Being betrayed by your developers

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

I met Charles Warner when he was out shopping a solution provider for his ‘DailyComedy’ project.  He had hired Roger Black to do the design, they knew exactly what they wanted and now all that was left was the process of finding the right company to build it for them.
So I bid on the gig [...]

Good times were had by all

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

I turned 50 yesterday and had a private birthday party.
This is the one birthday which has caused me to take stock and recollect.  Great things ahead, been having allot of fun - and I’m lucky to have such great friends and family.
Here’s a few memories and a message…..

 Jimmi johnson - my old partner and good [...]

Blogging away the Midnight Oil

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

No not the Australian Band - but its late and I’m blogging - and I needed catchy title, so there you have it.
Judith Meskill is alive and well and finally blogged something (after a 6 month hiatus.)  Its not like she isn’t working, runing Weblogs, Inc. for AOL.  She’s blogged that today was their highest [...]

SubCulture Dining

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

You’ve heard rumors of it before.
Well now here are some links and a video.
No - you’re not invited.  If you have to ask, you can’t come.
This is authentic Haute Cuisine in a home, completely illegal, completely cool and fresh.  10-12 people at a time, all underground.
Meals are booked via the web, and the location is [...]

If this is the second Monday of the month

Monday, January 8th, 2007

So that means its time to blog - some more.
My friends Kelli and David Fox have been getting screwed from iVillage the folks they sold Astrology.com to - many years back.  So they’ve been trying to be nice and work things out - but after being jacked around for years now - the lawsuit is [...]

Turns out Brad passed me the bottle - so here are my 5 things you don’t know about me

Monday, January 8th, 2007

I usually don’t do these things, but afterall Brad Horowitz is the most powerful guy at Yahoo and a KIngmaker - so whenever Bradley snaps, I jump.
So one thing you DO know about me is that I’m sucking up to Bradley to maybe get him to call me back - or reply to my email.  [...]

Monday Funday Spun in time day

Sunday, January 7th, 2007

IPTV on XBox in 2007 - also via engadget - (saw that coming a mile away) and also Connected and Synced.  The influence of Ray is being felt.  Others chime on on the new strategy “Microsoft’s Xbox Whiz Drives Strategic Shift” And don’t forget about Home Servers.
Wait a  minute - hold the presses - incredible breakthrough [...]

Visual posts for a New Year

Sunday, January 7th, 2007

You should have such problems as Larry Ellison. He can’t sell his $25M house (lowered to $16M)
  
and he’s also been unable to find anywhere to dock his super-sized (world’s 2nd largest) yacht.  Poor Larry. 

At least he’s enjoying his wealth. He showered it on his son (which I would have done) - and he seems to [...]

2nd week of the new year is when things get rolling

Sunday, January 7th, 2007

Turns out Matt Mullenweg’s birthday is one day before my birthday (and the same day as my daughter Lucy’s birthday.)  And Danny Ayer’s birthday is one day after mine.  So I’m gonna be partying this week.  My brother and sister are coming in, lots of people will be at my party - and I get [...]

Linky dink rink day - Jan. 6th

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

Thanks to someone named ShawnSwamer for cleaning up my wikipedia page.  Lots of folks suggested I just keep a separate page - up to date - so that the Wikipeddians can refer to it.  Seems like a logical thing to do. The truth is - I was just getting lazy and having this wikipedia page [...]
