Don't panic - this is only a simulation: Nick Bostrom PhD, has written on why this may all be a simulation. A briefer version is here. David Weinberger comments here. Methinks this is almost certainly a plot by the Matrix brothers. Of course that's also what they may have programmed me to think I should think. Blink.

Jax pictures: More pictures from Jax are here.

Wikis gaining attention: There seems to be a current wave of Wikiness going on.Wikis are being mentioned and linked to in various places on the web and gaining visibility fast. I mentioned them last week at jax in my talk: Penguins are human too and it was fun to watch a room packed with people resonate with the collective sound of jaws hitting the floor.."you mean anyone can write in them..but doesn't that mean..".

You too can be famous: Read all about "The Star Wars Kid". The interesting part being that the fans have collected over 2000$ they want to give him. Now where did I put that home video .....

iSync and 3650: Looks like the next version of iSync will support my Nokia 3650.

Russell gives up: Russell has given up on Cocoon. A pity. At the weekend I told him to ask around in the Cocoon community for ideas on solving the encoding problems he was having. Cocoon is not a system designed for rapid prototyping and the learning curve is steep at the beginning - but the community will (and can) help.

Good morning Europe! Slowly resurfacing after Jax and sifting through the cumulated web debris.
