Hard Rock Cafe dinner tonight

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

Going to Las Vegas - to Mix07?
We are - I’m taking the family. They’re looking forward to swimming in all the giant pools.
Dave Winer is organizing a dinner tonight - I say we do it at the Hard Rock Cafe - 8:30.
I hope I can find some ‘all ages shows’ for Mimi.
And I’m also looking [...]

Back in Cali, recuperating

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Many thanks to all the folks who sent me their best wishes.  I really wanted to get back yesterday - so I could go see my twin sons in “The Wiz” in their high school production.  Jacob starred as ‘the Lion’ and Aron was one of the ‘Yellow Brick Road’s.
It was great.  Mimi and Lucy [...]

Laid up in the hospital in London

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Just one word = kidney stones
And another word = stent
Unfortunately this means I’ll miss the econSM conference starting today in LaLa.  But Maura Sparks will be there!
Hopefully I’ll get this all out of the way so I can make it to Mix07.

‘ello London

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

I’m back in one of my favorite towns - and no I’m not gonna troll through the 5,000 unread blog posts I’ve got waiting for me in my aggregator.  Just yet.
We’re closing on a new client once a week right now - and they deserve my attention.
Press release, full disclosure and solid code base all [...]

Leaving Cannes

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

My dear old friend Ferhan Cook has a new blog - MobiAd News - which focuses on Mobile ads. Which is coolio, cause the other night in Amsterdam I met some mobile ad nerds - so I’m hooking them up together.
Then as I’m walking back from my session Eyal Hertzog of Metacafe says to [...]

Greetings from Cannes and Milia

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

So I’m at a dinner given by Bablegum (Silvio Scaglia’s new company) in Cannes and I’m listening to Spike Lee talk about his work. One of the things about being in France is that we were served these tiny little canapes and appetizers - and that was dinner.
This harkened back to my experiences at [...]

Links from Amsterdam

Monday, April 16th, 2007

How come it’s only when I’m on the road - hat I can find time to blog? Probably cause I’m away from my family and have that extra few hours that it takes to go through my 250 subscriptions.
Thanks to Rafat and Staci for giving us this chance to show off how we can [...]

The Greatest Rock & Roll band in the world

Friday, April 13th, 2007

It’s Friday night in Wash, D.C. I’ve taken off from blogging as all this Kathy Sierra, porno banning, Imus scandaling, war raging, bloggers blogging, beheamouths purchasing, leveraged money guys spewing, rich people a partying just bores me - to be honest.
But when a friend pointed me to the post on Rolling Stone magazine launching [...]

Old Geezer hippies unite and get social

Friday, April 13th, 2007

Michael Arrington may think people of my generation are too old for social networking, but I bet the Rolling Stones network - just announced - will be coolio.
We can all recant our favorite live shows, mine was the Stones in ‘72 or Grant Park, Chicago at the Sly Stone concert - when it erupted in [...]

Pierre Wolff raps out why the DLA model is ideal for evolving open standards

Monday, April 9th, 2007

My buddy - Pierre Wolff left this comment about DLAs -  and the tradeoffs between hard wiring to specific services and supporting and developing open standards.  Evolving open standards is a tricky game - especially when it comes to handling this kind of data movement, verbs, actions and authentication.
Marc, you might have pointed out that [...]
