It's not really a joke. Why are you doing this -- what's the goal? Another chest thumper? More insider silicon valley bullshit? These events are so utterly useless. - Dave Winer

lol - xero

Dave: goals? Introduce the real-time web to fast company's readership (about a million people, most of whom are not on Twitter or friendfeed). 2. find out when we'll get the features that businesses need to use the realtime web. Real direct messaging, for instance. Much better tracking of terms. How new businesses can be built on top of the real time web. Mike Arrington just laid into me because I'm doing real time web work instead of blogging. He has a point because at least with a blog he can monetize. - Robert Scoble

3. Have a fun meetup where people who care about this stuff can get together. 4. Find out what the leaders are going to do next. - Robert Scoble

Humans like to get together. Dealing with each other on Twitter is fun and all, but at some point I like to get together with these people and talk face-to-face. You had an election night party for the same reason. - Robert Scoble

...I hear a chest thumping alright--just can't decide which direction it's coming from... - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Okay sounds good -- hopefully you'll get a big room so the million people can fit into it. :-) - Dave Winer

Rob: http://www.scripting.com/stories... -- ahh, Dave likes to get together with other smart people and meet face-to-face too. Goal? Seems that one goal is to make media and put them up on your blog! (That's certainly one goal of my meeting here). - Robert Scoble

Okay, I withdraw my objection, mostly I thought it was ironic to put 2 weeks forethought into a "real time" event. :-) - Dave Winer

If you want something spontaneous to work out well, plan the hell out of it. - David HC Soul

I like this idea alot, just bummed I am in boring Rochester, not SF, NYC or LA where you all might meetup! Although I may be in NYC in January 2009 - Susan Beebe

Ha! I liked Dave's original dig at Scoble - even though there's the tautology that ALL conference real-time. I mean, how could they be otherwise? - Nick in Manila

Heh, I am already planning some things for October. - Robert Scoble

Robert let me know if you ever want to do project mgmt I can use some good PMs over here! and you're quite the planner! :) - Susan Beebe

I was a PS3 early adopter and while I'm looking forward to little big planet, I have to say that my Xbox 360 is totally the better gaming machine. - C. K. Sample III

ya im just getting into the new experience now, streaming netflix is a pretty killer feature. not to mention most people I multiplayer with are xbox exclusive as well. - sean percival

the PS3 is still a good deal if you also want a Blu-ray player... that happens to play games including the handful of console-exclusives worth picking up. Otherwise totally agree the 360 wins this round of consoles both in terms of title library and the multiplayer/social experience of XBLA. - barb dybwad

In a word? If you want a game system...no. Xbox 360 is totally better in just about every way, other than lack of Blu-Ray player and fan noise. If you just want a Blu-Ray player, you are better off waiting for the Oppo BDP-83. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I'm probably going to ruffle a few feathers here... but the Wii definitely has the games that I'm now interested in. Stuff to get your butt off the couch and actually do something. My button mashing days are long long over. - Harold

totally agree harold, we got the wii fit. its the only exercise i get, sad but atleast i get something! - sean percival

depends on what kind of "gamer" you are. the wii is fun, but it has its limitations and gets old real quick. the sbox has lots of choices, but it mired by hardware failures and lack of reliability. the ps3 has lots going on with regard to multimedia offerings and lots of room for expandability. the games are just as varied though perhaps not as plentiful as the xbox, but then again the xbox has lots of awful games. - Cee Bee

No. Not yet anyway. PS3 pricecut in April is likely. http://www.shacknews.com/onearti... - Alan Le

I really want little big planet too-but cannot justify getting a PS3 for just that game. - Kelly W.

One thing to keep in mind if you are going to buy a PS3 and have a catalog of PS2 games is that only certain older PS3s are compatible with PS2 games. There are only three models that have backwards compatibility, and only two of them are hardware based. I just bought a PS3, and I wish I would've done a little more research first. :/ http://www.joystiq.com/2008... - donato

That article pretty much pegs it. And I happen to fall into the category of gamer that the PS3 works great for. Not a big online player. But the way Sony has dropped the ball with the PS3 and PSP is seriously disappointing. I have all 3 consoles and while the video quality differences between the 360 and PS3 are negligible to me, the 360 online options definitely far surpass the PS3. - ronin

Really loving the Cut Copy album (In Ghost Colours) that @peterrojas got me obsessed with while we were in NY.

