Mark Cuban points to one of the best CEO blog posts I’ve ever read. Its from Rahul Sood - of Voodoo - mainly discussing Michael Dell, the Alienware acquisition and why CEO blogging is so important. Must read.
‘Bout time interactive maps are available for the playa. It just seems like Burning Man was yesterday - or was that the day before yesterday. We need something new. Most of the Burners have kids nowadays (or they’re running away from having kids) - how - how - normal.
Yes indeed - success is harder than it looks. But if you’ve been doing it your whole life, it gets into your blood. I myself have this warm fuzzy feeling about me nowadays - not because we’re successful, but because at least we’re SHIPPING something - and there’s only one way to go - but up. Dave’s breakthroughs are like bursts - like disruptive avalanches. The exact thing that people complain about rivers - that its nothing new - is exactly where the innovation is. My answer - “if its something that’s not new, a) why are you commenting about it, b) go do something better yourself and c) so you don’t own a crackberry? or d) whatever - leave him alone.” Cause if you DID own a crackberry your life has changed. Dave is a jewel which has helped shape the world we’re in today.

Smart people chatting. Good read.
How to use microformats. [via Kevin Lawver] I’m just not sure if the way microcontent happens is for folks to hack tags into their pages. Seems pretty archaic and nerdy to me. But god bless them anyway. We love microformats.
Excellent Cyworld article (they’re a client.)
Want to pay to be on stage at the Web 2.0 conference? Here’s your chance. Great group of advisors. Wish I was on that board. I’d at least love to be in on the meetings, as a fly on the wall. Not sure if we qualify - but maybe I’ll take a shot at it.

[…] But that’s an aside. Here’s an example of how something that I didn’t know about percolates through the blogosphere and onto my screen. I subscribe to about 100 RSS feeds of bloggers that I trust. Overtime they continue bringing me an interesting stream of stuff. Marc Canter, for instance, started the company that became Macromedia and later was sold to Adobe. He’s an interesting guy and I’ve known him for years. If he tells me something is a “must read” generally he’s right 99% of the time. So, today he pulled that on me. […]

[…] Thanks Marc for the kind words. There’s lots new in what I’m doing now, except it was new in 1999, when I was doing it for the first time. People said, in 2004, that podcasting was an instant thing that could only happen in Internet time. Uh huh. Except that we started pushing it in January 2001, and didn’t arrive at the right pitch until the summer of 2004. Of course the world had to change too. We were excited about WAP in January 2000, when Andre made it so Manila automatically generated WAP from each site’s home page. Where did that go? Nowhere, because no one was using mobile stuff then, they were just having conferences about how great it would be. You have to stick with ideas if you want to actually deliver. No doubt there are people raising money right now with VCs to do what you see me doing here. They don’t like old Jewish guys who use their hands when they talk. Some of them will get rich, and some of them will meet me at a party one day and thank me for the work I’m doing now. […]

Wow, that was one of the funniest things I’ve read in ages. Thanks!
