Journalism
Bill Burkett just mailed me -- he found the silly con report I wrote that mentioned his talk (among many other things) from the XML 2000 Conference, over a year ago. He just wanted to express amusement, and say hi.
How wonderfully random... I actually know very little about this fellow or what he does, but still.
That reminds me: I got a call last week from a reporter who was interested in ComicsML. We gabbed for more than an hour about that and other cool XML applications, and I found myself plugging the book to the media for the first time. And caring how my name was spelled. (And Erik's.)
Good timing: ORA is publishing a book about SVG just as we're sending The Book off to production, and SVG is something that factors in greatly with two big projects I can't wait to dive into full-time for a while: ComicsML, and MIGS (the game system). Tasty stuff!

The reporter was a staff writer for the Chronicle of Higher Education, but said he also freelances for NYT, and didn't know what sort of story he'd write, or for whom, since I have him far more and different information than he expected. Heh.
