Hmmm – only 10 of the people who have signed up for Share your OPML subscribe to my feed here. Well, maybe there’s a few more who aren’t sharing their feed. Maybe I’ll just go to bed before midnight tonight. Yeah, that’ll show ’em! Heh! 🙂

More on Spalding Gray
I wrote about Spalding Gray’s disappearance last night when I saw the story on CNN. Tonight, by way of Halley Suitt’s weblog, I was priveleged to read a very beautiful and personal post about this man by John Barlow. Just the title of his post alone is very very sweet indeed.
Microsoft Watch does more than just report the news
By way of Chris Sells, interesting analysis here by Mary Jo Foley
“Not every move Microsoft makes is dictated by its worries over open source.“
Plaxo needs to get universal or passported or something
I love my friends but I am sick of filling out their Plaxo contact information requests. Why can’t I just put it somewhere once and then when I get their request, say “hey you are allowed to see my global plaxo contact info”.
No, I’m dorkier… No you’re not! I’m dorkier!
Drew Robbins gets a Tech Blogging Home
Drew Robbins, known to many as the creator of TechEdBloggers and PDCBloggers has always had one of the most beautiful blog sites at www.drewby.net with a lot of information on his wife’s native county, Japan where he has travelled often. Drew has been blogging a lot longer than most of us. He has just created a second blog home for himself at http://geekswithblogs.net/drewby/ where I believe he will be focusing his more technical posts.
Why I fill out surveys
I worked in media marketing research for many years. What that means is that I worked for some major magazines (and a big ad agency) in the advertising departments. I was part of the team (and sometimes the sole member of the team) that provided research data to the sales force which they used to market the magazine to potential advertisers. So because my job depended on survey results for many many years, I am willing to take the time out of my day to help those that follow in that same occupation. My husband always rolls his eyes when he sees me wasting my precious time doing this, but this is the reason.
Awesome looking webcast series to bring VB6ers into the .NET fold
Are you or do you know a VB6 programmer who is still worried about the leap, learning curve, etc. to .NET?

Well this looks like a REALLY promising series of webcasts that takes VB6 devs by the hand and shows them the real meat of .NET. Quoting Duncan MacKenzie
A series of 15 webcasts & lab exercises for the VB6 programmer… (see the full list here)
