So congrats to our friends at Upcoming.org and Flickr for their Monday launches. Plenty of coverage all around the blogosphere… it’s all been said. Here’s what Upcoming did, and here’s what Flickr did. Great stuff!
I’m really enamored of the event-related photos feature on Upcoming that knits these two products together. […]
Google into Enterprise Apps
Google’s extending into additional enterprise applications.
My buddy Dave Girouard runs Enterprise over at Google. Dave was VP of Product at Virage, and an absolutely brilliant strategist and business guy. He’s been doing a great job with Google Enterprise Search, and now has extended his product line to other obvious categories.
Congrats to Dave, and […]

Packets on a Plane
I was bummed to see that Boeing is terminating its Connexion in-flight broadband service.
I recently enjoyed the service on the SingaporeAir long-haul flight from SFO-ICN and it was amazing. Even made a VOIP call, because… I could. Worked flawlessly. Changed the way I thought about flying.
While a bummer for Boeing, hopefully […]
Interesting(ness) post from O’Reilly
Chad told me that Tim O’Reilly posted about interestingness today. I’ve been contemplating another post about interestingness for a while, and I was glad Tim beat me to the punch! Some of this I hope to discuss at the Adaptive Path UX conference Wednesday too.
I’ve been starting out most talks that I’ve given […]
Talk is Cheap… Dreams are Priceless
Last night, Krista and I went to see the play “Talk is Cheap… Dreams are Priceless.”
The play is a one-man show by Jim Jarrett. It was fantastic, both in terms of execution and content.
The play showcases the teaching of Sandy (Sanford) Meisner. In fact, the play proceeds as if the audience […]
Commentary on MySpace / Google
Today I was a last minute standin for Andrei Broder on the “The Search Laboratories” panel at SES in San Jose. Also on the panel were Peter Norvig of Google and James Colborn of MSN.
Now in the realm of search, I am not fit to carry Dr. Broder’s bag. He’s truly a legendary […]
Plagiarized, but it’s cool
Browsing the web, I came upon my eulogy for Martin Friedmann on a free homework site: 123helpme.com. It was listed under “Eulogy for a Friend.” What’s amusing to me is that someone (or perhaps just some automated crawler) thought this would have any reuse or remix value. Marty was so unique (and […]
Chris Anderson’s “Long Tail” book rocks…
On a flight today, I tore through Chris Anderson’s Long Tail book. Loved it.
It was a fascinating experience. In a sense, I think we (and by this I mean a very big Royal We that likely includes anyone reading this) have been practicing much of what the book preaches for a very long […]
