It's kind of amazing, but before I have even arrived at ETech, I have been spammed by several companies wanted me to check out their products -- Adobe, Intuit, something called Attensa, and something else called SMS.ac. Spammers all.
It is sad to see O'Reilly allowing this kind of use of their attendee list, and ironic given the topic of the conference -- the attention economy. Has my attention been sold? I would never have given O'Reilly my real email address if I had known they were going to give it over to spammers. Not a great start.

I hope to have this weblog transitioned over to Wordpress in the near future, so that I can have commenting up and working again. Until then, please feel free to send me your comments via my email contact form.. Please ignore everything below this comment.
