This blog post by Dave Winer is a gem. Often when people say something like that it's a thinly veiled euphemism for "Dave is a caustic asshole", but not here. As soon as I read this I knew it would be one of my favorite blog posts ever, by anyone.

Why? It just perfectly sums up my favorite parts of Dave's personality. It's funny, creative, and highlights Dave's incredible courage and competence to fuck with things that need to be fucked with. It's well written, personal, and historical. It made me smile and it made me think.
