Podcasting has been on my radar since sometime last fall, and I have seen it pick up some steam in the last couple of months. Anytime Mark Cuban takes the time to devote an entire post to something, its worth thinking about. Mark thinks the history of streaming broadcasts of the 90’s will repeat itself […]

I’m giving this program a test… so far, so good.

When the Mariners finally made the move to designate Bret Boone to assignment, I was thrilled. This move effectively ended his time in a Seattle Mariners uniform. About time, I say. I don’t consider myself an overly negative or quick switch sports fan. I never liked Bret Boone wearing a Mariners uniform, even in his […]

I just got back from another really nice weekend at Lake Chelan. Great friends, great weather, great food, and some great drink made for a rather enjoyable independence day.

Last night something horrific happened…. my love affair with the Pita Pit came to a bitter end, crashing to the ground like the crumbs of perfectly baked pita bread. After multiple attempts to revive the flame it ended with with a final Chicken Crave pita. It’s a truly unfortunate ending that makes me sad when […]

It’s summer and I’m itchin’ to get away… far away. This is a sunset picture taken by Le French Monster of Sunset in San Sebastian, Spain, within the heart of Basque Country. I found this on Flickr, one of the coolest places on the web. Check it out!

Fans of the Boston Celtics have to be excited about their first round draft pick today. Highly touted high school senior Gerald Green slipped all the way to the Celtics in the middle of the first round. Many had speculated that Green would be taken in the top 10. With last name like Green the […]

I just checked into Google Earth, which was just released in a public beta today… and its way too cool. Here is an image of Florence that is at hot air balloon altitude. Check it out… http://earth.google.com/

He is podcasting from Gnomedex right now - The Daily Source Code #200. I think this will be a great way to wrap up Gnomedex, and my blogging from Gnomedex. Have a good one!

Steve Rubel just finished up his presentation at Gnomedex. He made a good point and made it clearly: PR is changing, and now its suddenly more about listening and less about talking. He also stressed that in his opinion the press release in its current format is dead, except for in large scale aqcuisitions and […]

More geeking out from Gnomedex.
Steve Rubel is speaking this afternoon, and I am looking forward to his discussion on the changing environments of advertising and PR. Adam Curry is also speaking today, delivering the closing key note… He’s bound to be entertaining in one way or another.
There were plenty of interesting reactions to […]

There is a group on the stage right now discussing the future of open-source and how to market it. It’s pretty interesting. They are stressing dual licensing as the model of choice in open source; where you have the community to help develop the applications/software and then charge a fee for support or […]

The ultimate goal of syndication is to have “what you want, when you want it, and where you want it.”
But, what happens when there is so much noise out there that you don’t even know where to start looking for what you want? Will search engines and aggregators be able to keep up? This was […]

Dean just finished his keynote. Coverage has already started to post on eWeek. Microsoft has made details available at http://blogs.msdn.com/ie as of noon pdt.
My key takeaway from Dean’s keynote is that Microsoft is fully onboard to integrate RSS into Longhorn. To put it simply, their goal is that all feeds will be available to all […]

Dean has just taken the stage, with an appropriate introduction from Chris Pirllo. He is donning a t-shirt that says Longhorn (hearts) RSS, I wonder what that is all about.
