simplex veri sigillum

I'm not sure yet how I feel about Radio.

I have complex feelings about it much as I do about Frontier, Manila or, for that matter, Dave! Then again, I have complex feelings about my wife and children as well.

As Dave likes to say about the Mets (he knows I am a Mets fan from 1962 and I bequeathed him a ticket to the fifth and final game of the 2000 subway series), they have a philosophy. Indeed. So does Userland.

Unfortunately, we are living in a time when we don't kill philosophers as they deserve but simply ignore them or worse, mock them with 'standards' - death by RDF and WSDL. Committees don't philosophize.

As for me (no philosopher of bytes, me) can I turn philosophy into rhetoric, much though the latter infuriated Socrates? In other words, can I make some bucks with Radio?

I dunno.

I know I did for years with Lotus Notes; that I could if I devote myself to Groove or, for that matter, even with an emerging CMS product like CityDesk.

Does it matter if I can't?

Probably but not certainly. Everyone needs a hobby but I'm already a golfer so ....

Complex.
