Re: Book details secret staircases of Berkeley and Oakland

@Sally , couldn't the "path neighbors" have done a little more investigating before they purchased homes next to 100+ year old public paths? Correct me if I'm wrong, but most homes in the Berkeley hills are NOT immediately adjacent to these paths. When I rent or purchase a property I make sure I learn a lot about the neighborhood by exploring on my own (oh look, there is a public path next to this house I may purchase, I wonder if that's going to be an issue for me...), talking to real estate agents (those paths there, are they public?) and even talking to neighbors. This boils down to little more than a lack of personal responsibility on the part of "path neighbors". The paths were there long before MOST of the path neighbors moved in, and I imagine the issues you're describing aren't all that new.

Another reason I decided to do this blog is the recent advent of modern, threaded commenting systems to facilitate useful and interesting discussions. You can login to DISQUS using OpenID, twitter, or facebook. As soon as DISQUS implements Google Friend Connect I'll add that along with Yahoo! sign-in.

Re: minimalizer - do you dopplr?

I thought the colors were off in the dopplr color banner image, but it turns out every dopplr user gets their own unique color ramp. Mine looks particularly dull, doesn't it?

I just added disqus integration to the microblog. Disqus is a distributed commenting system that works across a variety of blogs.

Robert,

I am a new-ish reader and have heard mixed things about you and your opinions in the past. I just want to say that your recent comments on the google reader debacle and this new 'scoblegate' have given me full confidence in your ability to be rational and reasonable in the face of mass hysteria and privacy fear-mongering in the blogosphere. You've officially locked me in as a reader! I'm sure you're so excited :)
