What's this? This is the personal web site of Evan Williams, president/CEO of Pyra Labs, the creators and operators of Blogger, a web application used to publish, among other things, sites like this (so, you see, this is work!). Here, I write about the Internet, business, blogs, San Francisco, my life, and various other things as they occur to me. (Also: There are pictures.)

Thursday, May 30, 2002 Two new meta blogs: blogtoday and Blog About Blogs. What's wrong with this picture? Wednesday, May 29, 2002 Up, not down. "...the number of sites people typically visit in a month jumped 25 percent last year. The average Internet user went to 71 sites from home in February, vs. 57 a year earlier." Hmm. Isn't this the opposite of what we've been hearing for years? Good. Tuesday, May 28, 2002 Managing Incoming E-mail: What Every User Needs to Know. By Mark Hurst. Price: Free (suggested $10 donation) Monday, May 27, 2002 frontwheeldrive: "networks vs. digital media vs. math vs. mysticism vs. music" LINKED: The New Science of Networks: "How Everything is Connected to Everything Else, and What it Means for Science, Business and Everyday Life." As the metaphysicists have been saying throughout the ages. Looks interesting. [Amazon] Sunday, May 26, 2002 Netscape 7 Mail w/AIM Sceenshot. Sorta neat. bigempty.com. oldy but goody Saturday, May 25, 2002 Cory Doctorow, on Just In Tokyo: "Put down that 'Prague on $5 a Day,' you hippie! Justin's Tokyo-On-No-Yen-Just-Confused-Smiles will have you flirting, reeling with liquor and dressed up like an extra from a bootleg high-school production of Neuromancer as you chow down on a hearty breakfast of vending-machine schoolgirl panties...." Blogzilla, on Netscape 7: "It seems Netscape's marketing department has removed the biggest reason to use Mozilla. Check out Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Scripts and Windows. The preference 'Open unrequested windows' (i.e. no annoying pop-overs or unders) is missing." (There is a "hidden pref" to turn it on.) Tomato Nation, on Clones: "It's not just that the prequels suck, although they do. It's that they don't suck with any flair. The trilogy kind of sucked, too, in its way, but it also swooped and crunched and flailed and kept our attention. The prequels don't, but they could -- they just don't try. If they would just try a little harder, we would love them too. We want to love them so much. That's really why Attack of the Clones is so terrible, I think. It doesn't love us back, not even a little bit." (Forgot where I got this.) |
