I’m sitting outside at the Grove - it’s a beautiful night and I thought I’d catch up.
Interesting analysis of the state of platforms by Alex Iskold

Oct. 17th blogging ‘08

First off - congrats to Dare Obasanjo and family on their newborn birth. Secondly I agree with Dare - that Yahoo’s implementation of an ‘opt-in’ checkbox to enables folks to control whether their data via their friends can be accessed - is another major building block for our social industry.  Congrats Yahoo-sters on that one!  [...]

October 7th, ‘08 blogging

I like allot of things about dabbleboard. What they need is Text and filled objects and they’re ready to roll!  I’ve been looking for a great drawing on-line program - forever!

Somebody please tell Richard MacManus that as long as you think of it as the ’semantic web’ - it [...]

Emerce Eday ‘08 - Rotterdam

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Here is a recording of the speech I gave in Rotterdam at EMERCE eDay ‘08. The recording is a bit disconcerting as the cameraman never turns towards the sldies - which is what I’m talking about and bouncing off of.
So here is the .ppt I used.

The night before they had a dinner at the Rotterdam [...]
