Dave Winer’s farewell feed, his last Thursday dinner meeting as
\norganizer of the Berkman blogging roundtable, was captured on what used
\nto be film<\/a> by Dan Bricklin — not only a fine programmer, but a fine
\n(and fast) photographer.  <\/p>\n

(And I’m so glad I wore the Hawaiian shirt.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Bloggercons<\/a> I and II, the Thursday night<\/a> sessions, and this growing
\ncrimson community<\/a> of weblogs are a fine legacy for Dave to leave behind as he
\nmoves on to new adventures<\/a>… providing not only RSS feeds<\/a>, but plenty of food for thought<\/a> for those of us trying to sort out the relationship of blogs to our lives or, in my case, to professional journalism<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Here’s one more try:<\/p>\n

\nJournalism at its best can give you a snapshot of accurate facts,
\nthoughtful interpretations, with honesty, ethics and clarity. Blogs can do
\nall of that too — but their more personal (even emotional) nature can
\nbe like another filter in front of the camera lens. Before the burglar
\ngot my Leica, I remember having a set of filters — some added color or
\nremoved color — but some just cut through UV and haze.\n<\/div>\n

\nDave, for one, has the brass to take a more personal and emotional
\nrisks with his blogs than many folks carrying the reporter’s notebook.
\nHis writing and the things he links to pass through a filter that is
\npersonal, colorful and opinionated. That risk-taking is rarely my style<\/a>, but I’m glad it’s his, and that he lets us all watch and learn. <\/p>\n

Blogging at its best can do what journalism does… but I’ve learned in the past year that with those
\npersonal filters — and an occassional Thursday night out — it also
\ncan find you new friends. <\/p>\n

There has been a sincere
\n“Thanks, Dave” in the right margin of this blog since the beginning,
\nbut I think it’s worth repeating it here — appropriately using the “edit this page<\/a>” space Dave created for us and swiping the headline for this item from Jessica<\/a>, who I hope gets to help keep the Harvard blog sessions going.<\/p>\n
