Hack quote

Walking through our tech processing office today, I noticed the book Hacking RSS and Atom (ISBN 0764597582). I put a note on it to have it routed to me after being cataloged. While perusing it, I noticed a great quote on the back:

This book is not about the minutia of RSS and Atom programming. It's about doing cool stuff with syndication feeds -- making the technology give you exactly what you want the way you want. [snip] Tantalizing loose ends beg you to create more hacks the author hasn't thought up yet. Because if you can't have fun with the technology, what's the point?

 

There's a great lesson there.

Tim O'Reilly's article on Web 2.0

I read a great article by Tim O'Reilly on the Web 2.0 concept. Read at: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html

He really brings together a lot of great ideas that are percolating out there. Read it! I highly recommend it.

I broke my finger playing soccer on Sun, Sep 11, 2005.



(I'm a goalkeeper, and, yes!, I made the save and played the rest of the game.)

They had to put two screws in to hold the bone together.

First timer

Alright, this is my first post. I figured if I read about, talk about, think about new technology stuff like blogs, I'd better at least set one up for myself.

I do have other ways to get my thoughts or innovations out there to other interested parties, so it's not essential for me to have one. But, let me experience the technology and the environment. And, perhaps give myself a test bed to try some experiments.
