Citizen Agency at Gnomedex
Video of Tara Hunt and Chris Messina on stage at Gnomedex getting the ball rolling on their new bag, Citizen Agency. It sounds like they’re working with some good people, including an ex-BBC colleague of mine, Ben Metcalfe who’s their CTO and ‘Grassroots

A photo taken while at Gnomedex of Flickr displaying a photo taken by Steve Lacey of my laptop while in Second Life, looking at photos from Gnomedex while sat in the auditorium at Gnomedex. Woo – weiiiiiird.
Even weirder still, i was outside in between sessions chatting to Steve and we were talking about Second Life and he mentioned about someone doing something around the podcaster places in Second Life at a place called the Bluggcast something – I said “Ha! That was ME!”
Me so meta
Preparing for Gnomedex 6.0
Woohoo! Looking forward to heading all the over the Atlantic and the United States to go to Seattle (via SF for a couple of hours) for GNOMEDEX 6.0 ‘A Higher Resolution’ – I wonder how many times SL gets mentioned 😉
Got lots of stuff to get sorted before leaving, including MORE BADGES! Hurrah!
Also, been working hard on getting some cool new podcast.com stuff to demo to those interested 😉
| I’ll be in Seattle from Tuesday evening (tomorrow!) so drop me a line if you wanna meet up for a beer etc: |

OPML.org glitchy
I don't know about the rest of the users of the OPML Editor, but I've been having alot of downtime there recently on my (more active) OPML Blog : 'KOZ'. I'm hoping this is a sign that Dave etc. are working on some improvements and new tools etc for it rather that a sign of things to come. 😉
Maybe it's time to set up my own server?
U2inSL
OK. Well. it was really a virtual tribute band who call themselves ‘U2inSL’, animating over a live U2 performance (legal?) but it was very well done indeed. All the audience had to ‘deprim’ and take off their blinging attachments and cyber-gubbins in order to cater (bandwidthwise) for the 100 or so peak audience there was at the venue.
The U2 avatars for Bono, The Edge and the other two ( ) were very well done and they must have spent a long time creating and orchestrating the animations to go at the right time as the music.
I think we’ll be seing ALOT more of thing kind of live event (with a ‘real’ live event that is). Congratulations to all those involved!
My First Ever Email : To Bill Gates – circa 1992
All this news about Bill’s movements along with other stuff recently has reminded me very much of the first email I ever sent.
I was the only person I knew who had ever even heard of the internet. I had no one else to try sending one to. I very much doubt it was ever read – but it didn’t bounce. And back then, well before inbox-overwhelming spam, you’d have known if it did 😉
Here it is/was: [Circa 1992 : Bristol UK]
To Bill Gates:
| Greeetings from the UK. |
| [… a short sentence about myself…] |
| Twenty years ago people would have laughed if you told them that it will be possible to earn a living sat at a desk in front of a screen, tapping away at plastic buttons, moving a device called a mouse around on a soft pad. |
| IN TWENTY YEARS TIME YOU WILL BE ABLE TO EARN A LIVING SAT AT HOME, WEARING SPECIAL GLASSES AND GLOVES, CLICKING YOUR FINGERS WHILE WAVING YOUR ARMS AROUND IN THE AIR. |
| MICROSOFT SPACE. MICROSOFT ROOMS. |
| Close the Windows, the room’s getting cold. |
| Now who’s laughing? |
| Thank you for your time. |
