after spending the day packing, and the evening moving in the rain - more of a mist than a downpour, thankfully - and watching my nephew and a friend of his lifting double dish packs on their backs (amazing!) i just dragged myself online, checked twitter, and found this awesome article on our 'blogging dream team', by marshall kirkpatrick of readwriteweb. if you don't follow marshall on twitter, you should - his no nonsense, incisive tweets are always a breath of fresh air ... cheers & thanks for the comprehensive coverage of crowd fusion and obsessable, marshall!
obsessable - personal technology ...
Posted on September 24, 2008 by Judith Meskill
following brian's lead, here is obsessable's blog format news listing, for people who like to read the whole site in a single page.
and here are some of his favorite product profiles:
unlike brian, i don't have all of these devices (except brian doesn't have the unreleased Storm and the Android phone, a matter of time i say!)
a very cool thing that we are doing with obsessable is providing our first application that we've built on top of our data, the comparator:
i've received great feedback from some of my 'ungeekier' friends, saying things like: "obsessable is very cool, judith. i have found it easy to use and very informative - even for me to understand. well done!" which reinforces for me that we are doing a good thing with obsessable in making personal tech more personal for a wider audience. sweet ... /smile

obsessable ...
to all my friends who wonder where i've been,
it's work that's kept me from this flickr stream,
obsessing on the site you'll find herein,
so take a peek to see my latest dream ... <3<3<3

wordle me ...
clay shirky twittered about wordle.com this morning and so i thought i'd give it a try.
i used: straighter edges, horizontal, 'lucida sans', and the 'heat' color palette ... i think i like it ...

i know the butterfly ...
"... THE BEE is not afraid of me,
I know the butterfly;
The pretty people in the woods
Receive me cordially.
The brooks laugh louder when I come,
The breezes madder play.
Wherefore, mine eyes, thy silver mists?
Wherefore, O summer’s day? ..."

cabbage white butterfly ...
"... THE BUTTERFLY obtains
But little sympathy,
Though favorably mentioned
In Entomology.
Because he travels freely
And wears a proper coat,
The circumspect are certain
That he is dissolute.
Had he the homely scutcheon of modest Industry,
’T were fitter certifying for Immortality ..."

yesterday i stepped into the garden to catch what turned out to be a nanosecond of repose for this cabbage white butterfly that was flitting about the liatris ... happy weekend, dear friends ... xo

buccaneers of buzz ...
Posted on June 6, 2008 by Judith Meskill
"... Bees are Black, with Gilt Surcingles --
Buccaneers of Buzz.
Ride abroad in ostentation
And subsist on Fuzz.
Fuzz ordained -- not Fuzz contingent --
Marrows of the Hill.
Jugs -- a Universe's fracture
Could not jar or spill ..."

i guess certain bloggers would be considered 'buccaneers of buzz' too, eh? /smile

dame's rocket ...
"... I cannot meet the Spring unmoved --
I feel the old desire --
A Hurry with a lingering, mixed,
A Warrant to be fair --
A Competition in my sense
With something hid in Her --
And as she vanishes, Remorse
I saw no more of Her ..."
