Gnome Sweet Gnome

Yeah, so, I'm getting pretty darn fired up for Gnomedex...

And Sending It Too

Doc answers his email in public, and we've been covering both sides of the conversation over at Between Lawyers, where we're having a chat about the ins and outs of Creative Commons licensing. Also, I see that Between Lawyers has received 57 comments to date and our heads don't seem to have exploded, so...your input is most welcome. Consider yourself cc'd.

When Life Gives You Metaphors

Someone needs to create a fantastical short story or fable around this woman who is nursing a tiger cub. (via Blogging Baby)

(More, if less dramatic, potential fable fodder: Daylight time: a cruel joke at parental expense; Are you insane – or just a work at home mom?)

Today's New (Uber) Blawg

Blawg Review, another fine exercise in edited aggregation brought to you by Kevin Heller and Evan Schaeffer, as well as the many who have already signed up to host forthcoming installments of the Review. (Context.)

2005.04.03 Show Notes

Today's podcast discusses fun with del.icio.us: aggregated feeds and traffic fragmentation, trackforwards, and "ICATT."

2005.04.03 (MP3, 4.1MB); select a quote

• del.icio.us; FeedBurner's SmartCast; BlawgCast.com; BlawgCast's feed explained


• Doug Kaye discusses concerns about being able to count listeners, and using a sampling license. Would commercially supported podcasters be put out by something like del.icio.us + SmartCast powered feeds? Presumably not, because all the download activity is directed to the original host, so the downloads can all be counted (given the right software; what is the right software, anyone?), and there's no copying involved. (As far as IT Conversations goes, links to media files are dynamically genrated, so I don't know/don't think this scenario would work with that material (?).) But the existence of good aggregated feeds might cause listeners to unsubscribe from the individual feeds being aggregated. Does anyone care?
