Everything I've ever learned about technology started with reading Steven Levy.
Sometimes, though, I wish I hadn't learned so much because now I expect everyone to get technology the way he did -- and does.
I'm oftentimes energized by reading smart people discussing the future of media even when I'm ...

I've been poking around with Qik since SXSW Interactive, but I haven't really followed anyone with it because frankly I don't much care what people are doing with their lives.

The listserv continues to add members, but right now most of the discussion seems to be Dave Thomas and I sharing some of the tools we find interesting. His email today was so spot on, I thought I'd report it here. What follows is all him: Right now I ...

Well, I took a day off to attend the Cincinnati Reds Opening Day (loss) Celebration. Now we're back to news about journalism. A VC firm has funded a news aggregation service for journalists.
