I didn’t listen to any voicemail in 2007.  I got plenty of them – but I didn’t listen to any of them.  Yet I got 100% of the information that people left to me.  I discovered a magical system that transcribes voicemails to emails.  And it doesn’t involve anyone that works for me. I’ve been […]

Last Thursday when I was in New York I swung by Steve Rubel’s office and hung out with him for an hour.  We caught up on a bunch of stuff but managed to squeeze in a short riff about our first computers (yes – we were talking about how old we were – which is not […]

One of the great things about the exponential growth of web-based content (both professional and user generated) is that it enables you to quickly get deep insights from amazing people that were previously hard to find. Two examples beat me over the head this morning.  I wrote about Lijit search yesterday – today Stan James (Lijit’s […]

Just joking.  But given that it was 70 degrees in Boston this weekend and it took me two hoursto dig my car out to get into the office today, the thought cross my mind (several times.)  The weather here is completely fubared. We had a hurricane in our canyon in Eldorado Springs last night.  Seriously.  […]

Whew – I just finished getting my daily feed dose from FeedDemon.  I have a daily routine for when I’m home – get up at 5am, try not to wake Amy up (I failed today), make a cup of coffee, get a bowl of fruit, go downstairs, feed the dogs, sit down at my computer, fire […]

One of my favorite parts of vacation is to voraciously consume a pile of books.  I’m a fast reader (and a good skimmer when I’m bored of a book) so most vacations end up with at least a book a day read.  My algorithm for picking the books to read is random.  I have shelves […]

I’ve been in blog migration hell the past few days.  Simple goal / painful execution.  My blog runs on Movable Type 3.2 on a dedicated server (that happens to be six years old) located in our office.  I’m about to launch a new blog and we decided to upgrade everything to Movable Type 3.3, migrate to a new […]

I’ve been in Homer for 24 hours and my desktop computer – which I turned on for the first time in 10 months yesterday – is still downloading software, updating itself, and rebooting.  I caught a note by Alex King about the same issue (he’s only been away from his PC for two weeks.)  I’ve […]

I’ve got a goal of running a marathon in every state by the time I turn 50.  I’ve done 6 and I’m 40, so I’ve got a lot of running in front of me.  A few months ago, I told Ross that I wanted to integrate a computer workstation into a treadmill so that I […]
