… first as a freelance blogger, then as Managing Editor of Netscape, and now as Editorial Director of Mahalo, I can say that Duncan Riley’s post about Jason (which I’m not going to bother linking to, b/c I avoid linking to garbage online) on TechCrunch is *totally* out of line.
I normally don’t weigh in [...]
Steve Rubel has an interesting post about digital curation up on Micro Persuasion. I’ve been thinking something similar since I came across Kevin Kelly’s The Bottom is Not Enough earlier this week.
Rubel mentions how Mahalo is doing digital curation, and he’s right. That makes me and my entire team digital curators. Of course, I’ve been [...]
She’s the one beating the guy with the stick of bread:
My advice to Raj (the guy she’s beating) before the shoot: “Cover your eyes. She’s fierce and she likes to go for the eyes!”

Today’s my birthday. w00t! So why do I have a picture of a figurine of Wolverine angrily cutting down a Christmas tree? That’s exactly (well, except for the “a picture of” part) what I was thinking when I opened my birthday present from my brother. It was the statuette pictured above with some Skittles and [...]
This is my favorite blog post from 2007. It’s me talking about being part of the start-up life and the difference between working on a start-up inside a large corporation (relaunching Netscape inside AOL) and starting up something like Mahalo (*) that is new and free from all the rubbish that weighs down big companies.
My [...]
Yesterday, Kristin and I visited our apartment in Bronxville, which is still waiting to be bought by some lucky family out there. The market has been at a standstill for the last few months, but someone came and looked at the place about an hour before we arrived, so there seems to be some signs [...]
I woke up with a sore throat this morning. It was a good Christmas though, despite the scratchy throat. I’ve missed coming out to Long Island and hanging out with Kristin’s family.
Last night, we went to Kristin’s Aunt’s house for dinner. We exchanged gifts with them last night and I received some money (which [...]
Here’s some video of my Asus Eee PC that I shot yesterday:
You can see the Eee next to my large orcish hands to give you an idea of how incredibly small it is. Also, I rather clumsily toggle through the screens to show you the cool cube effects that Ubuntu can support on the Eee. [...]
Marc Orchant died this afternoon:
It is with great sadness that I report that Marc Orchant, Husband to Sue, Father to Rebecca and Jason, and friend to so many, passed away just a short time ago. I was notified by Marc’s brother Craig.
His family and closest friends were at his side and his favorite music was [...]
Found this via Jordan Running’s twitter earlier today. Marc Orchant Updates and Information can be found here, including a letter from Sue Orchant, Marc’s wife, updating us on how Marc is doing:
In this past day we have seen some baby steps of improvement. He has some response to stimuli and his oxygen levels and heart [...]
Sad news to wake up to on a Monday morning:
Currently Marc’s immediate family as well as his brothers and parents are in or on their way to Albuquerque to be with Marc. Sue has asked me to keep Marc’s colleagues and friends in the technology community updated as information becomes available. Please do not contact [...]
So I’ve settled on a new design for this blog. It’s Cutline by Chris Pearson with a slight bit of tweaking (mainly with the picture). For some reason, I cannot get the template’s built in Archives to work, so I removed that page. When I tried to turn it on, it pointed to a seriously [...]
It’s time for some change. 3-column design, methinks. Any preferences, input, thoughts? Any favorite WordPress Themes that I should start with and hack to my will?
Update: New theme in place. What do you think? I’m editing it now…
Eh, I didn’t love it.
Update: I changed my mind. Still working on it.

… besides the current low price of the dollar, the years of war, the insane debt, and the falsely dichotomized rhetoric of Republicans vs Democrats is (drum roll) health care / insurance companies.
I’ve been miserable all week because my insurance company is asking for verification from my Doctor that I really need my allergy medicine. [...]
I just found out that Jason and M.J. had their new son!
How’d I find out? Via his Flickr stream! Congrats, old man! What’s the lad’s name?
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
I’m thankful for my life, my wife, my family, and my friends. My sister-in-law Maggie visiting us in LA.
I’m thankful for an exciting job working with a great bunch of people.
I’m thankful for my pug and my two parrots.
I’m also especially thankful for you, oh people on the Internet, who over the past [...]
Kristin and I went to the Getty Center today. Here’s a few pictures: Getty Center November 3 2007 - a photoset on Flickr
Tonight, we’re going out for dinner to celebrate her birthday and our 3rd anniversary.
