The Car I'm Buying

I just signed up to pre-order one of these. I love the fact that it’s quiet, faster than an average Porsche, and it uses no gas.

News Corp and MySpace and why it was stupid

I can remember thinking about who might buy MySpace. I thought possibly Yahoo, they seemed to like anything that had the light scent of Web 2.0 or social aspects. I thought probably not Google, they would just turn their tech snob noses up to the poorly coded teen haven. Microsoft prefers to steal ideas than [...]

When in Houston

I just got back from Houston, someplace I had never been before. I didn’t get to spend a lot of time there, I was in and out in a couple of days. Mostly I noticed that is was freakishly humid. But I did meet some cool people, and went to a couple great places that [...]

Another Day in Vegas

I’m hitting a lot of the casino on this trip. Even though I come here a couple times per year, it’s usually for a conference or meeting, so I don’t get to look around much. This time I got a chance to really check some places out. I walked through the Bellagio, Caesars, MGM Grand, [...]

When in Las Vegas

I’m in vegas for a few days, mostly personal. I made the mistake of staying at the Luxor. The price was just to good to pass up. I won’t make that mistake again. From now on, it’s the Venetian or Wynn only. The Luxor just sucks. I finally saw Blue Man Group, which I have [...]
