Australian newspaper The Age has an article on why bloggers blog.
If you're blogging but for some reason don't know why, maybe you can find a reason in this 11.500 chars / 2010 words long article, that's quite a lot. :)

BusinessWeek Online has created a nifty CEO guide to Web 2.0.
Even though it's ment for the chief executive officers, I believe the rest of us can read it as well :-)
A nice piece to read, if you're wondering what this Web 2.0 thing is all about (and what it can do to your business).

The story
In the past weeks, I've been getting more and more spam about buying valium and all sorts of drugs. Often these [...]

I'm terribly sorry, but I haven't had the time yet to write more about the Samtalerne conference.

Today I attended a very interesting conference called Samtalerne (Danish for conversations).
The day started off with me and Euan Semple, a former BBC employee, getting trapped at the stairs of the university of Copenhagen. Being inside an elevator that won't go anywhere is a great way to network, I tell you :-)
I'll do a more [...]

I just pre-ordered this book, called "WordPress Pro Development".
I haven't really been able to find any other information about the book, except »Deals with computers/software«, as Amazon writes.
