Great Joi Day

It was a lovely day in Boston. Fun to meet up with Joi Ito as he made his way from Geneva to Barcelona to Menorca to Boston and off to points unknown tomorrow. Never enough time to talk or see things or tell stories or anything. I did give him a new rock though, and right in the nick of time, as I understood he LOST his other rock.

We had a nice lunch at Legal Seafoods, then he and I were off to other business to attend to, met back up at The Charles Hotel in Harvard Square with Tom Stewart, the editor of Harvard Business Review. After this it was across Harvard Yard to the law school and The Berkman Center. We ran into John Palfrey outside, who helped us dodge bullets as we arrived way too late for the meeting. Dave Winer wasn't too upset with our tardiness, thank goodness. Others were there to welcome Joi, including Jim Moore, Andrew McLaughlin, Chris Lydon, Andrew Grumet, Tracy Adams, Wendy Koslow, Andrew McLaughlin, Michael Feldman and Diane Cabell. (I'll fix this tomorrow.) Fun discussing BloggerCon -- especially the Day 2/Sunday schedule -- since that day is free and open to all comers.

Joi, as usual, blew my mind with technology -- moblogging as we spoke. There has to be a new type of blogging that you do BEFORE the fact. It's gotten way beyond realtime now.
