• BlogOn Expectations

    Posted on July 24, 2004

    BlogOn was yesterday, and I’ve let the issues percolate for a while before trying to write up what I took out of yesterday’s conference. On the whole there was some interesting discussion, there were definitely interesting people, but I think the conference as a whole was a miss. Why? Cause... [Read More]

  • BlogOn Commentary

    Posted on July 23, 2004

    The first couple of sessions were a bit of a let down actually. There wasn’t much being talked about that stood outside of the normal questions. I can excuse that however. This is “the business of social media”, and it does seem like a much more business focused group than... [Read More]

  • BlogOn Transcripts

    Posted on July 23, 2004

    I’m over at BlogOn today. There’s not much need to upload notes. Heath Row already has transcripts up: [Read More]

  • Technorati with CNN at the Democratic National Convention

    Posted on July 22, 2004

    Weinberger picked up the post about Technorati providing blog information during the Democratic National Convention. The story has been picked up and spread all over the place by the blogging “in crowd”, but I figured I would spread it here also cause it seems like I have more of a... [Read More]

  • The State of Mapping

    Posted on July 16, 2004

    infogargoyle has a post about mapmaking, in particular the use of RDF to collaboratively define space. I’m surprized that a strong open source community hasn’t already started to form around mapping for mobile devices. Maybe it has and I just don’t know about it yet? I see projects like OpenGIS...

  • Now That Bluetooth Is Alive, It's Dead Again

    Posted on July 15, 2004

    TheFeature has an article, Now That Bluetooth Is Alive, It’s Dead Again, which is a nice even bit of commentary about Bluetooth. I am actually pretty surprised that Bluetooth sales have picked up the way that they have. I’m a pretty heavy Bluetooth fan I guess. Maybe fan isn’t the... [Read More]

  • Educators Corner

    Posted on July 15, 2004

    At the AlwaysOn conference Tom Byers mentioned the Stanford Technology Ventures Program Educators Corner. The web site has a number of video clips from famous or interesting people in business, talking about the kinds of things they normally talk about at conferences. But you can download them any time and... [Read More]

  • AlwaysOn Web Cast

    Posted on July 14, 2004

    There’s a web cast from AlwaysOn today and tomorrow. There’s also an event wiki at SocialText. And a few of us have jointed #alwayson on irc.freenode.net instead of using the live chat they have setup.

  • An introduction to open-source hardware development

    Posted on July 12, 2004

    Mohamed Salem mailed me to say that his article An introduction to open-source hardware development was published in EEDesign. Congratulations Mohamed and Jamil!! He mailed me a copy while he was still working on it, and I’ve been anxiously awaiting the publication so that I pontificate on the subject without... [Read More]

  • Bay Area Mobility Forum

    Posted on July 10, 2004

    We just finished up the pre-forum forum meeting of the Bay Area Mobility Forum (BAMF). I hung around to drink more cause, well, I have a GPRS connection and it’s nice out :-) The meeting was actually really good. What we’ve decided to do is have a few relatively low-key... [Read More]
