People 2.0
Posted on Aug 29 2006 | Tagged as: observations, technology
(This is very “stream of consciousness”, but what’s a blog named “Meanderings” for, if not to meander?)
With all the focus on “Web 2.0” these days, I think we’re collectively forgetting that while the internet (and technology in general) is evolving to allow us to more easily collaborate and share anything and everything, we as humans also need to evolve in order to manage and cope with it.
May I see your ID, please?

I see this happen time and again at bars:
- Someone (more often than not, female) walks up to the bar and asks for a drink
- The bartender asks to see their ID
- They throw a fit, insulted by the fact that they have to prove they’re of legal age
Blogger beta? Bugger! I’m bugging out!
Posted on Aug 23 2006 | Tagged as: blogger, blogging
As you may or may not know, Blogger’s getting an upgrade, Google-style. Currently, the new version of Blogger’s in beta … and Google’s only letting a handful of blogs convert over. While the possibilities are exciting (Google has done practically nothing with Blogger/Blogspot since they bought it), if this runs anything like Google Analytics did up until recently (limited access, could never get in, could never get an account because they didn’t have capacity), I’m not impressed.
In fact, I’m moving … at least for the time being. I’ve set up a new blog over here, and will be redirecting the feedburner feed in that direction shortly (those of you connected via feedburner shouldn’t have to change a thing). If you’re connected to the blogspot Atom feed, however, you’re gonna want to shift.
