Survey for consenting adults who run weblogs.

Mail starting 10/30/00 is all about Groove. I love you guys. You're all over it. While I was sunbathing in Miami. What a great life.

Jonas Beckman has a Hello World tool for Groove.

If you like Mac OS X, Brent would like you to look at this screen shot.

Ohaha: "Most of our contributors are currently located in the Ukraine, and we also have access to the advice of some of the most seasoned Internet entrepreneurs in the world."

Jon Udell: Let's Groove with Ray Ozzie.

Do I have baseball pictures? Yes I do!

Here are some Yankees fans waiting for a train to the Bronx. Do you see any philosophy here? Hmmm.

Add a Mets fan and all of a sudden the eyes light up!

I had the misfortune of sitting next to a six-year-old Yankees fan named Stephen. I admire his perseverence. He was a total pain in the butt. One of the problems of a so-called Subway Series is that we had almost as many Yankees fans as Mets fans. The Mets fans prevailed, of course, even though the Mets themselves, didn't.

Shea Stadium has an old-fashioned scoreboard. It's an old stadium. Of course I remember when it was the newest stadium in the major leagues. Oy.

Here's what the action looked like from my seat.

Blah blah blah the end of the world blah blah blah.

Motley Fool: "About.com agrees to be acquired by niche magazine firm Primedia in a $690 million stock deal, which is intended to integrate the old media and new media worlds."

WSJ: "Microsoft will rent its software to consumers on a per-use basis for the first time next month through the easyEverything chain of budget Internet cafes."

Brent's been working on the Mac OS X version of Frontier. The goal is to get Manila sites running on Apple's new OS asap.

Jakob Nielsen says Flash is 99 percent bad.

After the Greater New York Scripting News dinner last week, I definitely want to do one in the home court. Is there anything like Katz's Deli in San Francisco?

There's a WSJ article on Weblogs, I read it on the plane from Miami to San Francisco this morning, but MSNBC didn't pick it up. If you spot it on the Web, please send me a pointer.

Lawrence Lee found the WSJ article on Weblogs. "This link will probably stop working in a few days," he says.

I love the Vaio, it's a great little machine but there's nothing like having a desktop with a big screen and a "real" keyboard.

Now that I'm back, one of my first things to do is to get Groove installed on my system. Have you been using it? Want to write a mini-review? Send it to me and I'll start a mail page. Lots of catching up to do here.

Register: Is Groove the new Napster?

I juz gotta say one-a ting to the people who get interviewed for all the weblogs columns who read Scripting News, don't you love me? Can't get no respec. Where you think the style came from? The little wink in your link. ";->"

Have some nice Italian cheesecake, onna me.

"cheesecake"
