A lesson in 2008, Don’t F with Community
So last night I saw a very powerful example of not doing business like it’s 1980.
I remember as a kid, and even as a young adult, saying, “Wow, I had no idea a Wal-Mart/Starbucks/McDonalds/You name it, was going in there.”
Those days are no more. The internet has changed that, forever. Builders and land barons can [...]
Just say no to 7-11
Skabber twittered this, and now I know where I’m gonna be tonight after work. The next block up from the office, at the Premiere Lofts. There will be the Ballpark Neighborhood Meeting and on the Agenda, a 7-11 where the Monkey Bean used to be.
Normally I’m not opposed to 7-11s, their quite nice, sell frozen [...]
My Kingdom for a calendaring solution!!
I can’t be the only person in this situation.
I’ve got an iPhone, googleCalendar, and iCal/MobileMe.ANd a headache the size of Denver, maybe Los Angeles. The easy solution between iCal and gCal, is easy now that gCal supports calDav. However mobileMe doesn’t sync calDav calendars, so my iPhone has no calendars.
I’ve been using busySync, but that [...]
I bet on the wrong horse, can the government help me out?
This nonsense with the big three and the banks, really has me thinking our government is made up of suckers. I’m thinking of writing a letter, or maybe flying (southwest) to Washington to beg in person. I mean, I went to the track, I pick the horse I thought would win, even though he had [...]
MAX 2008 Day 2!
Day to of MAX, is well, kinda like Empire Strikes Back, without the Luke screaming like a girl part. I’d say the General Session today however was very Revenge of the Jedi (yeah I’m old skool, look it up).
General Session
Adobe’s guys advertised day 2 as a must attend general session, which frankly, it usually ain’t. [...]
MAX ‘08 Day 1 Recap
Looooooooong day.
I’m about to pass out, but wanted to get my thoughts on MAX ‘08 day one down on paper.
For Tom and I, MAX San Francisco, started on Sunday. We ran some errands, put stickers on our fliers for 360|Flex Indy, and then headed over to Moscone for some socializing. We hit up the community [...]
iPhone app – get your music on! Ocarina
I probably played a total of 6 hours of any Legend of Zelda game, evar. But Ocarina for the iPhone is damn fun! Fun isn’t really the right word, since Ocarina isn’t a game, it’s a social music…. experiment? App? Experience?
You’ll just have to try it out.
The app has two modes. musical instrument mode (play [...]
Earthscape for iPhone, Boulder Denver New Tech Meetup
Tuesday (election day) was a busy one; it was the last day of Defrag ‘08, was election day, and was also a denver meeting of the Boulder Denver new tech meetup.
After Defrag Rob, Adam, Fraser and I spent some time in the bar in the lobby of the Hyatt, talking about twitter, glue, communities, etc. [...]
A conversation on the state of music
I mentioned earlier my cool lunch conversation with Jonathan Yarmis, at Defrag on Tuesday. We got to talking about Music and movies, and how the RIAA has (as we all know) completely missed the boat.
Jonathan pointed out that he subscribes to Rhapsody, spending about $200 a month year on music, he doesn’t get to own, [...]
Defrag Conference ‘08 Day Two
Charlene Li’s preso, AWESOME. Slides here. Among the best guotes, and there’s a lot of them, “Open will be the new norm”. Charlene did a great job of describing what the next few years in web 2.0/social media are likely to entail. Talking about trusting Google was big for me. I put everything up there [...]
