Steven Hodson / WinExtra:
Thank you Dave Winer  —  Getting old is inevitable but to be shuffled to the end of the technology trash heap because of that pisses me off.  Normally I don't think too much of my age and how that impacts people's perception of my abilities in our computer world.
Steve / The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs:

Web3S: A RESTful Protocol for Accessing Windows Live Services  —  I had hoped to avoid talking about RESTful Web services for a couple of weeks but Yaron Goland's latest blog post APP and Dare, the sitting duck deserves a mention.  In his post, Yaron talks concretely about some of the thinking …

Stuff Yaron Finds Interesting:
