I just paid $6.95 for a day of wifi access here in the Newark Airport. Nobody except Tom Hanks uses a full day of airport wifi access, do they? I wish I could sell off my unused hours. Someone want to set up a little airport market for buying and selling unusued capacity?
AKMA documents Pippa‘s latest turning of the world into art. Very cool.
I’m in the lovely lounge at the Newark Airport, waiting for my 19-hour flight to Singapore. But my client put me into business class which looks pretty spiffy, so I’m not complaining. Besides, I get to go to Singapore.
I got here at 6pm from Boston, and waited until 7:15 for the Singapore Air counter to open. For half an hour, a crew of the young and beautiful (six women, two men … and guess who was in charge! (Hint: He pees standing up)) put out poinsettias, stacked cards, and unrolled carpets, all without ever making eye contact with us. It was like watching a play get set up.
Anyway, unless business class includes magic air-blogging, don’t expect to hear from me on Monday. Have a nice day on the planet while I’m up in the air.

Dan Gillmor blogs that he’s leaving the san Jose Mercury News in order to start a citizen-journalism project.
This is a big deal. Dan is one of the most respected journalists around, a man of perfect integrity and great vision. And guts. Something exciting is in the wind.
Joi, who’s in the room, has set up a chat channel for the Berkman conference: harvardbits at irc.freenode.net. See you there.
This morning, MovableType’s internal ui is all squished to the left. This happened when I was installing the upgrade to 3.1, and it was because I had put styles.css into the wrong directory. Once I [put it into the right place, it worked fine. I didn’t move anything since then, and the styles.css is right where it’s supposed to be, but MT seems not to care.
Any suggestions?

Getcha free Berkman newsletters heah! They’re a mix of announcements of events and substantial briefings on projects in which various Berkpeople are engaged.
This worm farm comes personally recommended to me. Thought you might want to know.
I’m leaving for Singapore on Sunday, arriving Tuesday morning. I’m keynoting the International Conference on Knowledge Management on Wednesday morning and giving a full day workshop on “conversational marketing” (I seem to have written an article on the topic here) at the Singapore Institute of Management. I leave on Friday morning. That doesn’t give me a lot of time for seeing the sights. Heck, it doesn’t leave me a lot of time for changing my underwear.
Any suggestions for things to do, not to do, to buy, to try? Any mistakes I’m bound to make when it comes to cultural differences?
