Miscellanea: IT Famous(?) and the Programmable Web

IT Famous(?)

I'm walking down the street in San Francisco the other day and happened to be wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the name of my employer. As I passed a group of people on the sidewalk, one them noticed the t-shirt and asked, with particular interest, "You work for ?" Now, there's nothing particularly special about my employer having some name recognition (and this person knew about us via one of our IT-famous-dudes), but it's the first time that has happened to me. I felt ever so slightly like a celebrity. Maybe I should go down to LA and try to be famous-famous :-)

The Programmable Web

I usually reserve the adjective "dope" for hip-hop songs (I also show my hip-hop age by using that particular adjective). But... Jott to Remember The Milk integration is dope, very dope indeed.
