Someone named TDavid has published

a long piece about podcasting and the Winer vs. Curry fracas.

Note that reading this is only indicated if one feels the need to self-flagellate or otherwise punish oneself. Look down to Carnell’s comment for the bottom line on the whole ridiculous thing.

Tod Maffin has news

that Canadian cell providers are working together: New national Wi-Fi network could threaten radio at his I Love Radio weblog.

I think these companies have much bigger hills to climb before this news amounts to anything – they have to understand the basics of their market, for one thing – and so this is more interesting as a combination to keep competitors from entering the marketplace than it is on its own merits. But it bears watching nevertheless.

One of the things I’m going to miss most about moving away from here is that in the park in front of our house there are 6 beautiful sakura. When they bloom – for only about a week every year – they enliven the whole neighbourhood.

Paul Ford has written

May 24, 2005 by Michael Boyle

the only coherent contribution that I have seen supporting the NYTimes.com decision to start charging for content: The Times they is a’chargin’. He correctly notes that the Times should, in order to be successful, do several things to mitigate against the negative public effect of hiding articles behind a pay-wall. For me, absent those modifications the new policy is a negative one for both the web and for the Times – but if they were to take his advice seriously, I would definitely reconsider my feelings about this kind of thing.
