Maybe Mike should rename it “The Hole in the Wall Blog”

That bit about irritating people is a sure fire strategy for generating comments…

That Robert Scoble is a Rascal - Mike Cassidy’s Loose Ends -:

Turns out, I’ve done a few things wrong. The blog has a bad name. I write about stuff all over the map. I don’t irritate people. And my headlines [...]

HP swats a fly

The thing that sits wrong with me and this settlement is that 1) it’s not entirely clear that HP violated any laws and if they were accused of that then the AG should have settled criminal charges, and 2) a civil lawsuit settlement presumes that the plaintiff suffered some actual damages. Not only did the [...]

Year End Book Recomendations

The Economist published their annual year end list of book recommendations spanning everything from business to history to fiction. I haven’t read many of these, but the book on Alexis de Tocqueville will probably make it into my bag when published. The Battle for Spain is also one that I have been hoping to find [...]

Sitemeter and Usability, Two Words That Don’t Go Together

Like a great many bloggers, I have an account with Sitemeter for statistics. Despite having a really poorly designed user interface I have kept with the service over the years because it basically works, once you get used to the UI quirks. I even signed up for a “plus” account for $6.95 a month because [...]

Remembering Pearl Harbor

And not the really (really) bad movie either…

While it was 65 years ago, it was as FDR succinctly put it, “a date which will live in infamy“. National Geographic has a well done special feature site commemorating the event, be sure to check out the “attack map” feature for a timeline and map display of [...]

Technorati named 2007 Technology Pioneer

Congratulations to Dave and the team for this honor, it is well deserved. I have known Dave since Linuxcare and consider him a good friend; I am always pleased to see him if not for the constant enthusiasm he beams then for the perma-smile that he wears. Technorati started out with big ambition and [...]

Mac Geekery - How to View TiVo Recordings on Your Mac or iPod

I’m sure that pretty much everyone except one group of constituents is unhappy with this. For Apple it means that iPod owners can break free of ITMS for video content and for the MPAA it means that consumers can take their video content with them and not pay any “license” fees for the right to [...]

NewTeeVee Launches, Om is Forgiven

Om Malik (and Team, of course) launched a new blog last night, NewTeeVee.

“Okay, I have not been a good friend, and not a good son. (Hi mom & dad!) Hell, I have not even been a good scoop-reporter lately. Hopefully, you will buy my excuse. We have been busy working on launching new blogs, trying [...]

The Culture of Complexity

SAP, my former employer, is holding court today with industry analysts and media about their vision for the future of enterprise software. While I continue to believe that SAP is incredibly well positioned going forward with the current competitive landscape, I do have questions about the forecasts and projections about customer adoption uptake.

For example, Shai [...]

Caught cheatin’ … on ethics test

No comment from me is necessary…

New York Daily News - City News - Caught cheatin’ … on ethics test:

Columbia University officials are lowering the boom on some graduate journalism students suspected of cheating on, of all things, an ethics exam.
