Part of the problem with using this blog to write my book is that many readers -- and even I -- expect me to react to big news in blogspeed. Alas, writing a book demands thinking in bookspeed. Otherwise I would just paste all these blog posts together and create a big PDF for everyone to download.
Instead I am trying to get to the big themes that events like the Microsoft bid for Yahoo reveals. As of today, I don't have anything more interesting to write than you have already read in newspapers and other blogs.
I am reading voraciously on the subject. If you can tip me off to things I should not miss, I would be in your debt.
I might be able to generate relevant thoughts in a few days.
In the mean time, Boing Boingis the best place to keep up with these developments.

3. Sometimes there is just no there, there.
There is a zen to the above. For more elaboration I would recommend the following to read on your toilet:
