Byte of the Apple 

Business Week has a new blog about Apple. It has three authors. I like BW's Blogspotting blog that has two writers. Heather and Steve both seem to really get the blogging culture and style. It's neat to see that in an establishment publication. I listened to a podcast interview with Heather last week. She's a true internet person.

Is it a trend to have tag teams? I think if I blogged for a living, I'd like a partner just to ease the pressure of having to always be on. I always wondered how daily cartoonists stand it. I suppose, like columnists, they have untimely stuff in the can. There still has to be pressure. It could be fun if blog partners interacted more with each other, somehow. I think we get stuck in forms and don't see possible variations. And when you think about what a short time blogs have even been around, it's nonsense to be saddled with much convention already.

Alp Uçkan's new service still in beta lets you query 15 blog search engines with one form and outputs the results in an OPML file containing RSS feeds for each search enging. Sort of a cross between Dogpile and a blogroll?

Does anybody know what time it is? 

Does anybody really care? About time. No, I noticed my blog's timestamp is showing Eastern time now. Use to be set to my computer's clock (I'm in Central). I don't know if it happened at the end of daylight-saving time or if it's something newer. Kosso was saying something about time on the OPML blogs but I didn't try to understand what he was talking about. Isn't that always the way, though? You don't care to listen until the topic starts affecting you.
