I leave tomorrow for another week-long ICANN meeting, and I'll report from there.  So today was a constructive Saturday.  Which meant a lot of talking and not so much reading or writing.  Hence -- nothing here except a link to Black Swans.

Big issues at ICANN:  new gTLDs, IDNs, protection for registrants, GNSO reform.  I'll try to translate.  We're meeting in Puerto Rico this time around.

The Lessig change is great.  It's always a good idea to do something completely different once in a while.  Every few years, re-examine the whole package.  Why are you doing what you're doing?  Is it fulfilling?

Most hated internet words here.  I'm giving a "talk about blogging" in a couple of weeks, and naturally the word "blog" is just about the most hated of all.  Perhaps I'll start by exploring what people think a blog is.  Snarky?  Self-satisfied?  Self-indulgent? Sappy?  Superficial?  Sanctimonious?  Other words that start with "s"?
