New Year, New Entry
It's been an incredibly long time since I've posted a message to my blog. Ironically, the whole time I didn't feel like posting I was designing blogging software.
Anyhoo, I felt inspired to post something today. Not necessarily because of the new year.
Here are a couple highlights from today's blog troll.

- The product owners of Microsoft, Yahoo!, and Google's e-mail apps sit down for a dinner conversation
- BoingBoing's Cory Doctorow muses about Amazon.com's new author blogs
