Cafe Blog, Salon-Style Events for Weblog Writers and Enthusiasts
Dave Winer picked up on a salon idea that I suggested at one of the Thursday night weblog writer meetings at Berkman a few weeks ago. Bloggercon is a great event to have once a year, but in the meantime it would be nice to get people together in a mostly informal, conversational setting ......
The Annual Spring Pilgrimage to Austin for the SXSW Interactive Festival March 12-16, 2004
"Now in its eleventh year, the South by Southwest Interactive Festival emphasizes cutting-edge, creative thinking as related to the world of websites, interactivity and online technology." That sums up the official description of the annual South by Southwest Festival but it's also an affordable and inspiring adventure in Austin to get together with other people...
Weekend in New York City
I spent Saturday and Sunday in New York City with friends so we could go to Cynthia Von Buhler's party Saturday night. Cynthia has an enormous (4,500 square feet) loft in the meat packing district that she has transformed into CVB Space, a gallery featuring her artwork and the work of others, too. ...
Good advice
After the Berkman weblog writers meeting tonight we relocated to Changsho for dinner. I got pretty good advice at the end, as seen above. Matt May from the W3C's Accessibility Group attended the meeting in town from Seattle for a few weeks. We knew each other online a long time ago and ...
Lush Lands in Boston
Lush, a handmade cosmetics store, finally landed in Boston a few weeks ago at 166 Newbury Street. I'm not really a perfume-y kind of person but their products are exceptional and everything is made of organic, fresh stuff. And their products have very amusing names including my favorites Rock Star Soap (it smells ...

Peonies
Last night I was wading through my old photo archives at capricious.org and stumbled across this photo I took of a peony a few years ago. It's too bad my favorite flower is only around a few months each year. Click the image to see a larger photograph.
Howard Dean and Mass for Dean in Dover, NH
I got home a few hours ago from my weekend canvassing/volunteering for Howard Dean in Dover, New Hampshire. It was a wonderful weekend. I took a bunch of photos that I need to get developed tomorrow. I'll have more to say about the experience when I put the photos online. But ...
Boston World Explorers Foundation, Destination: Fun Spot in New Hampshire
On Sunday Heath Row's Boston World Explorer's Foundation is going on a trip to Fun Spot in New Hampshire, the second largest arcade in the country. Sounds like an amusing and fun trip. Heath needed RSVPs this morning but there's a mailing list for future events, too. This brings back memories ...
Making House Calls for Dr. Dean in New Hampshire
With cold weather and the resulting partial hibernation looming, I figured this weekend was the best time to participate in one of the Massachusetts-to-New Hampshire canvassing caravans for Howard Dean. I figured if I wrote about it here then I'll be extra inspired not to back out. I'm a mixture of excited and ...
