Sunday, August 15, 2004 at 7:03AM She pulled up next to me in her diesel Mercedes with the bad brakes and confirmed it: I've become someone who looks like she knows where Build-A-Bear is. "Where's Build-A-Bear?" she pressed, without even so much as a good morning. And mind you this was while the stroller and baby were still well concealed in my car.

I'm looking in particular for all the excellent talks, presentations, etc., that John Palfrey and Dave Winer point to from time to time. Through some fortunate code glitch, the Weinberger and Rheingold MP3s have been living at the bottom of the Harvard weblog aggregator for a long time, so I finally got around to hearing them. These things are full of provocative ideas (and make tremendous adult company while out with the stroller).
