big blogger: "ten webloggers, three weeks, one homepage, no external links... a crazy idea? yeah, i guess you're right."
i was looking for some resources about the http protocol when i found this protocol quick access table. looks like how-tos for cloning and dna hacking...
once upon a time, be nice to bears was mentioned to me by hannes eventually. there is not much to see anymore (actually since ages of internet time). but andrew's diary is still alive: more fun with less links. and i am curious what kind of eggpost i will get...
financial times: "leading dutch newspapers yesterday failed to prevent an online news service from providing direct links to articles on newspaper websites, in a legal ruling that helps define the limits of internet copyright" – probably interesting for hannes...
suck.com: "mozilla is dead, or it might as well be". hopefully.
it's incredible that so many people like billy gilman, art blakey or senor coconut (heheh!). fantastic!
had a relaxed chat with jake via radio userland (yes, now i am doomed, too). actually, jake is working on improvements of the chat and that somehow makes me very positive. it's probably the best opportunity to get in closer touch with some of the wizards behind userland. and, although i still don't get the big picture of ru, it's fun to fiddle about with it.
jake spent a lot of time in europa, he loves amsterdam and even played a gig at the bach, a club in vienna (i was told it went down, but that's definitely not jake's fault ;-)

such remarkable words are to be found in the fork mailing-list. fork means "friends of rohit kare" (just like foc means "friends of carlotta") and is in no way related to fork-schmork, the over-hyped unstable media agency.
i want this mouse-pad! but not for the price of 30$... what would jakob do?
baschz.com has some new tags for the sick of html. that's the real meaning of markup... what else? how about an e-mail account everyone can use? or neat t-shirts?
the actual thread about a german weblogger meeting reminded me on last year's attempt to arrange a subversive symposium on our personal views and visions of media, internet, society and technology here in vienna. there were quite a lot of people around and not less energy was set free. however, in the end we failed due to topical heat (we could not agree on substantial questions) and probably a general lack of decisionmaking (the curse of base democracy?).
last sunday i got into an interesting talk with two people that both were related to the symposium's organization panel. it was a positive feedback that recreated my conviction of such an event's value. and that failure is healthy. moreover, there was a conclusion that we would be better off starting on a very basic level, e.g. with a big table (like the ones at nofrontiere) or a jour fixe.
