Recent Changes Camp Montreal: The purpose of the conference itself is rather vague, but it’s sure to be a large gathering of designers and bloggers alike… in Montreal… from an IRC channel that never has people in it. -
Xkcd lecture: The other week, it was made public the the writer of xkcd, the most popular webcomic at MIT, would be holding a lecture. Slashdot describes the incident; here are some photos. -
Skype 2.6: When word got around that there was a Skype update for Mac, I was hoping this was going to be the big 3.0. Unfortunately, only minor adjustments have been made in this 2.x update, including an echo fix. We’ll have to wait for Skypecasts. -
Kongregate: An interesting gaming community; it’s kind of like a small-scale Newgrounds, but with chat rooms. And challenges. And with no blamming necessary. And no porn. - Wordpress 2.2: Good news; Wordpress now has widgets built in, atom support, and finally, as WYSIWYG hook for a future version of Safari.

WikiMania 2007: Boy, has this been publicized. The biggest, wikiest, most manic wiki conference ever is being held completely out of everyone’s way in scenic Taipei. Registrations are now starting for the three-day early-August event, which is receiving enormous sponsoring. - Atari commercial: Atari is rarely in the limelight anymore, but we tend to forget how profound it was how they spearheaded gaming as we know it… with commercials we laugh at.
