Customer service isn’t dead
Lawrence Lee, of Userland and Tomalak’s Realm, did reply to my query about the future of Radio. Thanks, Lawrence. Seems most of the energy, recently, has gone to supporting the infrastructure and easing the start-up for new bloggers… which makes sense given that this is still very much a nascent market. But I’ll have to…

Nothing’s broken (yet)
Installed Mac OS X 10.3.3 last night. So far, so good (knocking on…).

Kind words for CNET News.com
NPR’s Neal Conan reads listener mail on Talk of the Nation (apparently a Monday task). Today, one reader asked how he could trust anything on the internet. Sreenath Sreenivasan, a Columbia University new media professor and a columnist for the media Web site, Poynter.org, runs through some obvious good ideas (check facts, etc.) and then…

What’s the right tool?
I’ve been using Radio Userland for my blog for a while. I actually tried it first back in 2000, around when the boy was born… I’m not sure it was even called Radio then. I’ve been publishing this blog for nearly a year, and my year license is about to expire. That event is triggering…

Movie: Lost in Translation
Yeah, I finally caught up with the rest of the you and watched Lost in Translation (thank you, Netflix). A quiet movie that didn’t drag = worth the time. And, maybe, the hype. (Although I dislike the pop-up on their website trumpeting the awards the film has won. If you’re that thrilled, put it on…

Book: The Innovator’s Solution
Clayton Christensen recognized that he hit a home run with The Innovator’s Dilemma. A smart man, he swings at a similar pitch the next time around. With Michael Raynor (previously a student of Christensen’s) as a co-author, Christensen wrote The Innovator’s Solution. Where Dilemma was more description, Solution adds prescription. In other words, what the…

Mac OS X 10.3.3
Have you updated yet? I’m waiting a bit longer, just in case there are any of those nightmares out there waiting to be discovered.

You can’t buy this kind of press
Yet another TiVo lovefest, from the NYTimes. I’m a believer, but this kind of fawning article makes me wonder. We’re still only on the first generation, really, of this kind of technology. Think how bad TV must have gotten to make people appreciate their TiVos this much!?!

Leaving Levittown
Vin Crosbie, who is fearless about his public prognostications, reminds fans of RSS that it’s not the solution to all the problems of publishers. Today’s RSS is merely another method of pushing whatever content the publisher (be that a newspaper publisher or a blogger) wants, when instead the real solution is to give whatever the…
