Connecting the Dots with Adam Curry

      Adam Curry may be my new best friend.  Meeting Adam on the eve of BloggerCon clarifies for me some of the crazy convergences underway in this beloved blogosphere, and at Dave Winer’s magnetic conference opening tonight. 


     Adam Curry was born into stardom on MTV in the late 1980s.  As the VJ host of the network’s “Top 20 Countdown,” he interviewed stars like Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney, and became himself an all-around pop icon.  Adam Curry today is still 6 feet 5 inches of blond Adonis, but his conversation and his work all crackle with his lifelong interest the hardware of communications.  


     To simplify the convergence I am seeing: Adam Curry comes now to the summit of blogging from The Netherlands and show business, with a head full of ideas about practical technology to liberate expressive international artists.  Dave Winer is a genius programmer and blogging pioneer who wants to use the human voice to focus and spread the blog gospel.  I’m a political journalist and talk-radio jockey who wants to use the free, global range of the Internet to extend the magic of good conversation.   So here we are at BloggerCon, scratching each other’s backs, learning fast and expecting to make something happen.  Here’s my first encounter with Adam.

    I ended up writing a few hundred word blog entry after listening to this. It can be found at:

    I like listening to your interviews, but may I offer a suggestion: your MP3s would be more useful if the ID3 tags were filled out. At some point these files will be separated from the original context and fully filled out tags reduces the amount of archeology required to figure out “what is curry.mp3?” in a directory of 10,000 files. I love the content, but adding this one tiny technical detail will make everything a little easier in dealing with them. Keep up the good work!

    Howdy, There’s no doubt that your website could possibly be having web browser compatibility problems. When I look at your site in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in Internet Explorer, it’s got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Apart from that, wonderful website!
