Can you hear Coop now?
So Coop is podcasting. I love that audio + feed = podcast. Not quite 1 + 1 = 2, but it’s not rocket science. Tools need to get better, though, because even that simplicity is not as easy to create as it should be.

Sneak peek at a News.com tag cloud
Whether you call them tag clouds, heat maps, or just eclectic ransom notes, I think visual presentations of content via oddly-sized labels are fun to look at. They may even be usable. But let’s not worry about that just yet. Take a look at an experiment: a tag cloud for News.com. Instead of user-applied tags,…

Agile just feels right for team development projects
I’m not a follower of the Getting Things Done (GTD) threads that weave through so much of the blogosphere. I’m sure I could improve my habits and my life in many ways, but I like to believe that it’s will, not methods, that matter. That’s for me, individually. For working as a team, though, process…

For those who have a lawn, Super Size Kick Croquet looks like fun
Michael Tchong made it through the bust years in technology and came out the other side with Iconoculture. Occasional gems keep me subscribed to the email newsletter… this is one of those gems: Lawn Smarts. Think kickball with (loose) lawn rules.

Power of Two
A milestone for the girl, marked by a wide smile through chocolate cupcake frosting. That’s powerful stuff. I’m not talking about the frosting.

The Atlantic… read the magazine and get depressed
I recently finished the July/August issue of The Atlantic. Formerly The Atlantic Monthly, the magazine is now published 10 times a year, and (thanks, Peter) is moving from Boston to Washington, D.C. (old article from April, now behind the pay wall at NYTimes.com). History and geography aside, I enjoy reading the magazine… but most of…

Walt is watching
Narendra noticed that Walt Mossberg blogs about baseball (Red Sox fan… boo!)… and Walt commented. Nice!

Loosely coupled thoughts on media evolution
Warning… loosely coupled thoughts ahead. I didn’t go to Korea, so I didn’t hear Simon Waldman’s talk at the World Editors Forum, but at least he posted the gist of his speech. As the Director of Digital Publishing for Guardian Newspapers, Waldman sits at the intersection of how people stay informed, at least in the…

Movie: Revenge of the Sith
OK, if you’re of a certain age and have seen all the other Star Wars movies, you have to watch Revenge of the Sith, aka Episode III (terrible, memory-sucking Flash website there, by the way). But… You don’t have to like it. You don’t need to rush to the theater. It’s more than acceptable to…
