Dave Winer has convinced Philip Greenspun from MIT to get a weblog. I am so excited. I got a copy of his book on Web publishing (Philip and Alex's Guide to Web Publishing) about 4 or 5 years ago just because it looked cool and was well written. At the time I knew nothing about websites, and had no idea I would ever be able to publish to the web.
His first post is not descriptive of who he is. Philip is a great writer, photographer, programmer, commenter on social and cultural issues, and apparently he's taken up flying. Oh, and he teaches at MIT, so I'm guessing he's kind of smart too. He's definitely funny. His Photo.net site is a great resource if you are into photography.
