Boing Boing Wins a Webby!
I'm a very proud Band Manager today: Boing Boing won another Webby this year, in fact, it won two – both the Webby award (decided by judges), as well as the People's Voice, which was decided by a popular vote. Way to go, gang! Noted: Google won a number…

Noted: Google won a number of them as well, in various categories, including Best Practices.
Page at UMich: Slashdot Ponders
A Slashdotter and recent UMich engeineering grad records Larry Page's commencement speech at UMich. From the thread: "(He spoke on) topics ranging from dropping out of Stanford to start Google to "Thinking Big" and the abundance of venture capital to traveling to Mars, curing world hunger, and well, much…

I can't help thinking this is not the best image in the world for Google. On the other hand, I really love the passion and, well, sense of wonder this guy shows in his Google Blog posting. In essence, he came up with the idea of painting a mural…
I can’t help thinking this is not the best image in the world for Google. On the other hand, I really love the passion and, well, sense of wonder this guy shows in his Google Blog posting.
In essence, he came up with the idea of painting a mural of a massive robot connecting the globe through wires, inspired by Google data centers (the mural hangs in one).
Reminds me of the original, from Paul Ford’s classic Google Takes All essay:

Type in AIG, Get Spitzer
He's running on his record….Apparently gubernatorial candidate and noted white collar crimebuster Elliot Spitzer bought AdWords for "AIG" on Google (he busted them while on watch as NY Atty Gen), but when I tried it, I got an ad for "shortgoogle.com." Huh….

Tim Bray, now at Sun, is interviewed in this issue of ACM Queue. A fine read, in particular if you like history and present day issues around RSS, RDF, and XML. Tim was one of the first folks I spoke to about search, and I'm very glad I did….

Webbys Move to NYC
I've always been a fan of the Webbys, a somewhat tongue-in-cheek celebration of all that is good on the Web. I am also a fan and friend of Tiffany Shlain, the Webby's creator and creative director. The past few years have been hard on the event, which was scaled…
I’ve always been a fan of the Webbys, a somewhat tongue-in-cheek celebration of all that is good on the Web. I am also a fan and friend of Tiffany Shlain, the Webby’s creator and creative director. The past few years have been hard on the event, which was scaled back to online only, but this year its back with a vengeance – it will move to New York and be hosted by the Daily Show’s Rob Corddry.
I’ve been a judge of the Webbys for years, and this year is no exception. I’ve also seen the hard times Tiffany and her team had to endure – including the struggle to get the event out from under the somewhat suffocating embrace of the wrong owner. They managed to do just that last year, and now more independent, the event is once again finding its voice. I very much wish it well, and hope that in the move to NYC, it won’t forget its California roots.
