Of course, Pirillo has for years written the Lockergnome.com blog. Now what kind of domain is that? Heheh.

1) No one has it yet. 2) It's about 20MB so shareware folks will avoid it for years. 3) It only runs on Windows (so far).

I just tried posting a long story over on my old Manila-run weblog (which isn't a desktop website) and the damn Internet screwed me over.

See, my phone rang and I picked it up. Now that's a problem, why? Cause my phone is one of those 2.4Ghz things and anytime I talk on it it messes up my 802.11b wireless connection. Anyway, the browser came back with an error message and my entire post was gone.

Believe me, it was a good one. I'll have to retell it later.

1. Bore you to tears.
2. Get fired.
3. Get my ass kicked for breaking an NDA.

So, you'll just have to wait for the marketing hype about Radio.

Instead, I think it's a good time for me to set out some goals for this weblog. What is the Scobleizer?

1. It's a celebration of the Internet lifestyle. I live online. Just like most of you do. My family doesn't understand this. I instant message everyone. I send notes to folks via email, even if they are in the next room.
2. It's a way for me to keep writing. I am compelled to write for some reason. This isn't a new disease for me. When I was a journalism student at San Jose State University in the early 90s I set a record for most articles written in a semester and I don't think that record has been broken yet.
3. It's a way for me to share some of the people and experiences in my life with all of you.
4. It's a way for me to pass along tips and news that I find out about the software industry.

So, how will the Scobleizer here change from the one I used to write? I don't know. It's a new year. It's a new lifestyle. I'm just getting to really understand just how much my life has changed in the past year.

Why don't you come along for the ride? I'm at scoble@userland.com. If you send me some interesting email I'll post it here.

Now, I'm switching to Radio UserLand 7.1 which is easier to use and lets me weblog offline because it runs on my desktop. This is important to me, since I spend two hours a day on the train going to and from the office.
