I just watched the live webcast of two friends, Jay Rosen and Jeff Jarvis, give talks at TEDxNYED. They both did well. At the end of Jeff’s talk he told a story about about a big moment in our friendship. Of course he tells it from his point of view. I’m sure they’ll release a video of the talk so you can hear it. This is the story from my point of view.

Be wary of Google patents
Google has been pitching its use of open standards as a way to insure yourself against Google going away. That’s much appreciated, no sarcasm. All companies should plan for their users’ data surviving them. But my concern is what if Google doesn’t go away. This is a company that’s at least heavily influenced by lawyers, if not run by them. They aggressively patent. Personally, I’d rather not build a new ecosystem out of Google patents.

Trouble at Twitter?
Not sure what’s going on, if this is for everyone, or just a few, or just me.

Citizen coverage of Hawaii tsunami?
Like 23K others, I’m watching a live stream of a Honolulu television station previewing the tsunami that’s likely to hit Hawaii in the next couple of hours.

Caprica and repurposed virtualities
As you may know I’m a big fan of Battlestar Galactica, as I’m sure many of you are. I was satisfied with the ending of the series, but of course disappointed that I had to give up the habit. There really hasn’t been anything to fill the void.

Big change in the tech world
The moral of the story of the Facebook patent and all the recent news from Apple and Google: Tech companies are no better or worse than big companies in other industries.
