Never did get a chance to meet Jon Miller

Joey has got me all hungry - now.  Chicken Fried Steak - I’m telling yah…..

Not sure if anyone of you caught his, but I got to ask Jon Miller a question at Web 2.0.  It went something like this:
“Now that you’re open, what are you gonna do with all those Web 1.0 properties you own like XDrive, MapQuest, Moviefone, all that content, downloading services, etc.  Why don’t you mash [...]

I’ve had a few people (mainly Irish) suggest that we do our own plenary session at SXSW.
Perhaps we’ll call it “old timers speak out” or “Ageism in the era of snotty nosed Web 2.0 entreprenuers”.
Well I love SXSW so much that I almost don’t mind not speaking there.  Gives me more time to schmooze, show [...]

Speaking of AOL - the long awaited arrival of the next version of AIM (code named Triton) has finally shipped.
This is a big new release with LOTS of competative features that keeps them ‘in the game’.

Needless to say - I agree and disagree with this guy who wrote - Latest Useless Trend: Adding Social Networking To Everything, Including Cab Rides.  He’s right in that lots of silly VC backed plays are all trying to ride on MySpace’s coattails.  He’s wrong in that distributed, smaller networks are the future.  And as [...]

I first went to SXSW back in the early 90’s - back when CD ROMs were “interactive”.
Since then the bloggers have taken over and find plenty of topics to talk about like “what is blogging?” and “what does it take to be a good blogger?”
I’m sure there will be pleny of great panels at SXSW [...]

Yo Salim, Jon, Cam and Dave - after all these years - Confabb is the best you can do?
Come on dudes - you can do better than that!
Here’s some free ideas - just to reach up onto my shelf of past journals and recall some of the ideas I’ve had over the years. 
1.  Questions for [...]
