I think LogoWorks is a really neat idea, and one of the more interesting aspects of the service is the peer review that graphic designers submit their work to as part of the engagement process. Essentially, as I understand it, your “rate card” is a function not only of how LogoWorks clients rate your work [...]

I think I could argue this either way with Matt, but in the end I do believe there is a web 2.0 if anything because to suggest that web 1.0 was a legitimate “revolution” would be to discount the reality that web 1.0 was built on much of what evolved out of client/server. In other [...]

No, I’m not looking for a new job… browsing a company’s job listings is a quick and easy way to learn about some of the things they are working on. Take this “Product Manager – AppStore” listing as an example, it sounds like a nice compliment to AppExchange: Senior Product Manager, AppStore – Salesforce.com: AppStore [...]

47% growth off that base is not really impressive, but I can testify that we are seeing increased demand for open source databases like MySQL. At any rate it would appear that Oracle is fighting a rising tide and that is evident by the slow down in growth for their database business, even though it’s [...]

Whew! I was getting nervous about those carbon nanotubes running loose and all. Seriously, despite the repeated warnings that we have reached the end of traditional semiconductor manufacturing (quantum physics gets in the way), it appears that we may indeed be reaching some limitations with regard to the requirements that non-traditional computing devices have and [...]

De-Crapifiers

I remember when people first started talking about splicing in advertising to RSS feeds, the second thought I had was “well this is just a bunch of XML so it should be hard to automate the process of stripping out the ads if you really wanted to”. Feedburner has done a great job of allowing [...]

Mac Scripting

Posted by Jeff as Innovation

Apple’s Automator is a very cool scripting engine that is only limited by the creativity of the person using it. As I have gotten to know the Mac platform better over the last couple of months I am amazed at how deep it is (and yes, a little mystified at some things it does). Tapping [...]

Does this really surprise anyone who lives in the Bay Area? As long as the Board of Dupes continues to favor renters over home buyers (e.g. erecting obstacles for tenant in commons arrangements) and the SF school system remains the embarrassment that it is, of course families will leave. It’s really not that difficult to [...]

It’s one of those great ironies in our world that a well functioning deregulated marketplace actually requires more regulation than a regulated one. The debate around network neutrality is not immune to this and it’s a complex issue that requires a lot of study to understand, but unfortunately it’s just easier to read the highlight [...]

One of the reasons why I dropped my landline service and went with cable broadband and Vonage is that the taxes (fed, state, and local) applied to telephone service are egregious and significantly increase the cost of the services. If there were ever a case against “special purpose” or “limited duration” taxes, this would be [...]
