This is pretty mundane, but if you happen to be looking for a lamp, this is the most comprehensive collection that I’ve seen on the web, on a nice site, and with reasonable prices too! It’s called LAMPS PLUS. And I don’t mean L.A.M.P, I really mean, just lamps 🙂 Technorati Tags: lamps
So we’ve all heard about Facebook but only the ones of us who have a .edu email address can get an account. This was a source of envy for me. Nose pressed against the glass, I wanted to get inside to see what was going on. But of course I graduated college and so, how to get a .edu address? Simple. Just call your College’s Alumni department and generally they will be glad to issue you a .edu email address with which you can (legitimately) become a Facebook member. Yes, its for college students and alumni too! Technorati Tags: facebook
When you’re a blogger it’s sometimes a strain to say something new about a topic that’s gone around and around. I am pretty sure you’ve seen the announcement from Apple that their [next generation of Macintosh computers will use Inte...
Read more →I met Cecily Sommers at the Pop!Tech conference earlier this year. She heads up a new conference that I had read about previously, called Push. According to what I’d read, it was what Ted was 10 years ago or Pop!Tech was 2 years ago. Here’s a pretty ...

Amusingly, several posts on the wonders of Tylenol. Here’s when we really run out of things to write about… Still, it’s an op...
Read more →Heard a lot about Ruby? Ruby on Rails? Wonder what the heck it is? Here’s a good intro. > “This is not yet another “Ruby is better than Java” article. Nor is it intended to bash Java or Java programmers. Rather, it is an attempt to aid Java programmers who are investigating Ruby by helping them quickly get over the “Writing Java in Ruby” syndrome and to discover the Ruby Way.” (from “10 Things Every Java Programmer Should Know about Ruby”) Technorati Tags: ruby
No, just kidding, I am not. Some of my best friends are headhunters and I wouldn’t want to compete with them. But I do often find out about people in my network who are looking for new positions and I try to connect them to those I know who are looking for new people. Recently another person emailed me saying they were looking for someone, and I realized that I might have lost track of what openings I know about. So – to those of you who know me personally – if you are hiring, feel free to send me an email so I can keep an eye out and connect you to candidates. No, I don’t charge a fee 🙂 Technorati Tags: jobs
A little while ago there was a lot of press about how Google and Sun were forming a partnership. In Sun’s blurb about this they said: “As part of the agreement, Sun now includes the Google Toolbar as an option in dow...
Read more →I recently had occasion to learn all about a really cool MMORPG (“massively multi player online role playing game”) called Gaia Online. Yes, I am not in its demographic, but it was fascinating to learn about how the world of ...
Read more →Guy Kawasaki writes a nice little bit about VCs (some of my best friends are VCs) and about entrepreneurs. It rings very true to me. Here’s some of what he says: > “Venture capitalists are simple people: we’ve either decided to invest, and we are convincing ourselves that our gut is right (aka, “du...
Read more →I know that this blog (Power Line) is pretty hard-core conservative, but I found their analysis of the legal questions around the NSA electronic intercept program fairly convincing. > “The only constitutional limitation on the President’s p...

Did you see this clever site? Million Dollar Home Page? > “The idea is simple: to try and make $1m (US) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $1 each. Hence, ‘The Million Dollar Homepage”. The main motivation for doing this...
Read more →I came across a cool series of podcasts, done by Adam Green, on the history of the personal computer software industry. Actually Adam told me about them 🙂 You can find them here as well as directly under the [iTunes podcast section](http:...
Read more →I’d heard about it but had not seen a picture. This from Ray Ozzie’s blog: “As of last week I’m now using/testing the upcoming Treo 700w, and it’s great! The pipeline of cool devices about to emerge is stunning, and the software platform incomparable. Much to look forward to, and many new ideas for Jack as to what we might do with these devices’ capabilities…” (from Ray Ozzie’s Blog) Check out the Treo 700 here! Technorati Tags: treo
I don’t know how I missed this article, but it sure is an interesting and significant development for one, like me, who was born and grew up in Curacao. > “Under the new structure, the Netherlands Antilles will be dissolved and Curacao and St. Maarten will become separate, autonomous members of the kingdom, according to the agreement signed by the leaders Saturday night in Curacao.” (from Miami Herald) Technorati Tags: curacao, netherlandsantilles
