Truth out

A friend has been working hard on Internet Vets for Truth. He writes,

The Internets Veterans For Truth are a few long-time bloggers and techies who decided (in slackerly fashion, around the end of last week) that it might be a good idea to actually post up some of the clips that've been floating around online.

Lobbying

Standing in the lobby of the hotel with Drummond Reed, Mark LeMaitre and other folks I've been hanging with here at DIDW, talking about blogging. And this just got said, while we were talking about the neuronal nature of connectedness here:

Blogs are the cerebrum of the Net.

[Later, back home in CA...] Well, this is what happens when one blogs in haste while in transit. Here's the sentence that followed, which didn't get posted, because somehow I failed to save it — a fact I failed to discover until today (tomorrow, in respect to the date atop this post), more than 24 hours later...

Which is vain and wrong, but a one-liner I wanted to write down anyway, so I'm doing it here.

Naturally, I've been corrected, perhaps best by Ken Camp in Digital Common Sense:

This is the kind of fruitless, self-abuse in public til your get hairy palms and go blind crap that I pretty studiously aviod engaging in, but I feel compelled to counter.

Self aggrandizing bloggers who think they have more influence that they do yearn to be seen as the cerebrum of the net.

Well put. Mea bozo. Mea maximua bozo...

So I thought it was better to put that here, instead of in tomorrow's postings, so the correction is tied directly to the error.

Flying home today. Meanwhile, a pointer to my latest SuitWatch. which is about some cool stuff that we talked about here in Denver.
