Dawn Douglass sent this note to Scoble and me, in the hopes that she’d receive responses from our readership. She’s seeking something more top-level than categories - but I don’t think there is such a thing? When you subscribe to a feed, you’re subscribing to a magazine - but a blog, in many ways, is [...]

I’m gonna keep this particular email anonymous for the time being, if only because the writer agrees that Student Loan industry (INDUSTRY!?) is broken. His message gave me pause, as my father also joined the military (Marines) to help pay for his own college education. My dad’s a Vietnam vet - and while he’s proud [...]

I don’t know if I’d call myself a software expert, by any stretch of the imagination - but I do know good software (and a good deal) when I see it. Window Clippings just went shareware, and I started an exchange with Kenny Kerr about this move - specifically, related to the new licensing structure [...]

This is pretty amazing, thanks to a new supporter (”JC”):
I saw your you and your wife use a mac. You mentioned in one of your videos and I also saw it in the video too. I am not sure if yours is one of the core duo or core2duo chips inside of it. If it [...]

Here is some good advice from my Linkedin contacts who have tried it.
Barry Katcher:

This is the second time in the past week that someone has asked me (directly or indirectly) about mailing list software for email newsletters. I realize there are a wealth of email list services out there, but Steve Snes seems to be somewhat largely sold on PHPList:
Haven’t mailed you in a while. Thank you for [...]

PitchWire is an online community for influencers (journalists, bloggers and analysts) and publicists that promotes responsible pitching and transparency. The results are more successful “hits” and a better relationship between influencers and publicists.
