Flying to Wellington this afternoon. Mainly a trip for pleasure. We’re going to The Police concert, catching up with freinds and family and possibly interspersing that with a little bit of Wellington based working.
I’ll be in and out of touch up there but will check my feedreader as often as possible to avoid the usual post-tripaway reader jam.
Meanwhile check out this article about Facebook and in particular some of its backers. The conspiracy theorists will love this one.

I can understand the points the article is making about social networking. I haven’t joined one yet, perhaps in the future for marketing reasons, apart from that, it is more fun for me to just meet up with friends whom I haven’t seen for a while (some for years). If I connect with them via a social networking site, then it would be boring when you meet them in person, since they have seen your photos, know what you have been doing in your everyday life, blah, blah, blah, … What else to discuss, when you meet up since everything is known in advance before meeting up with friends.
My concert “review” – for what it’s worth.
