… and runs a deli called Canter’s Deli on Fairfax in West Hollywood.
But it’s not ME!
We just have the same name.  The LA Weekly has a great article on this guy.  He’s written a book.

March 11th blogging - 2008

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Everyone does it - it’s the oldest profession - but high and mighty former DAs, now Governors - need to take the fall - or else they’re completely ineffective as politicians.  One things for sure - I bet Valleywag’s new Sex Tradest is smiling.  At the end of the day - its the power of [...]

SixApart finally gets some balls

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

If any of you have ever met Benn or aMena Trott you’ll know them to be very nice people.  And I bet none of you ever met Barak Berkowitz the former CEO of 6A.
Despite their leadership, cutting edge tech and contributions to the open web (which I tried like hell to get them to brag [...]

“That’s for Joe”

The final episode of ‘the Wire’ was killer - tying together all the loose ends and making it clear that life goes on in Baltimore.

Killer party in [...]

The first one - is a DataSharingWorkshop - held April 18-19 - right between the Web 2.0 Expo and the RSA event.  That event will be held over two [...]

New still life banner

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Unfortunately Wordpress doesn’t archive it’s banners along with the posts that it was associated with - so this still life will go the same place as all the rest - into some folder on my hard drive.
But for those of you who care - and who actually go to my blog, instead of read it [...]

The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

As Passover approaches and my religious son and I again differ on our rituals, practices and personification of our Jewishness, I was lucky enough to catch a film called ‘The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg’.
Its a wonderful, highly recommended experience, which takes us through how Hankeous Pankeous (as he was referred to) took on [...]

My voice giving out - captured on phone video Robert Scoble shot - at dinner last night.  We all thank Dave Winer for RSS.  Now my voice is totally gone. I’ve gone to whisper mode.
Congrats to Robert on the launch of his new show and channel.
Eric Shonfeld thinks Ray Ozzie pre-announced a product called mesh.  [...]
