A friendly response from David Lynch when you fill in his little opt-in form. I wonder what Jakob N would have to say about this particular example of user feedback?

News: Google votes to put surfers in charge
"Google is engaged in a controversial experiment aimed at giving its users a say in ranking the sites--a move that could help the company cement its lead in the competitive Web-search market, or could potentially weaken its position."

Pen Computing Magazine: News: Comdex: Hawkins Keynote 2001
Who would have thought that a design genius could be a marketing genius too?
"And the Palm V was all about style and elegance." When the product marketing department came to ask for new features to be added to the Palm V, Hawkins said no. "I said, there are no new features going to go into this product." Even though he thought they were good ideas, he had a reason. "I figured if we added new features, then the reviewers would come out and say, 'Palm has three new features, Microsoft has 30 new features, Palm loses.' But if I had no new features, they couldn't do the features comparison chart! So all they could talk about was how thin and beautiful it was, and that was a very successful strategy."
You don't have to actually go to any of those industry conferences. You can just catch up on what all the fuss was about in digested form here at Conferenza. They even provide a newsletter and a Palm PQA.

Salon.com People | Appreciation: Ken Kesey
Decent riff on Kesey's life and work. Leans toward overworship, but not inappropriate.
I've been catching up with what ESR has been putting together. I read bits and pieces of this years ago, but with some experience it all has a different ring to it now.

Now and then I've used this handy little service. I don't know what I'll do without it if they ever have to shut it down. For fun, here's a link [Click Here] that'll create a "prc" file (a palm "doc" format file) of this here weblog page, that you can install on a Palm and read with any "doc" reader.

Comdex without laptops? - CNET.com
In the midst of post-September paranoia (much of it justified, of course), Comdex is now not allowing laptops. But isn't that a bit like Disney World without mouse ears?

Harry blown away by Star Trek The Motion Picture director's cut on DVD

any good at all and he said you can't
you can't you can never be sure
you die without knowing
whether anything you wrote was any good
if you have to be sure don't write...
