The first cross-country weblog?
Mike pointed me to this Newsweek article about Dave Winer's appointment as a new fellow at the Berkman Center for Law Society. In the interview, Dave said that he has sold his house and is driving across the country for his new gig to evangelize weblogging at Harvard. "I’m going to do ...

New Phone = New Toy
As noted in my latest photolog entry, I recently purchased a new cell phone and service from Sprint PCS.
