Dierdre Malloy has synopsized my speech I gave in London - pretty dam well and there’s a podcast (gosh I hate that term) - AUDIO RECORDING of the speech - as well.
I actually had a pretty good time giving that speech, though I wish my voice had been in better shape - so I could [...]

I ran into this chart - via Fred Wilson’s post on it. Fred is all excited about buying Yahoo low - which I would have done if: a) I believed in the stock market, which I don’t, b) I had an dispoable income (which I don’t - I only invest in my own products) or [...]

Needless to say I’d be ecstatic if the world of Personal Identity Mesh reached beyond the 2% I predicted earlier today.  Kim Cameron seems to think he’ll get alot more - 100,000,000s. Only someone working at Microsoft could make that statement.  Maybe he’s correct.
