At the upcoming SEMpdx sixpack event*, I was supposed to give a 15 minute talk about Blogs and RSS in a generic sort of way that might appeal to the broadest variety of users… Pardon me while I yawn for a minute. Do you really need to be told again that user...

I picked a great day to drop my Blackberry in downtown Portland… One of the best phones I’ve ever had, (8703e) bounced once then landed in a 3 inch deep puddle. It worked for about a minute, then the screen started flickering, then it made a little fizzing...
