Damn. Riding after 6PM is rough. Far too many people out and 80% of them are morons. All in all a good hard ride. The best part was the last few miles. I'd been barreling through the lumbering masses, weaving in and around people and setting my lines, looking for openings (I went to public school, I can navigate crowded spaces well.) I finally found a good enough opening where I torqued it up to

Rocking past weekend here in NYC. It was Design Week, so we hit a bunch of open houses, demos and presentations. The craziest one was a YMCA that was converted into an apartment. 7500 square feet of living, working and playing space. Crazy. Could entertain 300 people easily. Slick sound system, theater and more. Really insane. I have some phonecam and phone video stuff I'll try to post soon. We

It's one thing if men want to be fucking morons and blow each other up for bullshit fucking reasons usually relating to the Big Bully In The Sky. But when kids get killed, it's really fucked up. Have you seen this picture and the others like it? story.news.yahoo.com/photo/

In the early 90's I played guitar for a band from Hollywood named Savage Grace. They came to NYC and I hooked up with them downtown. We toured quite a bit, hitting the east coast, New Orleans and all through Texas. We opened for TSOL, Gwar and some other fun bands.The other guitarist was a guy named Christian. Oh boy, he's is some shit now. "Authorities raided the center and Logue's apartment in

The human body is an amazing machine, no? No. It's fragile and fickle. I got a nice ride in today and I'm embarrased to discuss the numbers. Heart rate, way down. Cadence, a joke. I need to join a gym and keep the level of fitness I had this past summer and fall up year round. There's no excuse. Regardless, it feels good to get on the bike and suffer. It just feels better when you start to suffer

Thank GOD I finally got some time in on the bike. I was going f*cking nuts. All mental work and next to no physical activity. Well, other than the usual indoor sports, that is. The past 45 days have definitely taken their toll. The human body loses all it gains rapidly once you stop training. My cardio sucked. My stamina sucked. But it felt great. Just gearing up felt good. Like some Pavlovian

In a "Dear Condi" letter, Lloyd Axworthy rips us a new one. "If you want to have us consider your proposals and positions, present them in a proper way, through serious discussion across the table in our cabinet room, as your previous president did when he visited Ottawa. And don't embarrass our prime minister by lobbing a verbal missile at him while he sits on a public stage, with no chance to

Romaine from The Derek and Romaine show on Sirius satellite radio was kind enough to offer me a recurring spot to discuss technology, the internet, mobile devices and things like that. We'll be taking caller's questions and generally having fun. I've been on the show a few times before and have always enjoyed it. Monday nights at 7:15 EST starting March 14th.

Dear Internet, I am sorry that I have been ignoring this blog and spending more time on the other one. The fact is, work is something I like to do and the other blog is attracting some smart people who(m) I like talking to. I got a haircut tonight. Does that count as a postable event? No, I didn't think so either. Ummmm, I grew my facial hair back? Does that? No? Shoot. Errr. It's funny how the

At the day job, I send out an occasional newsletter that details some of the cooler and more useful developments in the technology industry. This can be everything from legal issues with software and hardware, consumer electronics, cultural developments like blogs, social networking, open source and so on. It's a simple email with a description and a link, meant to stimulate thinking about how we

Some days you're big wool overcoats and other days you're tight ballistic nylon. The van dyke is back. Grayer, but back. One day you're strong as a bull and the next, bronchitis has you under the covers. Group dynamics are worth studying. Mexico or Costa Rica are sounding good. The news isn't news to those of us who've been paying attention. The average American, is. TV is the opiate of the

PRESIDENT BUSH: "You work three jobs?" MARY MORNIN: "Three jobs, yes." PRESIDENT BUSH: "Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that. "(Applause.) "Get any sleep?" (Laughter.) No George, that's not "fantastic," that's fanf*ckedup.

"I’ve spent my life going in the back door and coming out the side door. That’s the way it is now. When it only takes two years for your job to morph into something that would have been unimaginable twenty-four months before, it’s not really practical to go in through the front door. Not really practical to get the degree, the certification, the appropriate experience. I mean, even if you went
