Excerpt from a photo by Rob Rummel-Hudson (another one of us here)
I was excited that my trip to New York coincided with a visit there by my friend Rob Rummel-Hudson and his daughter Schuyler to meet with the publisher of their book. It’s definitely the only time I’ve been nervous about meeting someone under the […]

Me on the roof of the McAlpin (photo by Bob Schwartz)
Originally uploaded by dynamist.
The McAlpin rooftop terrace is one of my favorite elevated downtown spots. The mix of architectural styles and city landmarks that you can glimpse is just crazy, as I think this shot illustrates. You can look right into Paul Brown Stadium, gaze […]

Dave Winer says (on Twitter, of course):
It’s about the people. I’m posting stuff to Twitter that appears nowhere else…That’s why Twitter will make it: It inspires fanatacism.
I can vouch for both of those statements. There’s something liberating about the micro-blogging format (and the fact that my updates are visible only to those I allow to […]
