Jeff Nolan's take on innovation, entrepreneurship, tech and stuff that interests me
Yet another news story about the state of education in California, although this one in the form of a story on how California’s population growth is slowing as people leave the state for opportunities and cost of living. The reporter on this piece points out that the state’s supply of college-educated workers is in doubt, [...]
I was talking to Ross about this today and mentioned off hand that it’s not like Google is building a walled garden but rather putting barbed wire up to fence off what was a free range. We have been facing this issue with Google API in that we can drive the backend server functions but [...]
Funny, no very funny (I called TBS’ support line to confirm). The Dilbert Blog: Those al-Qaeda Taped Messages: Am I the only one who thinks al-Zawahri has his own cubicle at al-Jazeera?

Remember Sony’s other ITMS killer, Sony Connect? I really dig my PSP and have often wondered by Sony didn’t market it as a [...]
I’ve tried Second Life and didn’t much take to it, but irrespective of that I think this virtual store that Circuit City is hosting is kind of dumb. First of all, I hate going to their stores to begin with, so why would I want to do that online as well, but more to the [...]
It’s easy to forget that pioneers like Shugart literally formed the DNA that the Valley was built on, from the hard charging mentality formed out of a belief that anything was possible to the discarding of business traditions like wearing a tie to work. It’s sad to see a generation of entrepreneurs pass away, but [...]
