Plenty of good stuff, as ever, from Doc Searls. You know, I guess I’m just a big meanie, but I could not care less if newspapers get saved or not. I mean, it’s hard to get misty-eyed over a medium that hasn’t ever done much for me except turn my fingers black. (And before you […]

I just want to go on the record as saying that this makes me sick to my stomach. Kathy Sierra is one of the most prolifically brilliant writers - online or offline - I have ever had the pleasure to discover, and I am so sorry that some sick individuals are slamming her with threats […]

The key question in organizations is not the typical one — how do you motivate people or engage people? It’s how do you keep management from destroying motivation?
- David Sirota, co-author of The Enthusiastic Employee: How Companies Profit by Giving Workers What They Want (via Adriana, whose Hydra of Web 2.0 Adoption is also well […]

Because I am extremely ignorant of all things related to American sports (and, truth be told, much of British and European sports), I stupidly booked my visit back to London to coincide with opening day of baseball season. So I will not be there for this. I have been subjected to much pity from locals, […]

Not a landmark or a city councilman on a scooter this time: It’s a scene from my Saturday, of being welcomed into the home of locals for an impromptu lunch and shown the greatest hospitality. (These specific locals are architects John Spencer and Ken Cunningham, seen fixing Joe Wessels‘ collar. John and […]

Outside Kaldi’s, Over-the-Rhine
Originally uploaded by dynamist.
Bonus edition, since I missed a day or two in the last week. And what a bonus it is! I walked out of Kaldi’s, saw this, and thought, “Well, I’ve only had one beer, so I can’t be hallucinating.” What a town.
And about Kaldi’s: Joe keeps saying to me, […]

1) I’m in absolute hate with my Nikon Coolpix camera. What a piece of crap! Or, rather, what a shame that I can’t figure out how to take non-blurry photos in anything but the brightest daylight. I’ve never had to read the manual to figure that out with past cameras, and I’m hesitant to start […]

Three Little Pigs, Over-the-Rhine
Originally uploaded by dynamist.
This afternoon, after a fantastic business meeting and a loooong visit to Mark Fisk at his shop Mainly Art (the best store in Cincinnati, and perhaps the best store in the WORLD), I was walking up Main Street and spotted these pigs. There’s a Porkopolis thing going on in […]

Tonight I went to a party here in Cincinnati, and met quite a few people who have been reading this blog. I was, as I always am when I meet a blog reader in person, somewhat sheepish. But tonight, more than one person said to me, “You know, I am very sorry about your friend […]

Our friend Robert reports on what sounds like a moving service and burial.
At the hour of Cathy’s funeral, I was having a hugely positive, energizing meeting with a new contact in Cincinnati, doing some preliminary planning for what could be a great project in this town, one that will bring together writers, artists, and […]

Watch Greg Gutfeld’s Red Eye on Fox News at 11PM PST/2AM EST for some Miss Seipp on your teevee. It may get very interesting, as some things none of her friends have blogged may come out on Greg’s show. I won’t say more than that, though.
NB I’m blogging this on my BlackBerry from bed; […]

Cathy’s hilarious friend Lewis Fein will be interviewed on KTLA 1150AM at 5.30PM PST in Los Angeles tonight about our friend. Every time I spent time with Lewis and Cathy, I would practically hyperventilate with laughter, so if you’re in need of some humor right now (God knows I am), tune in.

Churchill’s Tea Room
Originally uploaded by dynamist.
Yesterday, after some heavy duty shopping downtown, I went to Churchill’s Tea Room for a very late lunch. Churchill’s is owned by Kathleen Kern - who was born and bred in London and whose father is Irish - and her family. They all run this operation, which spans two floors […]
