” I want a BDG, not a spec. I just want to know what goes on the wire. I don’t have time to go to college”

Now, is it just me, or does Dave have nothing but time. Seems to me the only thing he’s actually created in at least a year is a NYTimes outline that would take any developer 5 minutes and an updates OPML spec which since he created it entirely by himself shouldn’t have taken more than an hour either

One more bonus quote though…

“I think tinyurl.com may be starting to suck “

Is there anything he won’t turn against after a couple months?

OTOH, I’ve never grokked what he means by that.

I move that the TechMeme exclusion tag should be part of the Atom namespace, that would mix it up a bit.
