I've come to to love reading Wil Wheaton's blog: WWdN: In Exile. Today he describes meeting a fan who worked 10 years to get autographs of the whole ST:TNG cast - Wil was the last she needed:

After coming up with a solution to how to implement the blog:via machine tag on this site, I turned my attention this morning to how to do something interesting with it.

There's a good discussion (in the comments) on CreativeBits about recovering from getting your first logo idea rejected, with some good thoughts on determining the actual target of an identity.

I found myself today re-titling, converting to markdown, and tagging about 150 blog posts that came over from this site's days on Editthispage.com, when each day was a post and every day was titled "Redmonk.News". While doing so I got to thinking about how I attribute links to various sources. Mostly I used the common idiom, the word "via" and the name of the blogger/source, with a link to the site or post where I found the link/idea.
