Got tagged with the Three Things Meme by Kent Newsome
For this meme, you should identify three things that you would like to see occur during your lifetime. It can be anything, anything at all – whether serious or whimsical. Others have touched on more big-picture items like world peace, ending world hunger, etc… All good noble things. So here are mine:
1.)Â Â Â A motorcycle “style” other than the current crotch rockets and copies of Harley Davidson V-twin cruisers (I miss the ’80s Honda Nighthawks)
2.)Â Â Â Snow year ’round (I’m a winter sports enthusiast)
3.)Â Â Â An operating system release that actually meets my expectations
So, who to tag next (need to think a little)…

So I’ve been following Mathew Ingram’s work on the upcoming mesh conference in Toronto May 15th and 16th. It looks like a really great conference – good content, and interesting & relevent speakers. If you’ve been looking for a well-rounded web 2.0 conference, maybe you should check it out. Cool stuff.

Well I got Naked Conversations (by Robert Scoble and Shel Israel) for my birthday on Wednesday, and I’m looking forward to start reading it tonight. I’ve heard a lot about the topics and ideas covered in the book and have been waiting to pick it up for awhile, so my wife got it for me.
Reading Robert’s blog was one of a few reasons I started taking blogging seriously. The topics and ideas on many of the blogs I’ve found since then have allowed me to learn numerous things over the last several months about blogging, my job, and myself.
Hopefully, I’ll find some useful nuggets in here that will be useful in my pursuits in promoting blogging at my employer.

Found this on Newsome.Org and decided to post mine.
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
5. Don’t search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.
What I found:
“Tap the other city on the map, or tap the ‘Overview’ button and tap the closest city in the alphabetical list that appears (you can tap the up and down arrows to go through the list, and you can tap ‘Find’ to search for a particular city).”
The nearest book in arms reach to me was “Newton MessagePad Handbook” for the Apple Newton MessagePad 120. I’ve been meaning to put the darn thing away now for a few years… guess that I’m still in awe with it, even next to my T-Mobile MDA. 🙂

Dave Winer has a great post about an interview with Dan Rather. In it Mr. Rather talks briefly about blogging. I really recommend reading the article.
