Dylan marathon on AOL Radio (XM)
AOL Radio is airing a Dylan marathon over this long weekend. It’s back-to-back episodes of his XM radio show. Fun stuff, and I have to admit I’ve enjoyed his ‘tween song banter more than the lost classics he actually plays. Check it out!
Google launches an espgame.org clone…
Google has launched Image Labeler, a clone of Luis von Ahn’s espgame. While it’s conceptually a clone, it’s been reimplemented in DHTML v. Java. Since CMU/Luis have patented IP around this, I’m guessing this is with Luis’ consent.

So congrats to our friends at Upcoming.org and Flickr for their Monday launches. Plenty of coverage all around the blogosphere… it’s all been said. Here’s what Upcoming did, and here’s what Flickr did. Great stuff!
I’m really enamored of the event-related photos feature on Upcoming that knits these two products together. […]
Google into Enterprise Apps
Google’s extending into additional enterprise applications.
My buddy Dave Girouard runs Enterprise over at Google. Dave was VP of Product at Virage, and an absolutely brilliant strategist and business guy. He’s been doing a great job with Google Enterprise Search, and now has extended his product line to other obvious categories.
Congrats to Dave, and […]

Talk is Cheap… Dreams are Priceless
Last night, Krista and I went to see the play “Talk is Cheap… Dreams are Priceless.”
The play is a one-man show by Jim Jarrett. It was fantastic, both in terms of execution and content.
The play showcases the teaching of Sandy (Sanford) Meisner. In fact, the play proceeds as if the audience […]
Commentary on MySpace / Google
Today I was a last minute standin for Andrei Broder on the “The Search Laboratories” panel at SES in San Jose. Also on the panel were Peter Norvig of Google and James Colborn of MSN.
Now in the realm of search, I am not fit to carry Dr. Broder’s bag. He’s truly a legendary […]
Plagiarized, but it’s cool
Browsing the web, I came upon my eulogy for Martin Friedmann on a free homework site: 123helpme.com. It was listed under “Eulogy for a Friend.” What’s amusing to me is that someone (or perhaps just some automated crawler) thought this would have any reuse or remix value. Marty was so unique (and […]
Talking shoes…
Nike and Apple have announced Nike+iPod. This lets your shoes talk to your iPod and communicate things like distance, time, pace, calories burned, etc.
This is freaking cool. Cheap too at $29. Wireless! I’m curious to see if the Nike+iPod system will be hacked in interesting ways.
This immediately reminded me of something […]

So sad.
