So Full of Angry
You know school is about to start when your bulletin board gets pranked by fellow teachers.

Great cause and I can’t wait to see it in person.
Spam for Carl Sagan
Pretty funny from my never-ending spam folder:
I’ve Been Reading Too Much Dave Winer
So why start over with this site and make it a micro-bloggy RSS based thing after almost eight years of blogging?
Because I’ve been reading too much Dave Winer.
I agree… I want to own my space and make the federated and open mouthed web work. I believe in the ideal that a non-centralized web is the one that works best. It is the promise of all this stuff.
Time for me to do my part.
I’ll be tweeting, facebooking etc, but this is my hub where all that will come from… my coral reef.
App.net as Dud or Savior?
Can’t wait to see how this turns out…
Think App.net is just a Twitter clone? Then you’re missing the point — Tech News and Analysis: “What Caldwell wants to do is create what he and others think Twitter could have been before it decided to become a global media entity: namely, a unified message bus for the social web, or a way of tying together multiple apps and services into a single real-time information delivery system.”
The Value of Starting Over
Sometimes, it’s better to knock things over and start again.
I’ve been actively blogging on this domain and using it as the home base of my business since 2004.
However, it’s time to clean up and start again. I’m still notebooking things over on my beloved Shareist site, but it’s time to make this a serious focus of my marketing and social media consulting business while I do what I do elsewhere.
I’m excited.
