Thursday, July 17th, 2008Several things, but one of them is certainly the fact that Google makes a LOT of money — 1.25 billion in Q2 to be exact. But Microsoft still makes more
Two Announcements from Techmeme that are Interesting
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007Right now, there are two stories on Techmeme that I think are (particularly) interesting.
The 1st is that Google Talk now works with AOL Instant Messenger — about time!!
Though I’m not much of a Flickr user, the Flickr-Picnik partnership will be great for those of you who are. You can now edit your photos from inside […]
SPAM is Declining — I’m Not Convinced
Thursday, November 29th, 2007Wired is reporting that Google says that SPAM e-mail is decreasing. I don’t know about you, but it seems like spam e-mail is increasing, not decreasing. A day seldom goes by when I receive less than 20 spam messages.

My Thoughts on the Dept of Justice Decision
Thursday, September 6th, 2007The Washington Post reported today that the Deptartment of Justice has decided it is okay for internet service providers to charge a premium for priority web traffic. I wrote about the issue of “Net neutrality” back in March and my thinking still hasn’t changed on the issue — ISP’s being able to charge content providers […]
Gnomedex Thoughts
Friday, August 10th, 2007Robert Steele was the KeyTone speaker and had a very thought provoking presentation. Definitely thinking outside the box — his main point was “Open everything”; government, bandwidth, education, etc. I’ll come back to his presentation later because there is no way I can quickly put all my thoughts together on all the topics he touched […]
Web 3.0 - From Google’s Perspective
Tuesday, August 7th, 2007I found an interesting video of Google CEO Eric Schmidt giving his thoughts on “web 3.0″ on Read/Write (via techmeme).
Seriously - Those Relying on Revenue from Traditional Phones are Screwed
Thursday, July 19th, 2007It’s one of those mornings where I’ve been up since 4 — so I decided to just bite the bullet and get out of bed. A pretty revolutionary service awaited me on Techmeme. Maybe NOW, Comcast will get the memo that their revenues from selling home phones are toast.
Why? Ooma, which launched a free consumer […]
Didn’t Comcast Get the Memo? People Don’t Need Home Phones
Sunday, July 8th, 2007So, I got some more SPAM mail recently (so annoying) - this time from Comcast trying to get me to switch to their internet, cable, and phone services. The real key for them is that, to get the great deal ($33 per month), you have to sign up for all THREE services. That means $99 […]
Apple’s Strategy to Control the Wireless Industry
Saturday, June 30th, 2007Bubblegeneration put together a thoughtful analysis of Apple’s strategy to control the wireless industry with their iPhone. Scott Karp also added some great insights over at Publishing 2.0.
The real battle for control is between Verizon, which has hands down the best network, and Apple, which now has hands down the best handset. The tide will […]
Modern Web Design - Where is the Time Spent?
Saturday, June 23rd, 2007I “stumbledupon” this image and thought it was worth highlighting
From the little web design work I’ve done & from what I’ve heard from other developers, Internet Explorer is a bitch and a half to code for (especially IE 6). It’s fitting that the yellow section is close to a third of the total web design […]
See You at Seattle Mind Camp 4.0 Next Weekend (July 1st)
Wednesday, June 20th, 2007I’ll be attending Seatle Mind Camp in Tukwilla on July 1st. From the about page, here’s what Seattle Mind Camp is:
Seattle Mind Camp is a self-organizing, digitally minded, entrepreneur-driven, overnight Seattle confab.
What: A weekend, 24-hour, multi-track event. Think huge space with breakout rooms, broadband Wi-Fi, projectors, white boards - and you.
Who: 250 of Seattle’s forward […]
Etelos - CRM For Google
Friday, June 8th, 2007I just found Robert Scoble’s video with Danny Kolke, CEO of Etelos. Looks like some killer products — one of which is a CRM that works with iGoogle. I’m definitely going to try it out. I’ve actually been wondering if there was a cheap, but fully functional personal CRM. Looks like I’ve just found the […]
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
Thursday, May 31st, 2007Check out the videos of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates — I’m sure it’s interesting stuff (I haven’t watched them yet, but will this weekend).

Interview with Feedburner CEO Dick Costolo
Sunday, May 27th, 2007For those who find RSS and blogging interesting, there’s an interesting interview worth checking out with the CEO of Feedburner Dick Costolo on WallStrip that was published on Friday. H/T to Union Square Ventures.
In the long-short section of the interview, Dick says “short” to Amazon — not sure if I agree.
And yes, I agree with […]
Seattle Tech Startups Event Last Night
Thursday, May 10th, 2007I attended the latest Seattle Tech Startup event last night over at the library in Capitol Hill. There was a good crowd, I’d estimate around 45, that showed up and several cool companies that presented to the group before everyone headed to a local pub for drinks. Here’s my general thoughts on some of the […]
Seattle Tech Scene Update
Monday, April 30th, 2007I browsed around a bit today to get a better idea of what’s happening with technology companies in the Seattle area — and found some interesting stuff:
Seattle Startup Blogs - this is where my browsing started. It’s a great selection of links to local Seattle tech blogs (make sure to thank Sampa for putting it […]
Are You a Master Java Developer??
Monday, April 30th, 2007My latest “Stumble” resulted in being sent to this Master list of Java interview questions - 115 questions. Obviously, I’m not a master java dev — the 10 or so questions I looked at meant little to nothing to me. If you know answers to the majority (or all) of these questions, please check out […]

Sunday, April 29th, 2007This morning, I met with Cliff and Mark, two UW Bothell entrepreneurs working on Zeebits.com. The site is aiming to be an online classifieds destinations for anyone selling technology related items — used servers, an iPod, graphics cards, an external hard drive, etc. They certainly have lots of challenges ahead of them in the very […]
