On his way back from MS search champs - Richard MacManus stopped off to get some work done.
Richard does our documentation, helps me with reports and is now starting to become an essential tool in our ‘product development pipeline’.
So we decided to throw a little dinner for friends at Max’s Opera House by the airport [...]

I just merged my Flickr account with my Yahoo account.   Though it didn’t merge the photos I’ve had in Yahoo Photos (for over five years now) it did do the correct ‘digital identity’ federation dance and inform me that I have to log-in via Yahoo from now on.
The system also informed me of the ramifications [...]

I’m pleased to announce that the sessions for the part of SXSW which I’m particiating - have now been posted.
With so many conferences and shows going on -it’s hard to remember that the original alternative culture and music shows is SXSW.  Between the salt lick BBQ, numerous live shows, celebs, bloggers, bloggers faling in love, [...]

My friend Anina is starting to take a cue from me and is doing anything she can to stand out and be noticed.
It’s working.
So this time it’s jumping into the pool at some party - in Munich at Henry Burda’s request.  For charity none the less. $3,000 worth.
Then Loic interviewed Yossi Vardi on WHY she [...]

It comes as no surprise that Dan Gillmor has posted an eloquent and articulate apology for what happened with his ‘Bayosphere project.  I really like Dan and I’m sorry to see him go through this.
I orignally assumed Bayosphere WAS a non-profit effort and waited - with baited breath - for the commercial sponsors, distribution deals [...]

Nova Spivack and Chris Law have a bit of TechCrunch envy - so they want to start having ’salons’ up in the city - instead of schleping to Atherton.
Well I say “right on!”
So he’s having one of these soirees at:   Feb. 2 at adaptivePath’s offices.
The event is co-sponsored by adaptivePath - clearly one of the [...]

I’m gonna start using this blog for hunting down key info, people, sources and opportunities.
So here’s an appeal.
I’ve been out of the video scene for a while now.  I used to know every single show, seminar, conference trade show - what have you - around the world.  I was there when the first of these [...]

Meanwhile what happens when you get bought by Google?
 

 
Things are starting to hop over at Dodgeball.  I can’t wait to find my old friend - Skyy Vodka - or was that Absolut Vodka - his brother?
 

 
I can’t imagine these people ever having pulled this off themselves (despite being star graduates of the Clay Shirky school [...]

We all know of the pathetic story called Friendster, their valuation and selling themselves woes and how even the clueless bigCo media companies have figured out how worthless they are.
Well they’re trying like hell to look like everyone else now.   They have TypePad blogs and apparently some sort of deal with Grouper.  How do I [...]

Adobe is announcing 10 new ‘partners’ in their OpenHD standards effort.
Taking a look back in the archives - my buddy JahShaka commented on this - as far back as April 2005. 
“How Open is OpenHD?”
Hmmmm - lets see, the founding companies are: Adobe, Microsoft, Dell, HP and Intel.
Hmmmmmmmm
Clearly HD standards need to be addresssed for compatibility for editing, [...]
