...and talked and listened to the sound of the waves. H×M: the restaurant find of the summer has wi-fi. I'm writing this from a brasserie in Hiratsuka called H×M where today we ate lunch, and where we returned for dinner: it was that good, and dinner seemed like the obvious and right thing to do.

'The Future of Radio' Rogers Cadenhead: "I'm giving away four author's copies of Radio UserLand Kick Start, each in new condition and completely untouched by my catdog." Rogers is cleaning house and it's your best chance to pick up a great book on Radio. Hit that link, leave a comment and maybe you'll pick up a sweet copy. I used the book for several months after it's release and it really helped me grasp some fundamentals about Radio's content management system, scripting language and more.

Snap News Snap Has a News Site. News to me....it's driven by search, and rather interesting in that it does not try to be all things...allows you to filter by date and time, title, source, and general keyword search. Rather cool, I have to say, on first glance.... [John Battelle's Searchblog] 6:38:24 PM
