Court of Public Opinion I think we've just witnessed one of the first cases of the power of weblogging as a court of public opinion. In this case, Erin lost, but it probably saved him lots of time and money. I think it got bigger, faster, then either he or this roller guy imagined. The commentary from so many different weblogs is fascinating: some hate it, others are intrigued. Peace. That post cannot be the last post in the Weblogger.com vs. Roller story.  Erin apologized.  I need to say this: I accept Erin's apology.  We all make mistakes.  Erin is proud of his business and is overprotective, generally speaking that is a very good thing.  From all accounts I have read, Weblogger.com is a great company and deserves the support of the weblogging community. [Blogging Roller] Another issue to consider is this: if you don't know what all this is about, you have to reverse thru all the links to get the backstory. Now that (!) is interactive storytelling! 2:00:37 PM    comment

There Is No SPAM In The Bloggosphere Because it's pull, the destination chooses the source. Email is push, and thus source chooses its destination, sometimes without d's consent. 12:20:00 AM    comment

System-Level Blogging API Would it make sense to have a OS system-level blogging API that any client app could incorporate, much as it uses a Print API to print documents? A blogging print driver? A blogging print driver could be used to post an image to the blog, with notes and category info. But a blogging API could offer a primitive set of blogger data types (image, text, link, list,... that sounds like xhtml. oh well, it started out like a good idea. I suppose if every app started savings its content as XML documents, then you could use XSTL to transform any document into a weblog rss feed... 12:18:42 AM    comment

The Virtual Artists Studio These are the tools I need, and for which I cannot find current products that meet my needs: desktop multimedia blogging tool multimedia version tracking system Reason 2.0 + audio tracks more automated photo management system very automated video management system 12:08:22 AM    comment

multimedia blogging Next step is to put the actual recordings right here. I'm thinking of writing a content versioning system using j2ee. for any given song, say "desire", I can check in new versions of that song as I record them on various practice nights. I can then quickly find versions of a song on the version tracking system, but I can also post perma-links to specific checkins right here in my blog. This is more than just audio blogging, which and gang are currently exploring. This is using my blog as a running showcase for my artistic endeavors as they grow. the audio may be raw recordings, or more produced pieces. God that scares me! 12:04:30 AM    comment
