Google Analytics is what I’ve been saying a search engine should have done years ago, provide hosted stats to any website that uses it. People love stats so this will get huge uptake, and probably provide Google really invaluable information. A year or so ago I hoped Technorati would do this for blogs, but they probably saw it as outside their core business. Interesting note: this is the first stat tracking javascript I’ve seen that validates as XHTML Strict. Good job, guys. (Most examples leave the language attribute.)

Customize Yahoo Maps. Okay that’s cool, I just wish the new Yahoo maps didn’t slow my comp down so much.

Round Top
Writing this from the beautiful town of Round Rock Top, TX. There is nothing quite like the open roads of Texas to clear your mind.

Panel Blogged
Shel Israel has been blogging the conference, and he liveblogged the panel I was on. He’s on the stage right now (with a lawyer and the woman from Delta who was fired for the pictures) so I’ll stop blogging and pay attention.

WordPress RSS
Since a couple of people have asked about it, I’ve already written a blog response to Scoble’s WP RSS post here. Part of it was definitely our fault, related to a web server problem and the datacenter move. (LiteSpeed has already released a new version that fixes the bug.)
Shure to Break
I’ve been mostly happy with my Shure E3C headphones, but I only got them because I had some E2Cs which the cable went bad on. Now, right before I get on a plane and need them most, one of the heads just broke off the E3C and I highly doubt I’m going to ever buy a Shure product again, and I’m no longer recommending them to friends. Fool me twice…

Paper Shredder
I just realized that I use a paper shredder not because I’m particularly concerned with the sensitivity of anything I deal with, but rather because it makes going through mail so much more fun and satisfying.

Jeff Nolan on Service
Jeff Nolan goes off about his washing machine. (Also, datacenter moves are rough, we’re doing one this weekend. I also moved photomatt.net a few days ago.)
