I’m on the board of directors for a school KIPP Bayview Academy in San Francisco, it’s a truly extraordinary school helping some of the most disadvantaged kids, economically and educationally, in our society. The cornerstone for the KIPP philosophy is taking responsibility for one’s self; the one thing you won’t hear at any of the [...]

Every one of the news stories I read about the Sony battery recall at Apple makes a point of saying that the recall doesn’t affect MacBook and MacBook Pro batteries, but just a month ago they started a recall for those batteries as well (I received a replacement for mine). FT.com / Companies / IT [...]

Anshu followed up on the Enterprise 2.0 post I wrote on Monday with his own post.

Posted by Jeff as web 2.0

Ismael’s Office 2.0 conference is shaping up rather nicely, the dates are Oct 11-12 and the venue (here in SF) will be announced shortly.

Posted by Jeff as Companies

Just when you think you have seen everything some stupid asshole steps up and raises the bar. Instead of “Hitler’s Cross” they should have named it “Adolf’s Place” so that it would be higher up in the phone book… that’s just marketing 101.

A small request…

Posted by Jeff as Uncategorized

I’m doing a little feed maintenance, it turns out that I had 5 different Feedburner feeds and I’m trying to consolidate them down (this is a after effect from when I moved from Typepad).
