I just noticed that I’m unable to reach some very specific blogs. Could it be my net connection or is the fun just beginning?
Update 8:40pm: The sites are back up, no explanations.

No, really, I do have a life outside the confines of my computer screen. Case in point. Yesterday we spent the better part of the day looking for whales out in the seas beyond Boston harbor. We saw two humpbacks! Our guide was pretty floored. Apparently this is a rare occurrence in recent years.
After the whale watch we took the kids—several families were involved here—for ice cream at Quincy Market. Sun shining, musicians playing…it was a beautiful day.
Dave asked me to keep a list of feature’s I’d like to see in Radio’s outliner. Here ya go.
National Do Not Call Registry. Ahhh, life is good.

Here are some more thoughts about Echo:
So what can we conclude? Programmer grumbling is unfortunate but it is no match for the roar of happy users. If Echo does not deliver something substantially better than what came before, we will have a net loss. Will Echo deliver? I sure hope so.
Wendy and Jessica and I were having a conversation about bloggy things (see the next post) on our walk home after the post-meeting dinner. Wanting to write about the conversation in my weblog, I asked “Okay if I blog this?”. Then we laughed, because it was such a funny yet appropriate thing to say. Soon to be heard in a conversation near you.
See you at the Berkman. Where are we going for dinner tonight? Hopefully somewhere with outdoor seating.
