Richard Harris dies at 72. His 11 year old granddaughter talked him into playing Dumbledore in Harry Potter films. "She called me up and said, 'Poppa, if you don't play Dumbledore, I will never speak to you again." "I hung up and called my agent and said I'd do it. I can't afford to lose that kid"

Werner Vogels reports that he is close to having a professionally hosted Rotor Community Site which would be a site similar to sourecforge for Rotor. He has worked out a contract with CollabNet, a professional collaboration hosting company, and Cornell. Exciting stuff! [Sam Gentile's Weblog]

Awesome!

Dave Winer: For ten points, guess what this is the start of. Mind if I make a few suggestions? Actually, only one suggestion, and then a few nits. The suggestion is to change "when=" to "etag=". That way aggregators which support etags won't have to track an additional item. As for the nits, I'm not sure that name is worth the bandwidth, but it would be nice if this element were renamed title. Is this format only useful for weblogs or could it be used for other things? And please don't name the file rss.xml, that's a bit confusing.
