Unsubscribe
If you run a blog that is nothing but “speedlink” style posts, you will be removed from my feed reader shortly. Linkblogs are great when paired with real content. If you can’t generate any real content of your own, you’re wasting my bandwidth. Bye bye.

There’s an interesting new service out there that everybody’s talking about. Trouble is, Seth Godin is the only one call an apple an apple. The service is dnscoop and it’s respectable enough to be on a shared host that never seems to be up. When you can get to the website, the idea is yet…

Second Life Encounters
It’s freaky when you login to Second Life for the first time (Evar!) and within 5 minutes, a reader can ID you. Five minutes and I’m greeted with “Blogger, Baltimore, SXSW… you must be Technosailor?” Insanity. Thanks, Sean for IDing me and giving me a laugh.
