"Hmm...I hear what you're saying (I came here from G+ rather than Facebook, but that's just substituting one Goliath for another). That being said, I think there's a goodness to you posting here vs. in whatever walled garden (a goodness I haven't done a good job of emulating myself recently...I need to get on it!). You "own" this...if myspace/friendster/facebook/tumbler/friendfeed disappears, your postings there go with it. I think there's something important there. That being said, Anil hits on it when he points out we shouldn't war amongst ourselves re: Wordpress v. Movable Type v. Drupal v. etc...just be happen you're out of the walled garden!! Encourage the wild growth...we need it." - Ken Kennedy

Looked like something you'd be interested in." - Ken Kennedy

"Huh-freakin-zah, my friend. I couldn't agree more. Well said. I like tablets...I got a Kindle Fire for Christmas, and I think it's great. Even for reading (surprisingly). But where do I *lose* myself in a novel. On my e-ink (2nd gen) Kindle. And I *like* losing myself in novels..." - Ken Kennedy

"I'm pretty sure you hit the nail on the head, Paul. Best Buy would be happiest if we stayed out in the car, and tossed our wallet into the store for them to rifle through." - Ken Kennedy

"Unsubscribed....NOT! *grin*" - Ken Kennedy

"Well, Ron Paul has a well-established history of not actually watching/reading work done in his name, so perhaps he'll end up disavowing this too..." - Ken Kennedy
