From “Read/WriteTalk: John Lilly – CEO, Mozilla“:
In the interview we review both the lessons he’s learned at Mozilla and his plans for the organization in the future. I also think many of the leaders at DataPortability.org will find his comments quite interesting.
Interesting. Very interesting!
And while I’m at it: See “New Video Explains the Basics of Data Portability“, if you’re unclear on the subject.

Via Stevey, who’s getting to be my official source of cool videos.
I watched Lakai Footwear‘s Fully Flared last night (thanks Stevey). Saying it’s the best sk8 video I have seen in years wouldn’t quite do it justice. It’s absolutely insane and I cannot recommend it enough.
My two favourite thrashers in the movie as far as style and technique, if I had to choose: Marc Johnson (by far) and Anthony Pappalardo.
I’m not going to say much more since I don’t want to spoil it for you, but do yourself a favour and go buy (or rent) it. You won’t regret it.
Oh, did I mention Spike Jonze was on the directors crew? Nuf’ said! :)
Update: I had to change the embedded video to a trailer, because it turns out the intro I had linked to got taken off YouTube. Oops. Just check out Lakai’s video archive for more clips.
From Joe’s shout:
It’s 6PM on a Thursday night and I’m about ready to head over to the Open Web Awards presented by Mashables.com to celebrate Digg’s wins with a few of my fellow Diggers. The only downer is that we don’t have more Diggers to share the fruits of our labor with.
I went to San Francisco last June to meet with the Digg team, and I can certify that if you have the skills, already live in the area or are willing to move there, you MUST apply. It’s not just for show, this team really rocks!
Unfortunately (arguably), I can’t move to SF, family and all, so this one’s not for me.
From “CUSEC 2008: making it fun!“:
