Great Quote!

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

hottest in web 2.0





from the makers of blogger comes a totally new way of organizing your life - using a classic - a stikkit!

this is such a great idea. It predicts if your stikkit is a new contact, calendar event, to-do item etc.. and also hooks into your mobile for easy alerts.

these guys will be huge if they can build a succesfu biz model.

big win for m365 and Mayfield - $425M

I don't know how i missed this....too much travel and behind on the news....

Sybase Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Mobile 365


Congrats to the team at M365. These guys are great, and have done a super job...and I think with a 4.7 multiple Sybase agrees. They are pushing hard into the mobile space - coming after VeriSign quickly, i think.

kids need more than english


I'm so proud of my wife. She tries and she does such a great job. She started the spanish program at the high school, and is now working on a program to teach elementary kids Spanish in the public schools.

We need more of this. Whenever I travel I feel so igorant, because I do not speak many languages. My kids will have no choice...globalization will demand that my children be multi-lingual. I hope this is the beginning of a major change in the system...I know she will try to make an impression and make this big. This is just the beginning for her...


Windows Live Search


I have to admit...as much as I am a fan of google, Microsoft is not backing down. They are taking on google head to head, especially with their new search engine that is a direct compete with these guys.



I don't think Microsoft is going away antime soon....but Vista must be a BIG WIN for them to keep any momentum.

Pondering.......


the clift, san francisco. definitely one of the nicest hotels dowtown.....& EXTREMELY comfortable seating...!

freshie

Welcome to the team. Hope you enjoyed cow tipping in columbus.

leo

Nice to meet leo face to face finally. Thanks for keeping s mobile in line in europe!

Why i love apple.

Sony was on top of the consumer mkt. Now, Apple is set to dominate. The hardware is in a class of its own (ipod, macbook, imac), software is user friendly and everyone loves it (macos, ilife), and they have the content and channel to fuel and link these units...(itunes, & pixar and hollywood.)


i converted to apple a few years ago.....they just continue to out-innovate mr. ballmer and i don't think i'm going back.

btw - iphone and itv coming .....have you heard?

Broadband market still on fire

180M users and 33% growth = big market.


to me - internet & broadband are as essential as electricity. A must have to participate in the next wave of technology.

enabler of:
free file sharing
+free phone calls
+social networking
+e-commerce
+the virtual workplace
=....... the HUMAN network.

back to electricty - soon you'll plug your appliances into the internet, just like u plug them into the outlet...rest is history.

Election mapping.....it never ends

Google's election mashupelection guide 2

I just saw the movie "Man of the Year' last night... and thought to myself..this story isn't that far out there.. the internet and social networking does have the power to make an average joe a potential president elect...at least in the near future for sure... with the new internet media...your voice is heard..and people who like you will tune and listen...and support u!

this image just reminded me of Delacroy.... go see "man of the year\."

AmericanIdol 2.0

Cingular Rings up MySpace - unsigned artists, bands create ringtones from their music

It worked for American Idol - Simon Cowell....let the consumers choose who they to hear. Why wouldn't it work for Cingular? million of users on myspace - garage bands included. Great idea!
