I don't feel so bad now...I see that Chris Cepi has not blogged since DIDW either. His last post highlights such as:

Best Semantic Transformation: Kim Cameron swapping "reify" for "thingify"

Most Predictable Vendor Behavior: Awkwardly inserting the recent Identity Theft instances into product and company pitches - for products and companies that do not provide technology that would have prevented any of the examples cited.

I missed Chris' presentation cause I just was over tired and couldn't find a plug at the back of the room. I promise I will make it to the next one.

I noticed visiting his blog that Thomas Barnett is in his blog roll - rad thinking our the state of our world related to connected and disconnectedness.
