess reminds me of why I wanted to go back to school in the first place. I usually explain it this way: Freedom of speech and freedom of the press do not, in any way shape or form, negate one’s freedom to be an asshole. I decided to go to graduate school…
