[microsoft] Swag
At the Search Champs private conference I'm at, Microsoft has been giving out excellent swag: A copy of Money, Office and Flight Simulator, a logo-ed windbreaker, sun visor and golf shirt, and a thumb storage device....all packed in a logoed-backpack. I'm too mature and self-knowing for swag to affect me, but I'm beginning to think that Microsoft has been badly misunderstood and under-appreciated. Plus, today we get to go to the Microsoft Store where we can spend up to $120 on heavily discounted Microsoft products. Unfortunately, I'm leaving before the trip to the store, so I assume I'm allowed to download $120's worth of copyright-challenged Microsoft products via BitTorrent at Suprnova.org or the P2P network of my choice. That's right, isn't it?

[What they said] Swag
I've been lucky enough to watch David Weinberger do what he does for a living -- speak to a large group of people -- and he's very funny. Here's a great example of his wit:
