FM on iPod: Add this to your iPod and you get radio as well.

Stefano, Linotype and weblogs: Stefano starts his own weblog using Linotype (which is Cocoon plus his own additions).

Blogger meets TypePad: In an interesting development on the blogging scene, Ben and Mena Trott (the MovableType husband and wife team) have quietly launched TypePad. Basically an enhanced version of the Movable Type software - but hosted (like blogger). Read Ben's article for more. With the recent "Google buys blogger" move, this means that TypePad will be facing stiff competition. On the other hand I really like MT and so look forward to the start of TP.

Cocoon article on xml.com: I seem to have missed this one. Steve Punte talks about Online Magazines with Apache Cocoon.

Steve's going: Looks like Steve will be at OSCON and doing a BOF on open source in general. This is great and something that should draw crowds (if only because it's Steve). Seriously though, this sort of thing was missing from OSCON up to now - telling people what open source actually is, how they can get involved, what mistakes are to be made (and how to avoid them). Stuff like that. Hopefully I'll be there too and be able to help out with things like this.

Good morning Europe: Spent a lot of time last night on the #etcon channel. Lot of chit-chat going on but not the play-by-play commentary of keynotes etc. I was hoping for. Or I was there at the wrong time.
