PACKING MY BLOGBAGS HERE FOLKS

Jayo drew my attention to two articles about naked
emperors, all encouraged by the announcement of a recent
blogging-freakin’-conference.

Looking around I found a few more amusing and quotable bits:

    Tomorrow, “except, well, without money”

  • href="http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/003219.html#003219">Teresa
    Nielsen-Hayden quotes the invitation in full

Did I mention that BloggerCon is a href="http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/1498.html">Dave href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/blogs/static/dave/letterfrommom.jpg">Winer
exercise?

    I’m enjoying watching various jackasses attempting to enact some kind of social pecking order upon “blogs”, while attempting to make endless blather and web-surfing seem like an important endevor…

    By contrast, the three-day long DefCon event costs just $75 and the excellent CodeCon conference, which also spans a long weekend, costs $95 (or $75 for students). Both are annual events, and bring together a high class international field of luminaries, and regularly make the news.

    HA HA HA HA HA.

    I also feel the need to point out that sam ruby has the WORST LAYOUT EVER. No sir, I don’t like reading 12 point verdana in a 250 pixel wide column.
