Rollie Cole pointed this out to me; we’re part of a Cook Report conversation that only Gordon can pull off. Thanks Rollie.
eJamming. I love it. Just possible that we will start seeing some real problems with today’s IPR law when things like this start happening. Rishab Aiyer Ghosh had better start dusting off his Cooking [...]

I was reading Halley Suitt in her Top 10 Sources persona, and came across this by John Palfrey. It made me think.

It’s been that kind of Saturday. My central heating (which broke down last week) gets fixed, yippee. Liverpool beat Everton. Yippee twice.

I was reading The Park Paradigm this morning, noting Sean’s “obligatory” post/comment on Google Finance. In it he refers to an external post from Internet Outsider, which makes the point that Google Finance works better than Yahoo Finance because it concentrates on content aggregation rather than content production.
And this made me think of blogs again, and an old [...]

When I put people on a blogroll it’s because I read them. Just like by the time I implement last.fm it should show the music I’m actually listening to. In fact there’s probably a market for the equivalent of last.fm for blogs….someone out there listening?
Anyway, here are a few ideas  that did their serendipity thing on [...]
