blog generation and other ramblings

- Meeting some very cool people lately like Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia fame, John Dvorak from PC Magazine, Joi Ito who's on the board of everything (seriously). I was in the same room as Stewart Brand of Whole Earth Catalog and The Well fame. I'd like to put Scott Kveton in that mix and also was in the same room as Linus Torvalds up in Portland. I've been hanging around Mozilla so always feel like I'm hanging with a rock band. Anyhow, the folks I'm running into (and a few, more regularly e.g. bloggers) seems like we're part of this new beat generation. There's war going on, there's expression going on, and a lot of this is happening in the San Francisco/Bay Area. I don't like it.

- Chain suck, sucks. I broke my bike and had to get it replaced with a new bike. Yup. I'll be able to ride it maybe once before Ironman Canada. Nice!

- My new catch phrase that I've lifted from a friend, "not so much". Example, Internet Explorer 7 is going to be a great browser. This is where I would respond, "not so much".

- Looks like it's back to school season. Zach Lipton is a stud and is not going to be the next Blake Ross (whatever that means). He's going to be the next Zach Lipton. Great job this summer.

- This graphics back end stuff is dangerous. Vlad and Pav are kicking some serious ass.

- I've added this new feed to my live bookmarks: http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_mostpopular.rss CNN's most popular.

- Stumbled on Keen Footwear. I do need some outdoor shoes for hiking and such. I guess this is the new/latest outdoor footwear?

- A blog about garbage cans. Noto so much. I actually do want one of these simple human garbage cans that sell for way too much over at Hold Everything. This blogging stuff is getting a little bit out of hand. C'mon Steve. I wonder if Steve sends us one for Mozilla, if he can hook me up with a free one, and then I'll see if we can get the garbage can in a photo shoot, okay, I'm stretching it.

- Already planning for Ironman 2006 Canada, again. Hopefully will do better my third time around.

Rafael, we'd love to - but you'll need to have the Firefox community enter our contest like the rest of us mortals.
