So many places to post, too little time:

Yahoo! 360 is now available to the public, but by invitation-only. I can invite you if you're nice.

• Jess launched the She Said She Said radio blog. You can listen to shows there, but please don't, because I'm too embarassed.

• Yahoo! bought Flickr, and Andy finally convinced me to explore a teeny bit. Oh and John too, of course. Welcome to Yahoo!, John!

Plus I owe you photos from Sugar Ray, and the Beach House, and of pajama pants at Safeway. Do I post those here? There? Everywhere? All of these new "social networking" opportunities are a bit overwhelming, but in a good way. I think. Ask my wrists in a month.

Why are yoga mats almost always purple?

I thought it was weird that both AP and Reuters referred to Michael Jackson's outfit today as "smart." AP said:

Unlike last time, when a disheveled Jackson finally arrived in a coat, T-shirt and pajama bottoms, he wore a smart red jacket with a black armband and black slacks.

And Reuters said:

After causing a stir last week by arriving at court late, dressed in pajamas and looking shaky, Jackson was back to his popstar self on Monday, arriving on time in a bright red jacket and smart black pants with silver piping.

I mean, really?

I have to admit, I was a little disappointed in Bryan's lack of sheer and utter Nick-ness in our holiday photo. Blame it on a recent haircut and reshoot-induced grimacing. On the bright side, this disappointment inspired me to complete a little project I've been thinking about for a while. Behold, it's time to play --

Bryan, or Nick?

answers: #1 Nick, Bryan; #2 Bryan, Nick; #3 Bryan, Nick;
#4 Bryan, Nick; #5 Nick, Bryan


C'mon, that's at least a little bit funny.

I wrote this Very Important Opinion Piece for yahoo.com.

While Jess has been providing prolific accounts of our online, on-air, and on-stage whereabouts, I've decided to continue my one-word minimalist approach to blogging this month. Or at least this week.

My favorite photos of the past five days:

1. Man?

2. Woman.

3. Rawk!

4. Aw.

5. No!

Apologies for the recent spate of indecent exposure.

It's my company's birthday and you get free ice cream. Today only. So hurry your mint-chocolate-chip-loving self over to a nearby Baskin Robbins.

My coupon looks like this:



But you should get your own.

Also there's this 10-year "netrospective," for which I wrote an item or two. I'll let you guess which ones.

You're encouraged to comment.

Looking back at the last 10 years on the Internet (no more "Internets," I promise) was a fun exercise, and I'm ultimately incredibly grateful to work with 7,600 other people who understand that.

(In 1995, I was building My Very First Website for the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. I did this by working with our "webmaster," mapping content out in pencil, and literally walking up the hill to deliver floppy disks to the State House for uploading.)

Meanwhile, Jess wrote this netrospective of her own. It's long, but worth the read. Our personal netrospects have intertwined most interestingly over the last seven out of 10 years. She's really done all the work for me, making excellent points and finding some of the most sentimentally fabulous links, like Yahoo in 1996 and the "convergence" TV show we used to write for in 1998 and links I sent her in 2000 and red hair and platinum hair and hair-model hair.

While my hair's been merely dirty blond.

You should see our campus -- it's all sorts of purple. We'll take lots of photos.

Don't forget about the ice cream!
