I saw this review of Windows Live search, which made me go out and try it myself.
Of course, it crashed my browser (Firefox). But the part I saw was good. Maybe even great.
The infinite scroll on the search is an excellent feature. It’s amazingly easy to move through search results - much better than paging […]

Bandwidth is amazingly - even freakishly - cheap these days. I saw this quote the other day:

Today’s average residential broadband user consumes about 2 gigbytes of data per month, Kafka estimated, which costs the service provider about $1. As downloading feature films becomes more popular, they might consume an average of 9 gigabytes per month, […]

Got an email from Sun a couple of days ago: they want to send me a free server. And what a server it is - wow!

Trial configurations of new Sun Fire T2000 servers ship with the UltraSPARC T1 processor, two 73-GB drives, and dual power supplies. You can select from the following multi-core CPU and […]

Saw this quote in an ESPN story:

You never know how stupid you are until you have to leave lots of voicemail messages.
Sheesh.
I’ve had to call a large number of principals (school principals) over the past week or so, and like most busy leaders, at least three quarters of them were unavailable. Which means that a voicemail is usually the best option […]

Gerald at Vancouver Web 2.0 Forum published an interview he did with me today.
Very nice if I do say so myself.

As I mentioned recently, I’ve been looking for ways to simplify this site.
It’s a truism, but more is not always more.
And I was really starting to feel that more was less. So I’ve been getting rid of stuff:

Google AdWords
Chitika MiniMalls
all the “add to Google,” “add to feedburner,” “add to My Yahoo,” etc. […]

I’m more convinced now than ever before that insiders are not the best people to explain a product or service that they’ve created. They’re not the best people to write about it; they’re not the best people to market it.
I rediscovered this recently when feeding our CEO some information for a PowerPoint.
I went full-bore and […]
