Hey gang,

I’m sorry. I thought I’d be able to catch up tonight but I’m not going to make it, I still have about 8,072 feeds to catch up on and it’s 2 a.m.

This NPPA Multimedia Immersion Seminar (I’m co-chair if you hadn’t heard) is in critical final planning/debating stages and consuming a lot of my time. That, coupled with several projects at the day job, two freelance gigs and general life stuff (trying to make sure I get out the door in the morning with deodorant, brushed teeth and pants … one of which I won’t have to worry about on Friday!). … I’m just not seeing how I’m going to pull of blogging much this week. I’ll do my best to get caught up … maybe pull an all nighter or something. But no promises. :\ Full refunds will be available at the front desk.

Keep rockin’.
Will

P. S. Until I return, check out:

• The freaking social media riot on Digg: “A Digg.com user is claiming he got the boot from Digg for posting the HD-DVD AACS Processing Key number to the popular news aggrigation and filtering site. The processing key, a string of numbers only a hacker could love, is key to unlocking copy-protected High Def movies. In other words: it’s a DMCA no-no for you to know, citizen consumer.” The rampant reposting of the code has really gotten outa hand, but this is a revolution. … or something.
• Bulk up on Multimedia Shooter Koci is the man, his last like few (hundred) posts deserve to be featured here. Just go suckle at his teat.
• Do your part for No Pants Day on Friday.
• Geek out on Saturday’s Free Comic Book Day.
• Spend some time reading, “How the Local Newsroom of the Future Might Operate” and also check out, “How to Save Newspapers“
• Peruse the gazillion Webby Award winners.
