Some people have got their nuts all twisted up over not being invited to O'Reilly's Foo Camp. Poor babies. The older I get, the less I understand Dave Winer. And the happier I am to have knocked off the RSS 2 feed from this site. I will say - I did that purely for spite for his whole "Movable Type's RSS is Funky" snarky comment. RDF has gotten all my love since then.
And - just to spite you all - I'm going to host a really mean game of scrabble at some point soon. We'll talk tech, I'm sure (probably game AI and component architectures). None of you are invited.
Pbbbbbbbbbt!
That's right. I said "really mean game of scrabble." I mean it too. Someone's going to choke on a game piece by nights end.
But seriously, Dave, It was O'Reilly's affair. They can invite whomever they want. So your event was inclusive - I still can't even fathom why there needs to be a conference about blogging. You type some text, it gets posted online, people can subscribe to be notified of new posts, what more needs to be said?
But seriously, someone's going to choke on a scrabble piece here. We're just the type of folks to whom "I'm going to take that Q and shove it down your throat!" is NOT an idle threat.
This is why we don't play Risk any more.
