A Day in Paradise

Don Dodge coined Web2.0 as “Web App + 2 Founders + 0 Revenue”. Funny, and not too far off the money.
Don goes into detail about the various ways that Web2.0 firms are funding their efforts. This goes from Freemium (free basic membership with paid premium package) to Subscriptions to simple Advertising.
One thing that he doesn’t […]

Posted by mobile phone:I am watching cnbc while on the excersize bike while blogging (multitasking++). They had a very.short piece about how yahoo customer satisfaction has grown 3 percent to pass google who has dropped 3 percent.
When I look at the two platforms, I have very little loyalty to google products.
Google search: I […]

I played with Joost way back in January when it was still called “The Venice Project” and beta testers had to sign NDAs (although that didn’t stop a lot of them). Back then while the technology was great, due to the number of users the quality was mediocre.
I got into Joost again at Stella’s request, […]

Yesterday I read the an article on Network Neutrality on CNN.com. The article was written by Craig Newmark of Craigslist and was VERY wrong.
Here’s part of what bothered me:
Here’s a real world example that shows how this would work. Let’s say you call Joe’s Pizza and the first thing you hear is a message saying […]

Reuters writes story about guy who films himself skiing down an escalator and then posts it on Youtube.
At T-4 you would think I would have better things to do… well, I pulled an all nighter last night and am about to take apart my desk.
Today is moving out day…

Funny Stuff. Funny youtube Mac vs. PC video included.

I too am highly disturbed by this video…

thanks ub

Now I can’t tell you what Project X is, because the NDA that you have to sign before being part of the initial wave of Project X beta testers includes a clause that says that you can’t disclose that the beta testing program exists.
However, it is awesome! Incredibly disruptive… blows huge holes in my youTube […]

In the footsteps of a couple good friends I’ve decided to make the first blog entry of the new year yet another year in review round-up for the year 2006.
It’s hard to believe that we’re already done with 2006, this one went by fast. A lot happened, and due to the overflow of work, I […]

Celebrate with the apocalyptico remix, and 10 things I hate about commandments.
In all seriousness though, have a happy holiday!

I wasn’t very impressed with this song in the tomb raider music video (what was with the flying elephants), but this version totally rocks!

This disturbs me on many levels.
Police brutality is nothing new, but what was most shocking about this video was how little the 100 or more students standing around did to stop it.
The question that needs to be answered is “if not you, then who?” what is the point in having a free country with the […]

I’ve been waiting to reveal my conspiracy theory about the Google acquisition of YouTube, but then I saw this post about Sun’s Project Blackbox, and decided it was time to let the cat out of the bag.
Project Blackbox, is a mobile datacenter from Sun. About this time last year Cringley reported that Google was working […]

PCWorld Author Dan Tynan, starts off his “25 Worst Website” list, with what I imagine he thinks is an insightful comment: “When it comes to the Web, hindsight is more like X-ray vision”. I’m not sure if Dan is ignorant, elitist or just suffering from radiation poisoning from over-exposure to X-ray vision, but this article […]
