I’ve been storing up a bunch of posts. Let’s see how many I can get through before I need to go to bed.
First of all on Monday I got a good look at Flock. It’s out now, was just released. I really like using this browser. They are talking about it over on Channel 9. TechCrunch is too.
Russell brags about his new iPod. I guess we gotta start converting our videos so that Russell can watch them. It’s weird, though. When people show me their Nanos they usually show off their own personal photos and when people show me their portable media centers and now their video iPods (I’ve had a couple of people already show me theirs) they show off their home movies of their family. The strongest driver is still personal in this industry.
I’m very honored to have been interviewed by ActiveWin. I’ve been reading ActiveWin since before I was a blogger. It is one of my favorite places to get news about Microsoft.
John Dvorak has an interesting theory about media bias and technology reporting. Yes, he pulls the Mac card out. That’s what opinion leaders do when they want more links, more traffic, and more hate mail. But, I have noticed the same bias — even at blogging conferences. I take note of such things. At blogging conferences you’ll see something like 60% Macs. So, will they be able to write authoritatively about anything that comes down on the Windows side of the house? You telling me you read me for my Mac tips and tricks? Heheh!
Coworker Don Dodge got an editorial into News.com. That’s cool. It’s titled: Napster’s learning curve and is a takeoff of his earlier blog entries. His blog is most interesting, since he’s been an executive at several tech companies.
This has been a very busy week. Next week I’ll be in Silicon Valley so needed to get a bunch of interviews done. Plus I’ve been biasing my time to keeping up with email (I’m back on the David Allen plan, my inbox only has two messages in it right now) as well as doing Channel 9 videos (I’ve already loaded five videos this week, including one on the new InfoPath and one on Windows Vista’s new sidebar and gadgets).
Thank you to the crew at WordPress.com for fixing the bug. In an hour I get a demo of Sphere, a new blog search engine coming soon. This has been getting a lot of buzz, so can’t wait. Here’s an interview with Tony Conrad, the CEO at Sphere.
Everytime I want to make a link in WordPress.com it gives me a script error. Anyone know what’s up with that? It doesn’t give me an error in Firefox. No other blogging engine gives me an error when trying to build a link in IE. Hey, Matt, what’s up with this?
Update: I didn’t realize it, but Firefox is firing an error too. I went to Tools/Javascript Console in Firefox and there’s a bunch of errors there.
