• On last year's FooCamp: When geeks go camping, ideas hatch Not sure what I think about the media-take on these things. Certainly the event has a reputation...
• There's a rumour that a major US player is about to buy Technorati Seems to me that they really need someone with a huge and solid architecture to deal with the scale of the searchable space - if true this is probably a good move...
• Randomly, the weekend of FooCamp is also the weekend of the Harrison festival for hairy gay men... I wonder - is there really no intersection at all between the two events / communities?
• A transcription of Brewster Kahle's piece at NotCon 2004 on the Universal access to all human knowledge Really interesting piece that estimates some of the stuff that's available or could be available in the future and how hard it would be to make it available to everyone...
• In which Jason Kottke makes a mockery of my gorgeous hat experience in the Flickr offices I'm going to get you Kottke. Watch your back and don't put any funny hats on. That's all I'm saying...
• Jason Kottke takes the Technorati crew to task for being, well, a bit rubbish Don't know what I think about this - there's no denying the service is flaky, but then again the problem grows pretty quickly and it must be an enormous struggle to keep up with it...
