How Things Change

Cameron and Dave go way back, none of it pretty. - Mark Pilgrim

These awards are a rather lame attempt by Dave Winer to shine some press on his company and their software. I want no part of this or any awards process that cheapens the whole idea of high-quality personal Web sites and online journals. I am confident that people will see past this blatant attempt at self-aggrandizing and ignore these awards for what they are. Perhaps if Dave Winer really cared about the things that he says he cares about, he would have allowed other sites to be nominated, not just the ones he liked. Perhaps Dave should have allowed for write-in nominees so that all of us who are disgusted by this gross display can write in the Winerlog weblog, which accurately and ironically exposes Dave for the person he truly is. - Cameron Barrett

Looking around tomorrow’s room, in my head, I see Cameron Barrett, chief blogger for the Clark campaign. I also see a guy who went to Siberia last year, and started his weblog in 1997… Now Cam gets to lead again. Talking with him on the phone, he sounds excited, clear, knows what he’s doing. - Dave Winer

You find the oddest things sometimes when you least expect them. I followed a link from Full-screen calendar view in Movable Type and happened across the entry by Mark above. I thought, didn’t Dave write something about Cam this morning? Isn’t it ironic how the relative positions of Dave, Cam and Mark seem to have changed in the last two years.
