I got quoted in an article on Newhouse News…..

Monday, April 9th, 2007

Somebody scanned for “I turned 50″ and came up with me.
Then she interviewed me.
I’m so quoateable - journalists love me:
“I’m too young to be a hippy and too old to be a yuppie. It’s this very unique slot of being raised in the ’70s,” said Marc Canter, 50, a software pioneer who lives in Walnut […]

The rise of the DLA

Monday, April 9th, 2007

My buddy Hooman Radfar - of Clearspring - has written a two parter on ‘Death of the Portal’ and ‘Birth of the Social Aggregator’. In these posts he rightly groks what’s up.
By coincidence I wrote the final section of our white paper today - on this very subject. Here it is - which […]

Back from Disneyland

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

I’m about to head out for 3 weeks on the road, so I wanted to give my family a nice vacation before that.  So we went to Disneyland!  We saw Denise Howell and her son there and we took Maura Sparks and her two sons.
We pushed V 1.2 live right before we left, but it […]

Vote for the King’s Dancers

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

This is important. Our client - the Sacramento Kings has asked me to help them get their dancers elected to the #1 slot for NBA dancers.
If we can help them win, then that’ll help us spread our revolution - which will help everyone.
So please vote for the Kings dancers!
And my apologies to Mr. Leonsis […]

Disney is back. For sure.
You immediately get this when the ancient Mickey Mouse short (clearly refactored and cleaned up) starts up - serving as an intro to this comeback exravaganza ‘Meet the Robinsons‘.
John Lasseter’s fingerprints can be seen and heard all over this masterpiece and the rest of Pixar and Jobs I’m sure can […]

Challah for Passover

Sunday, April 1st, 2007

I kid you not, this is not an April Fool’s joke. It’s a sign I saw at an Acme Bakery on Friday and I wish I had taken a photograph of it.
I had to tell them how utterly foolish they were and asked them one of the four questions: “why is this night different […]

April Fool’s day links

Sunday, April 1st, 2007

I’d like to say that all these links are a joke, but they’re not. They’re real. But it IS April 1st.
Someone said to me yesterday “Twitter will be sold for $200M” - congrats to Ev in advance.
Uncle Dave invented blogging on his day - 10 years ago.  Even before that he was doing something […]

Happy Birthday Scripting News

Sunday, April 1st, 2007

(sung to the melody of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band)
It was 10 years ago today, and Uncle Dave taught us all to play, all our blogs have been going into style, and to some its generated a smile
But to some of you all out there - you’d swear that blogging is on a tear…..
And […]
