Rest up, editors, and come back recharged. Podcasting needs you.

Sync. Sync sync sync. I don't use GReader as an RSS client, but it's the sync engine for NNW, which I use every day. So robust, reliable sync is my top priority in any new client.

Thanks. Between this and yr post I think I have everything I need.

Cool. Here we go:

Just confirming: Although Open Wire has been up for about two months, you all just started to have your internal communications via this thread within the last day or so, is that right? Can you tell me anything about the genesis of the idea? In what ways, if any, has the experience of "radical transparency" differed from what you expected? Is the experiment open-ended? What would it take to get you to pull the plug? And how do you account for what looks like a total lack in the thread of nerd rage, ad hominem attacks and the other stuff that frequently populates open comment threads? (This sort of ties back to my earlier question about moderation.)

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. Looking to work up a blog post for Forbes.com on your new "radical transparency" -- can we have a brief conversation via email (you can reach me through billbarol.com)? Or hey, if you want to be really radical, I suppose we can have it right here.

This is an interesting experiment. I'm looking at the favorable signal-to-noise ratio and wondering about one procedural thing (Gabriel...?) -- are these comments either pre- or post-moderated?

Thanks for the post, and for realizing that my attempt to get the sixty-two large out of Twitter was A JOKE. An obvious one, I thought, but oh my goodness was I wrong about that. Anyway, tweets are restored and all's right with the world. I would like it noted for the record, however, that I was dead serious when I demanded $5 million from Apple because eWorld made me feel lonely.

" ...all of their cheese steaks are served with mayo"? Um... No.

Hey Tom -- Thanks! Not sure what's going to happen with Forbes yet.... It all seems to be a work in progress.

Hey Lisa -- Thanks for your comment. What's the URL for your photoblog? I'd love to take a look.

Welcome to the many new visitors who are here via BoingBoing. If you were here earlier this morning and think there was a different image posted for today -- what different image? Why, you must be going crazy or something! All right, calm down, you're not going crazy. Let me explain.

This site operates under strict guidelines set down by the Pix365 Board of Directors, and under Byline 26.2/b, "Any image may be replaced by any other image, at the sole discretion of the site operator [Hiya! -bb], as long as such image was, like the image it replaces, photographed on the day of posting." There are many bylaws governing this site, and to tell you the truth the majority of them have to do with who gets the donuts for board meetings, but this is the one that's relevant here.

In any event, thanks for visiting Pix365. Come back often, because there's a new image every day! Sometimes several!

Well, I got the error page again. Then signed up to follow my wife and was able to access the page. So you may still have the issue.

Getting an error page w/Safari 4.0.5... (it's the "Fiddlesticks" page).

There are times when the iPhone's lousy lens, with its inability to register gradations of darkness, is your friend.

Yeah. It's totally that first thing you said. That's what I was going for right there.

Last-minute swap for todays's previous image, "Pez Gandhi Never Sleeps." Taken from the same "Bob's Market" sign that previously gave you "T" (April 5th). Eventually I hope to cannibalize the whole sign.

What you'd do, kids, is you'd whap this big chromey thing with your left hand and use it to draaaaag the carriage all the way back to the right, and then you'd type a while and do it again, and again, and again... Hmm. Maybe now is better.
