I'm Back

Am not sure how much I'll end up posting, but I went through the extremely hard work of porting my blog over to Blogger and setting it back up, so I'm back. I guess I should also say that I am still at Google working the legal side of the many great products that our engineers and other talented folk come up with. My team is hiring if you are interested.

Pillgrim v. Burton on DMCA

An interesting conversation going on between Mark Pilgrim and Kevin Burton and many others. As LaughingMeme describes it:

Mark just
viciously attacked Kevin. Its the sort of think you
expect from certain bloggers, but coming from Mark Pilgrim rocks you back on
your heels. ... Is there some rule, or natural force that hits a blogger after a while? Does everybody become as wizened and angry as Winer or Jorn? Celebrity without the protective barriers society normally erects around celebrities?

I am not sure I took Mark's post as personally as Kellan. Discourse is good. Sometimes you get called an idiot. I certainly have been.
