Tonight I’m catching a redeye or two home after some great meals and meetings with my Crowd Fusion team and a generally successful CES. I didn’t make it to dinner with the team last night, so I tried to make up for it today. What was I doing last night? I was hanging out with some Twitter friendsContinue reading “Dancing With The Crows”

Last night I went to the Intel party, hosted by @sarahcuda, @somewhatfrank, @briansolis and @zappos, and got to introduce people like Maralyn from AOL (what, no Twitter name?) to @MCHammer and watch @juliaallison be as shy and cameraphobic as usual. At the party, plenty of people had iPhones and plenty of other people (like me) were talking about how Palm hadContinue reading “What else happens in Vegas?”

I spent today at the CES 2009 convention center, checking out hot new products and meeting with a bunch of companies that want to know more about what Obsessable and Crowd Fusion are doing. It has been a fantastic trip so far on both fronts. After a couple of morning meetings, Steve Friedman and walked across the street to the massive EngadgetContinue reading “What happens in Vegas?”

Obsessable has a great application called the comparator. Our team uses it to show a grid of specs on a bunch of products and you can do some nifty things with it — but they aren’t all obvious. So we made a brief video tour of the comparator.

Over a decade ago, when my wife and I were first dating, I shaved my head and got an earring and some quality sunglasses. I loved the look. Without the glasses, I looked a little like Mr. Clean. With them on, I’d love to think I looked like The Shield’s Vic Mackey, but I stillContinue reading ““Mr. Clean” House Peters, Jr. dies”

As I mentioned on Twitter, EZ Street didn’t get a Harvey Award tonight. That award went to the deliciously perverse — but retired, come on now! — webcomic strip Perry Bible Fellowship. Glenn has a complete list of Harvey Awards winners on ComicMix. One of the other nominees in the webcomics category was Diary of a Wimpy Kid, a book thatContinue reading “Blog of a Wimpy Kid”

This was a great week for Obsessable. Well, yeah, it was the only week ever for our little personal technology guide, but still. It was great. Here’s a recap of some of the news about our launch. David Krug posted a little about Crowd Fusion and Obsessable: On Assembling Blog Dream Teams. However, I really believe the webContinue reading “Obsess me, my sweet Obsessable you”

Obsessable got a bunch of nice welcome posts from around the web yesterday. One of them from Silicon Alley Insider was called “Crowd Fusion’s Gadget Site Obsessable.com Launches To Take On Engadget, Gizmodo.” As much fun as that sounds, Obsessable wasn’t built to try and beat the top gadget blogs at breaking news about products thatContinue reading “How Jason and I created Engadget”

This weekend was packed with family events: the final Yankee Stadium game I took my boys to last night, the Squeeze and James show Niki and I saw at Radio City Music Hall on Friday, our nice kid-free dinner in NYC before the show and swimming with all of our kids on Sunday. But oneContinue reading “Infinite curiosity”

A few months before we sold Weblogs, Inc. to AOL, we covered Live8 with them in Philadelphia. We got to meet some of our Philly bloggers for the first time at the Hard Rock Cafe there. One of them was Kevin Tofel. Kevin worked with us on PVR Wire, Engadget and HD Beat — now known as EngadgetHD. SoonContinue reading “JK on the Run on the Move”
