Today I realized that I’m part of the “old guard” of blogging because I remember a time when blogging was so new that very few sites had comments (it seems like MetaFilter was one of the first few?) and after a few years when they started to become commonplace, people were generally decent to each [...]
Satisfaction has launched (more on their blog). Disclaimer: officially I’m a “member” of their “advisory board” (airquotes because it sounds more important than it seems — unofficially, I talked to Lane every so often over the past few months and they patterned some design/interaction decisions similar to the ways I run MetaFilter and Ask MetaFilter).
I’m [...]
I gotta say that I’m enjoying the Boing Boing redesign so much that I’m actually breaking down and making a real blog entry about it (as opposed to a witty twitter quip, or simple delicious link, or a lowly screenshot posted on flickr).

January 2007: Macworld Highlights includes a “Microsoft Bloggers Lounge”
January 2000: Camworld Blogger Meetup at Macworld. My photos of the event.
Vox launched today and I can’t say enough good things about it. Just try it out and see (it helps if you get a few friends and family roped in as well).
Dad, if you’re reading this, this is that invite I sent you a few weeks back that you never used. Sign up and email [...]
I’ve long wondered when the act of blogging TV would take place. I don’t mean writing blog posts about the last episode of Lost, I mean actually snipping segments from TV and posting them for all to see. Basically doing with TV what bloggers were doing in 1999 with the web — snipping bits here [...]
