Away for the Weekend

April 29, 2006

By the time you read this, I’ll be long gone. It’ll be quiet here for the next few days as the family and I head down to central Virginia for a little R&R at my brother in law’s house. I’ll probably be throwing the football and teaching my son how to swing a [...]

Enterprise 2.0 or what I call “Swimming in KoolAid”

April 27, 2006

QUESTION: First when was there ever an Enterprise 1.0? Then, why are we calling this Enterprise 2.0?
ANSWER: Because we are trying to prevent most “Web 2.0″ products from becoming irrelevant rehashes of stuff people tried selling five years ago by jamming it down the throats of CIO’s and CTO’s.
There is even a “CTO’s Guide to [...]

California Joins Illinois in Calling for Bush Impeachment

April 27, 2006

I still don’t think Bush is going to escape impeachment like I called for in December. My conservative readers scorn impeachment because their boy can do no wrong. I still don’t understand how Republicans support a man who is more liberal than Bill Clinton, but hey, I guess this will piss them off. That’s [...]

Why the Jet Question Answered

April 27, 2006

A few days ago, I asked “Why the jet?” Why did I put the jet in my header. I offered a $10 Amazon gift certificate to anyone who could guess why but no one (except some b5′ers that knew from reading the internal forum) came up with the right answer.
The answer is, of [...]

Video Blogger Makes Me Proud

April 27, 2006

This is sort of sentimental for me but I’ll share it anyway. Several years ago, my good friend Sean Crawford began blogging as a result of me. He watched me over time and decided that he too wanted to blog. I’m usually encouraged by this sort of thing but I don’t push blogging [...]

Chernobyl Coffin Dissolving

April 26, 2006

Today is the 20 year anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster and I’ve spent some of today looking at what, to me, is ancient history. I was 10 at the time of the accident and we were living in the Congo (formerly Zaire). Realtime news was non-existent and we generally got news 6 weeks [...]

On Tony “I Don’t Support the President, but I actually do” Snow

April 26, 2006

I like Tony Snow so the title of this entry is unfairly snarky. I’d like to send out my congratulations to the Administration on picking someone who makes sense. No really. He makes sense. Not for the President. When he talks… it makes sense.
I admit to having somewhat more of a favorable view [...]

Easing those Gas Pains

April 25, 2006

Last year, at the peak of the post-Katrina gas crisis, I paid $3.78 for a gallon of unleaded gas in Rockville, Maryland. That gas station IS one of the more expensive gas stations around the area, but still those prices might be seen again.
A resource I discovered last year during that time was Gas [...]

Now here is a business I want to have – Base Assumption

April 25, 2006

Tom Evslin has written what I think is the real distruptive model in consumer communications.
He calls it Base Assumption and if you are thinking of starting a business and love infrastructure – this is it.
Here is an excerpt:
“Within four years, possibly three, free WiFi will be available on the streets of every American city.� Building [...]
