I am awed and outraged. I am awed by Bob Woodruff. I am outraged at our politicians.
I am half way through watching Bob Woodruff’s report To Iraq and Back on my TiVo. You want to see something that will make you cry (sorrow but also joy). Watch this program (ABC has the full program on […]
I have a confession to make- I’m a tech book junkie. Over the past year, I have purchased (and returned half of them) close to 40 tech books. No, I haven’t actually read all of them (although I did intend to read each one at the time of purchase. lol). Instead, I read about 25% […]
As a user of Google Apps, I’m glad to read that Google is rolling out a premium version of the service. One suggestion. I would like to see Google incorporate Google Language Tools (Translator) into the Gmail piece of Google Apps. Make this translation feature only available in the premium Google Apps version.

We’ve all heard what happened on that jetBlue plane in NYC, which sat on the tarmac for 8+ hours. Yes, I would have been apoplectic too if I had been on that plane. BUT, jetBlue has handled itself amazingly well post-SNAFU. It’s been interesting to watch as jetBlue and David Neeleman say they are sorry […]

As Ian Bremmer (President of Eurasia Group) explains in an article in Newsweek international the situation can also be viewed from […]
Thomas Friedman gets it right. See his article Will Russia Bet on its People or its Oil Wells? Thank goodness Michael Wines is no longer covering Russia for the NYT. Wines’ analysis was always painfully detached from the actual reality of Russia. To see an example of the “new Russia” check-out the website for the […]
I believe that the widgetsphere has reached the end of its beginning. I saw a new widget today which proves to me that my vision for Personal Widgets serving as “data containers” is possible.
First, thank you and a hat tip to Lawrence Coburn at Sexy Widget. Lawrence wrote a great blog post yesterday titled, LinkedInABox […]
Tim O’Reilly wrote a very interesting blog post regarding a favorite topic of mine- Address Book 2.0. Here’s Tim’s original blog post titled Social Network Fatigue and the Missing Web 2.0 Address Book.
And here’s my response to Tim in the Comments:
Address Book 1.0:
The purpose is to capture data about people and organizations with whom […]
My friend Sergei Galtisky has certainly made a name for himself and his company Magnit in the 11 years since I first met him in the Summer of 1995. Sergei represents the best of Russia’s newest crop of young entrepreneurs. Sergei has built Magnit (Tander) from a small wholesale operation serving the local markets of […]
