"Holy Hell...this is like the rules for Calvinball. But I'm glad you are kicking ass and taking names. I need to make a trip to SF just to see the new construction."

"Hmm...I hear what you're saying (I came here from G+ rather than Facebook, but that's just substituting one Goliath for another). That being said, I think there's a goodness to you posting here vs. in whatever walled garden (a goodness I haven't done a good job of emulating myself recently...I need to get on it!). You "own" this...if myspace/friendster/facebook/tumbler/friendfeed disappears, your postings there go with it. I think there's something important there. That being said, Anil hits on it when he points out we shouldn't war amongst ourselves re: Wordpress v. Movable Type v. Drupal v. etc...just be happen you're out of the walled garden!! Encourage the wild growth...we need it."

"Looking forward to the new column, Jon. Welcome back to the "punditocracy"...*wink*.
I was actually just getting ready to email you...have you seen/been following scraperwiki.com? Some interesting tools in this same sort of "personal cloud" space, specializing in getting data out of non-machine readable formats (poor web layouts, PDFs, etc.), into databases, and providing visualization capabilities. Looked like something you'd be interested in."

"Hm, cloned into Cloud9, I'm (kkennedy) getting a big ol' error when I run npm install in the console, starting with Error: No compatible version found: trycatch@'>=0.1.0- <0.2.0-'
I'll admit, I've only used Cloud9 a bit so far, so I could me making a silly mistake...any ideas?"

"Huh-freakin-zah, my friend. I couldn't agree more. Well said. I like tablets...I got a Kindle Fire for Christmas, and I think it's great. Even for reading (surprisingly). But where do I *lose* myself in a novel. On my e-ink (2nd gen) Kindle. And I *like* losing myself in novels..."

"I'm pretty sure you hit the nail on the head, Paul. Best Buy would be happiest if we stayed out in the car, and tossed our wallet into the store for them to rifle through."

"Well, Ron Paul has a well-established history of not actually watching/reading work done in his name, so perhaps he'll end up disavowing this too..."