"From hanging out with rock bands to hitting on twentysomething women at bars, Bill seems to be going through his own unique midlife crisis. He's not a boozy, sweaty party hound who gets caught on camera cheesing it up with pretty young girls (see: Mel Gibson, Bono); rather, he's more like a ghost in the night, who shows up out of nowhere, engages in utterly random conversations and then exits gracefully—leaving witnesses to wonder what the hell just happened. Deadpan, detached and seeming a bit lonely, Bill Murray is NYC's most unlikely new party guy." - Steve Isaacs from Bookmarklet

Robbing the cradle, huh? He looks traumatized though. hahaha - Shevonne

I'd love to keep an eye on him.. anyone willing to supply me with accommodation and an income for the duration and I'll go round parties with him. The guy is a legend! :) - alphaxion

This is actually not a new thing for Bill. And, it is not just house parties. For over a decade, Bill has loved popping up in strange places and interacting directly with people. He hates the protective layer in which so many celebs are shrouded. - Christopher Sacca

Notice how his skin looks kind of sallow compared to the girls? needs a facial. All men should use a scrub in the shower over age 35. - Patricia

Fuckin' awesome. Makes me love him even more. - Vincent X

Bill. Call me. You rock and I want to party with you! We can go kill some golphers - Morgan

well bill is recently divorced (or in the midst of divorce procedings) kinda makes sense.....he's sad and lonely....and trying to recapture his youth.....and maybe get a lil sum-sum in the process........play on playa...........i hope im still trying when/if im his age.......kudo's to him for gettin back out there !!! - UncleCreepy13

Bill Murray is, IMO, perhaps the most underrated actor working today. He deserved to win that Oscar for Lost In Translation. The face he's making in the picture looks to me like the same face he's been making for thirty years... just a little older. - Vicarbott

sounds like he's sort of living the role he played in "Lost in Translation"...and that wasn't exactly a "feel good" movie, ya know? - .LAG liked that

Lost in Translation is one of the best movies of the last 20 years inmyopion. Great soundtrack. Great acting. Funny and touching and realistic and awesome. Great great fun watching it and watching it again - Morgan

yeah bill. you are getting poon while the rest of us have to work for it. you rock. try to cheer the hell up would you? and here's another idea....release an album of you singing karaoke. your song in the movie was excellent. - Morgan

+1 @morgan on "lost in translation"...based on this article, it may have been a case of bill murray's art imitating his life. - .LAG liked that

An interesting article on an interesting icon. I found his performance in Lost in Translation brilliant. That film is certainly in my top 5 favorite films of all time. - Thomas Hawk

This is brilliant. Apparently Bill Murray has discovered that his fame allows him to walk in pretty much anywhere he wants and be accepted, even welcomed. What a strange world NYC would be if you didn't feel any social barriers and could just participate anywhere you found something interesting (or mundane). Then again, maybe fame isn't required, just a certain mindset. - Kevin Fox

Bill Murray has one thing that many people -- famous or not -- lack, which would allow him to drift into almost any social situation and be accepted and welcomed: he's funny. ftw! - .LAG liked that

I started a little email chain with a few NYC friends on Facebook and out of the 5 people I asked, 1 had heard that Bill Murray had rocked up to a Halloween party around the corner from her in Brooklyn (where his son lives, apparently), and another had a friend who was working on an archaeological dig in Cyprus where, randomly, Bill Murray rocked up and started pitching in with manual labour - carrying equipment back and forth - on and off for a couple of weeks.

"The long-awaited cross-platform media player Songbird officially reaches its 1.0 release today. The open-source application—built on the same platform as Firefox—promises to bring exciting new innovations to a software jukebox market that has become arguably quite stale. Like Firefox, Songbird is extensible, meaning that users can customize the look, feel, and features of Songbird to their heart's content. We took you on a screenshot tour of Songbird last month, and from a feature standpoint, not much has changed. From a functionality standpoint, Songbird has gotten much, much better..." - endiaferon from Bookmarklet
