Jeremy Zawodny has written a great post about the switch from a device-centered world to a data-centered world: Where will you store your data? It’s something that theorists have talked about for ages, but as Jeremy notes, it’s really happening now. For my part, I have a memory stick, my iPod, and my Treo on me almost all the time, any of which can store lots of my stuff. Currently I don’t use the Treo or the iPod for file storage, but I’ve been reconsidering that. I also have a work laptop and my home computer holding tons of stuff, not to mention my hosting service and ISP. Managing that stuff is increasingly problematic. Which version of a particular file is authoritative? Sometimes I think that soon we’ll all be running all of our data through some sort of CVS that will synch everything up no matter where it is.

When you search Google for “montreal”, one of the first ten results is for the Washington Nationals baseball team. The former Expos, that is.
Check this out:
Technorati Tags. Technorati now allows you to search for tags, and responds with appropriately tagged items from Flickr, del.icio.us and with Technorati itself. Amazing stuff.
Missed last month:
Shut Up Already. A PDF you can download, print, and then give to all those loud-cellphone-talkers who try and take up as much space as possible with their inane conversations. From Aaron Draplin and Jim and Heidi Coudal.
The rumours were pretty close:
the Apple Mac mini has been unveiled. You can have one before the end of this month.
