"Last night a friend was telling me that I was arrogant, in a nice way -- which I took as a compliment. I really think I'm audacious. I learned early in life that the hard part of doing something big is deciding to do it. From there it's often a lot easier than people think it is."
--Berkeley resident Dave Winer, writing about whether Berkeley is the blogging capital of the world and who else might want to chip in a few thousand dollars with him to launch a blogging newsroom in his town.

Update: Oakland Local reports 182+ active blogs in Oakland, think Dave would chip in to support a blogging newsroom down the road in Oaktown? Kinda doubt it.
