Work today has been slow. Seems like there are quite a few meetings and discussions going on that don't involve me. While on one hand, that's good, (Any meeting I'm not in is a good meeting in my book) the other hand is worried because these meetings usually wind up with discussions about all the cool things people think we can do with technology, that we really can't do. So they spend an inordinate amount of time getting excited about something, bring it to me, and I tell them why we can't do that now, and how much it will cost to get the ability to do that. Then they get mad at me for ruining their excitement and I get to hear stuff from my boss about how mean and intimidating I am to the rest of staff. Somehow, while I'm not important enough within the organization to include on planning discussions, I am important enough to be viewed as the person putting the veto to them. Go figure.

Dane Carlson has some tips on driving in fog. Very useful stuff to those of us who haven't ever lived in areas where dense fog is all that common.

Scoble has moved his blog to a new location, thereby breaking the "by-the-book" rule of never changing the address of pages other people may be linking to. Bad Robert, bad....I never much cared for half of the "by-the-book" rules anyway, most of them aren't that big a deal. It's what, one more click to the new space for most people? Get over it. Update: Talked to Scoble on ICQ earlier, seems the new URL may just be temporary and they may change it to something easier to remember. So he's going to break links again, I guess. I think he's trying to create a mysterious aura about where his blog has gone from day to day.
