I'm in Texas for a conference, where it's gray and rainy and we're expected to go from 72 this morning to 42 by this evening. Fortunately I'm inside all day. Anyway, conference time means more sporadic, shorter posts. Which isn't always a bad thing.

In no particular order and on completely unrelated tangents. . .

• Via Guy, a nice Beginner's Guide to Digg is online.

• If you check out our ChipIn widget to the left, you'll see that Beth reached her goal and was able to raise $750 for Leng Soparath's education. Fabulous news!

• I haven't had a chance to fully read and digest this, but Chris Anderson's post "In Praise of Radical Transparency" seems interesting. I think it has a lot to say about the intersection between organizational culture and technology right now and how each informs the other.

Now I'm off to guzzle gallons of coffee and prepare for my presentations tomorrow.
