Some days I feel like I’m juggling a lot of stuff – today is one of them. My partner Greg sent me a very timely email of a video of Chris Bliss juggling. The guy is absolutely remarkable, plus you get a good Beatles song out of it. I need to hire this guy to help me juggle.

If you aren’t happy with our president, you’ll get a good laugh out of this. If you are happy with the president, the current information, and the coverage you get on Fox News, please don’t look at it – it’ll just piss you off.

Valentines Day is one of those holidays that guys consistently screw up. One year it’s great; one year it’s not. Fortunately, Wikipedia has a wonderfully long history of it, which just makes me think the people at Hallmark love this holiday. Several years ago, a guy name Tom Birdsey created a comparable holiday for men. Since I’m a vegetarian, it’s only partly relevant for me. So – this morning – after 9 inches of snow last night, I emerged from the shower, got dressed, and wandered down stairs to clean the snow off my car so I could drive into the office. Amy was out there cleaning it off – when I shouted out the door “thanks – you’re awesome” – she responded with “happy steak and bj day.” Amy – you rock.

If you are in Boulder on February 21st and interested in blogging and RSS, the Boulder Software Club is putting on an event at Cooley Godward’s offices at 380 Interlocken Crescent, Suite 900 in Broomfield. The panelists are Howard Kaushansky (Umbria CEO), Greg Reinacker (NewsGator CTO), and Seth Levine (Mobius Venture Capital). Paul Gross from Cooley Godward is moderating. They’ll be covering the following topics: How can a company use the blogosphere to measure the buzz about itself and its competitors? Why RSS instead of e-mail – isn’t it just the same thing? Isn’t this just for bloggers? How have other companies used the blogosphere effectively? What are typical use-cases of RSS applied to the enterprise, what types of products are available to facilitate these use-cases and how do I get started? RSS sounds like another bubble – lots of companies getting funded that do something with RSS. Is there a business model in RSS and has there been too much investment here? Should my company have a blog? If you are interested, RSVP to sms@dimensional.com or call 303–642–7168.

One of my favorite examples of things newspapers do that baffles me is to print the stock tables every day. While I imagine there are a small number of people that continue to read these over the breakfast table, I can’t imagine the cost/benefit analysis of providing these in every local newspaper is worth it. Recently, there’s been a trend of newspapers deciding to dump the stock tables. Hint – there’s this thing called the Internet – you can get real time quotes for free all day long.

The following question appeared in my inbox the other day. “As you mention in this blog VCs never sign NDAs. Maybe you can also tell me why actually not? If I follow your blog does it mean that in most cases they simply want to check the startup out?” For starters, I’ll restate the assertion. Most VC’s don’t sign non-disclosure agreements. Guy Kawasaki had a good comment on it in his Venture Capitalist Wishlist post.

NPR had a priceless piece on blogging and marriage last night by Julie Zickefoose. “I’m trying to figure out when these slim white machines took over our lives.” Julie covers heroin, reader comments, and daily postings. “This is weird, scary, and strangely satisfying at the same time. Where did they find me? Why do they care?” Lots of good advice about marital blogging and topic swiping.

I can’t get Chris Wand – who works with me at Mobius – to write a blog. Nonetheless, he is a good writer. He’s just published an article on the Kauffman eVenturing site titled Considering Debt Capital. Well worth reading if you are an entrepreneur thinking about using debt financing, even if Chris won’t start a blog.

Googlepark: The Spaghetti Code is out in the continuing saga of Google vs. Microsoft vs. the world. I especially liked the sing along.
