Heard an analysis of the situation on NPR yesterday that gave me goosebumps. In the mid-20th century the top three sports in the US were: baseball, boxing and horse racing. Today boxing and horse racing are nothing compared to football, basketball and hockey. The NPR commentator said baseball is about to join boxing and horse racing on the sports scrap heap. I know what they mean. I went to exactly one game this year, and was bored out of my mind. Too commercial. Too perfect. Too expensive. Everyone is so quiet and well-behaved at the stadium. The baseball I loved was rowdy and irreverent.

Fri, 30 Aug 2002 12:10:18 GMT http://scriptingnews.userland.com/backissues/2002/08/30#When:5:10:18AM It's really spooky watching the <a href="http://scriptingnews.userland.com/backIssues/2001/08/30">archive for 2001</a> over the last couple of weeks. I can see the events in my world that preceded 9-11, the stuff that would get thrown in the air and pushed aside as we struggled to understand. Note that last year I said that Red Hat was overvalued at $600 million. Have to eat the words. <a href="http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=rhat&d=t">Today</a> its market capitalization is over $840 million. As <a href="http://www.timvp.com/gomer.html">Gomer Pyle</a> used to say: "Surprise surprise surprise."

I'm doing my first post-surgery technical project, a merging of the RSS 0.91 spec with the 0.92 addenda, and documenting the new features in 0.94 and including a roadmap for evolution, all in one Web doc with a liberal copyright. Should have a draft ready later today.
