About Six Apart - Mena's Corner: I take the bait

I could write about how women are represented in our tools or in Six Apart itself. I could write a 2,000 word essay on how more and more young women are coming online via tools like LiveJournal. Or how the booming population of cooking, knitting and family weblogs have resulted in many new communities with a dominant female presence, across all three of our platforms.

I hope she does!

Hey pal...

My name is Fred. I used to have some corny web pages posted on metascene.net but obviously, I slept on the domain renewal thing. I know I hadn't been too dillignet about updating it lately, but I do sorta plan to start posting stuff again and it would be really...I dunno. I guess I have a sentimental kind of attachment to the metascene thing, it being my first domain and all. Especially since it was a gift. Anyway, I guess I am asking if there is any way you could find it in your skintied heart to sell it back to me. You can contact me at metascene@hotmail.com. You would really be doing me a solid.

Thanks for your conisderation,

Fred

Well, I think five years away is long enough, don't you?

Too damn long, if you ask me.

Silicon Valley (Version 2.0) Has Hopes Up says the New York Times. Among the optimists is a member of a startup company producing products for the “Web log” market:

"It feels like we're 12 months, 18 months away from the equivalent of the Netscape I.P.O.," said Andrew Anker, a former venture capitalist who this month became executive vice president at Six Apart, a start-up based in Silicon Valley that aims to help businesses publish Web logs, or blogs.

In 2000, according to the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, 55 percent of the region's major freeway miles were snarled in traffic during commuting hours, compared to less than 40 percent in 2002, the latest year with data available.

"The bleeding has stopped," said Alex Resnik, a part-owner of Spago Palo Alto. No longer do "three youngsters in their late 20's spend $3,000 on dinner," he said with a frown, but the restaurant is starting to do a brisk business again in wines that sell for $60 a bottle.

Are most of the people who elect our next President going to grasp, or care, that an insidious pro-authoritarian philosophy is the altar at which the Bush zealots worship?

I wouldn't make some false claims to safety now that the neighborhood's changing dramatically, in the same way that I wouldn't take credit for being a gentrifier.

But, the reality is, I was one of the "first-wave" gentrifiers. In real estate lingo, according to my co-worker Ryan, I exemplify "the risk oblivious." As the Saint-Ex crew builds up strength in my neighborhood, I will no doubt begin to lament the changes taking place.

It is like trying to figure out the origin of water—I mean FIRST WATER—I mean the first time hydrogen and oxygen ever fucked! Skull Bolt.

Blogs Against War aggregates posts for peace across a growing number of weblogs. If you use Movable Type, it’s easy to have links to (and excerpts of) your peace-related posts show up on Blogs Against War automatically. If you don’t use Movable Type, there’s a form you can fill out which will accomplish the same thing. I really hope this takes off. Please encourage your favorite peacebloggers to contribute.

Other weblogs about peaceblogs:
• "PeaceTrack is a site devoted to gathering reports of peace activities"
• Peaceblogs.org is a site devoted to making connections between bloggers who oppose the impending war against Iraq
• Diveintomark.org has collected a list of blogs for peace

MetaFilter in the Ruins

“The Weblog Kitchen explores current research in weblogs, wikis, and other hypertext systems.”

I'll post 150 updates in a day (for my purposes, from 12:01 a.m. PST Tuesday, January 21, 2003 to 12:01 a.m. PST Wednesday, January 22, 2003) to this entry, playing along by bolding the entries' numbers (like so: [#1], [#2] and so on), typing at least two sentences per update and resorting to lists and other content-producing gimmicks on an as-needed basis.

I’ve been sleeping on wimminandminorities.com but it’s time to WAKE UP!

The good folks at Eatonweb might want to tweak their portal a bit; it’s less than accurate to suggest that the Aryan Revolutionary Digest is a weblog similar to randomWalks.

If odd bits of news information is what you seek — you’ll be easily delighted in this site, but unfortunately there are many sites out there quoting random bits of news, and in no way does Random Walks come out on top.

Unlike Andre the Giant, Metafilter has a Wiki.
