Ordering a Canon HV30. Finally making the jump to a new, hi-def video camera.

Wow – Safari 3.1 really is blazing fast.

First Gary Gygax dies. Now Arthur C. Clarke. Not a good week for geek heroes.

Vista SP1 has totally hosed my WiFi card. How ridiculous can Vista get. It worked fine before.

Obamas “More Perfect Union” speech one of the most amazing I’ve ever heard a politician give. Brave and inspiring.

I got a fun opportunity to attend a really nice event hosted by True Ventures, Automattic, Sphere, New York Times and Hearst Interactive at the Hearst Tower. It was a collection of who’s who in the publishing/media sector and some great companies with some innovative web stuff. Big thanks to Raanan over at Automattic for thinking of me. Two fanboy moments of chatting with Matt Mullenweg, the creator of WordPress and Lindsay Campbell formerly of Wall Strip and now at MobLogic.tv. Also saw Rupert Murdoch, Kevin Ryan, Toni Conrad, and more.

In September 2007 I came up with the idea of using a Yahoo! Pipe to create the Thingelstad Superfeed. The basic idea was to provide one feed that you could get all my “stuff” with. It seems it was a good idea, since a couple of companies are now doing exactly this. I setup a profile on FriendFeed to play with and I have to admit that I was more impressed than I expected.

FriendFeed replicates a lot of social networking concepts, but to use it as a basic way to consolidate information on friends it works really well. It makes adding additional feeds really simple, and has built in hooks to many of the most popular websites out there.Check it out, you may find it pretty cool, and feel free to add me as a friend.

• Finally checking into the Westin. Long day.
• The broadband in this hotel is horrible.
• Westin gets my vote for best bed in any recent hotel.

Heading to dinner at Tamarind in New York for meeting with Sapient.
