So yeah, as you probably didn't hear because, unlike all these bloggers, you have a life — Microsoft blogger and apologist Robert Scoble just quit Microsoft to work for John Furrier's Podtech podcast network.

In case you have a life on the weekends, you ought to know that famed Microsoft blogger Robert Scoble is now just blogger Robert Scoble. Shocking, yes! Tom Foremski broke the news on Saturday (when you were at a barbecue or party or something — loser) and soon Scoble was up on his blog yelling that the rumors are false.

RSS/OPML developer Dave Winer always had a stream-of-consciousness style of blogging. But yesterday's posts make Ulysses seem like a scientific journal:

Only three militant breastfeeding mothers showed up to forcibly nurse their babies in front of the San Fran headquarters of Six Apart, according to a member of the blogging company. The mammary mommies are mad at 6A property LiveJournal for blocking their user icons — 100x100 images of babies breastfeeding, with aereolas showing.

Who is TheoDP, and why won't he blog? Even blogdaddy Dave Winer has no idea about this little gossip, last seen baiting (and catching publisher Tim O'Reilly over an old patent issue. Now Winer runs a blurb that Theo sent to him, me, and god knows who else:

So Google counts over 23 billion pages on the Internet — who cares? Nothing's really online until it's been "Dugg," "Farked," and "Boing Boinged." And when your new quirky blog post ("Meta-Katamari George Bush MacBook Pro Naked") gets passed around the memepool, it'll be surrounded by John Battelle's ads.

Dropped in on Dave Winer and Niall Kennedy's Blogger Dinner last night. A couple dozen bloggers attended the comfortable little affair at Henry's Hunan. I chatted with one — friend and blogger Nicole Lee — in a day-after dinner autopsy. Apologies to anyone we forgot to smugly name-drop.

Jason Calacanis fancies himself a pot-stirrer. And the rising AOL exec really does twist more panties than a Chinese laundry. But he's a very busy man, so as an act of service journalism, here's a list of whom he's pissed off — this week.

Jason Kottke recently gave an interview to blogger Leah Peterson. The blogging designer, who's actually a really nice guy, couldn't help but let all the recent media attention go to his head. Oh well, what blogger isn't a Walter Mitty of traffic numbers?

"Didi!" "Gogo!" "Come to my arms!" "Your arms?" "My breast!" "Off we go!"

As Michael Arrington frets about disclosure, Valleywag catches a whiff of one of the TechCrunch mogul's unannounced investments. Nothing major — he was in talks with a tasty piece of flipmeat. Those talks broke down when Arrington wanted too much control of the dot-com.

Quick recap:

Don't ask Web 2.0 (TM) evangelist Chris Messina about his business plan.

Web 2.0 (TM) marketer Tara Hunt is less than pleased with how "the media" (read: the SF Chronicle's embedded reporter Dan Fost) covered her event this weekend:
