• Notes from Jeff Clavier Presenting at BMA

    Posted on February 15, 2005

    Here are some notes from the talk Jeff Clavier gave at BMA this morning. A lot of the talk was about the enterprise side of the equation. “What does it take to get an enterprise software play to market” type of questions. But the discussion started out with a preface... [Read More]

  • From an Idea, to a Product, to a Company

    Posted on February 13, 2005

    Jeff Clavier is speaking at the BMA roundtable on Tuesday morning. Eleanor organizes the event, and I’ve been to a bunch of them. The discussions tend to be very good. Maybe events that start at 7:30 in the morning attract only those highly dedicated to the cause. [Read More]

  • Feedster Feed Of The Day

    Posted on February 11, 2005

    There’s a “Feed Of The Day” feature on the Feedster home page. See the thing in the middle of the page, right above the ridiculously large count of feeds in the system? Basically, it’s a feed that someone at Feedster thinks is interesting. The responsibility had been falling to Chris... [Read More]

  • What's in My Wallet

    Posted on February 10, 2005

    Dave McClure asked imagine for just a moment that you’re Ballmer, Semel, or Schmidt and you’ve got a couple billion burning a hole in your pocket– what companies would you put on your shopping list?. Interesting question. I would probably pick a ton of mobile companies. Flickr, Buzznet, WirelessInk, LifeBlog,... [Read More]

  • 106miles

    Posted on February 9, 2005

    I went to the 106miles event last night. A big part of the Geek Krew were there: Niall (who took audio and should have that up on his site at some point), Eleanor, Russ Beattie, and Brendon Wilson. We’re starting to form a pretty consistent traveling discussion group. Michael Fagan... [Read More]

  • Plugins for Wireless Games

    Posted on February 9, 2005

    I’m just catching up on some posts I’ve had sitting around as drafts (there are a lot of them actually). I saw this article about Infected, a wireless game for Playstation Portable that has some viral dispersion features. That got me thinking about a whole bunch of different things, mostly...

  • Future of Art and Technology

    Posted on February 6, 2005

    On February 15th starting at 6pm is a Future Salon event titled Future of Art and Technology. I’m not really familiar with any of the efforts or organizations listed there, so I’m going to learn about the stuff. For a while I’ve been thinking about hooking together biofeedback systems with...

  • Eating Their Own Dogfood

    Posted on February 6, 2005

    I got an email from Russ the other day saying “Hey, why isn’t your phone accepting calls?” Sounded pretty weird, but not beyond belief, I normally have bad luck with billing systems. I have an account at Washington Mutual, and for a while they seemed to be rejecting autopayments for... [Read More]

  • USM Under Firefox/Linux

    Posted on February 3, 2005

    Randy seems to have some momentum going for his Universal Subscription Mechanism proposal. The basic idea is that we deal with some content types specific to RSS and Atom so that the browser can shove the handling off to an external app that then push the subscribe URL into something...
