Mårten is wonderful. SteveB and I just bumped into Mårten and his lovely (and equally brilliant) wife Anicka at the San Jose Airport. They were on there way to Phoenix to celebrate with MySQL..errr…new Sun execs. We were all delayed. Every time I speak with Mårten he impresses me. Now that I’ve met Anicka I’ll tell you I think she is even cooler. 
Anyway, in usual Mårten form he made me laugh my ass off, one particularly choice quote, which for his sake I’ll not put into context was: “It feels good, like when you pee in your pants…it’s warm.”
Data Sharing Summit is Back
Main Page - Data Sharing Summit
The Data Sharing Summit is back, and bigger.We received such a positive response to the Data Sharing Summit in September, 2007. And, given the ongoing emergence of different data sharing initiatives, such the finalization of the OpenID2 spec, emerging Open Social and other social graph API’s, the 1.0 release of the Higgins Framework, as dataportability.org, Social Networking Portability, FOAF and XFN as standards gaining traction, DiSO, MT activity feeds, etc. we decided that it was a good time to hold another summit.
Our purpose is to provide gathering spaces in which all parties can work together on the challenge of data sharing. We create the agenda the day it happens. It is about getting things done and figuring out the tough problems – there is no committee deciding who does or does not get to ‘present’ it is about breaking up and really diving in figuring out the solutions and building the consensus to get adoption.
We are pleased to announce the following two Data Sharing events:
* The Data Sharing Workshop, April 18 - 19 at the SFSU, Downtown Campus.
* The Data Sharing Summit, May 15, at the Computer History Museum.
I attended the first DSS last year. It was valuable, fun, and, with Kaliya as the facilitator, very well organized. I recommend it highly; although, I do not believe I’ll be able to make it this year I would merrily were my schedule to permit.

I was never really into Basketball when I attended UNC. It just seemed strangely jingoistic, but now I find myself oddly proud of being a UNC Alum when basketball season comes around. I’m not yet painting myself Carolina Blue or anything…or even watching the full game for that matter, but this photo does make me grin. Not only does Dook have a crappy Computer Science dept relative to UNC, but apparently they have a crappy basketball team in comparison too. What three frames could show UNC punking Duke in Computer Science…hrmm…
