InfoWorld’s wireless columnist’s wrong-headed column on free networks: Ephraim Schwartz’s latest head-scratcher makes me mad. I almost didn’t blog an entry on his wrong-headed column about why freenets won’t last, and I just can’t bottle it up inside. First, go and read the column.

K-Log Pilot Notes [1].
K-Log Pilot Notes. Within our team, we have been surprised at how well the team klog has helped us to have a better understanding of what each of us is currently working on.

Day 14: Adding titles to links. What with weblogs being all about links, you would think more people would know about the title attribute, but I rarely see it.

An Entrepreneur’s Walk. I was reflecting recently on the past 3 months, since we began working on Emergic. At that time, there were a number of ideas. I had a set of names for the things we wanted to do, but had little clue on how we would go about doing things. [My [E M E R G I C…
