• Back in the Land of the Geeking

    Posted on May 20, 2004

    After two and a half weeks on the road I’m finally back in California. Of course the best way to really feel that I’ve come back home is to get into something geeky. So I walked into the door to my apartment, downloaded a map to my Clie, took a... [Read More]

  • R&D and The Innovation Curve

    Posted on May 13, 2004

    There’s a very interesting post about the correlation between R&D; spending and profitability. The post points to a great article at strategy+business. I don’t think the news that businesses are moving from a “closed” innovation cycle (all work done within the company) to an “open” innovation cycle (where ideas in... [Read More]

  • Steaming Load

    Posted on May 6, 2004

    I just posted about Sem@code, which I think rocks. Since I’ve said so much good, I feel somewhat justified in bringing up this article about RFID and cell phones. I can think of no appropriate words, except perhaps “steaming load of crap”. Take the quote from the article used in... [Read More]

  • Sem@code

    Posted on May 6, 2004

    The Sem@code project has released a demo for Symbian phones. I posted about it at the end of last year, and I still think it’s a great idea. I actually exchanged a few emails with Simon, trying to find out what he had planned for it. He’s interested in trying... [Read More]

  • Technorati Developers Salon Kickoff

    Posted on May 4, 2004

    Technorati is hosting a Developers Salon Kickoff in San Francisco on May 19th. Although it’s called a “developers salon”, it sounds more like an open invitation to both users and developers to come and talk to the team. I’m going cause it’s an interesting tool. I like Technorati, but I... [Read More]

  • Social Networking, Social Engineering

    Posted on May 3, 2004

    I recently finished reading The Art of Deception, and I probably should have posted about it earlier. I’ve been involved with computer security for a while, and I’ve been to a bunch of the more popular security and hacker conferences, which is the reason I’m giving to myself for the... [Read More]

  • We Be Schillin'

    Posted on May 2, 2004

    I’m about to leave for a two week business trip, so I’ve been running around all over the place. There hasn’t been time to read my normal round of feeds, let alone post anything of my own. Sorry about that, but I have to admit it might only get worse... [Read More]

  • How to Hack Your Head

    Posted on April 28, 2004

    I have to let my geekness shine and provide a pointer to How to Hack Your Head, an article by Steven Johnson. Steven wrote Interface Culture, a book I just recently read and was quite impressed by. His latest book, Mind Wide Open: Your Brian And The Neuroscience of Everyday... [Read More]
