Yesterday, without thinking about the consequences, I Twittered the following: “In Tampa for my big job interview. Just saw Girardi in the airport parking lot. Small world.” I like letting people know what’s going on with me, but sometimes I should think before I tweet. Yes, it’s true. I have been interviewing with the YankeesContinue reading “Interviewing to manage the Yankees”

After not thinking about LOGO for years and years, it appeared to me twice this week. The first time was when we were taking a tour of a school my older son might go to next year. They had computer generated drawings in the hallway and someone pointed out that they were teaching LOGO inContinue reading “LOGO’s comeback”

TechCrunch reported that Propeller.com has been doing better than Netscape.com since AOL took the Netscape domain away from the social news team and turned it back into a portal. The conclusions they found included: the audience must have been really loyal to the social news site that Jason and the entire Netscape social news team were vindicatedContinue reading “Propeller envy”

You all know that stars like Mark Cuban, Jason Calacanis, Peter Rojas and Harvey Levin use my old blogging platform, but are there any other famous people using Blogsmith? Sure there are! Niki had the food channel on yesterday and I asked her if we were watching Bobby Flay. She said it was Tyler Florence. Ah, I remember that name becauseContinue reading “Celebs on Blogsmith”

I enjoyed Ryan Block’s response to Nick Denton’s assertion that Gizmodo’s traffic has passed Engadget’s. The most interesting section was the one where Ryan addressed Denton’s claim that “Engadget had… in AOL, a corporate parent which funneled through new visitors.” “Oh Nick, how I wish. According to our internal traffic systems, yesterday, our second biggest day forContinue reading “Engadget vs. Gizmodo”

My wife guessed my Twitter address and followed me. One of my favorite web designers found me from her blog and followed me. So I came out of the Twitter closet and followed a bunch of people I like. Does this mean I don’t think Twitter is for teenage girls anymore? No. It is still a greatContinue reading “Outed on Twitter”

I am a sucker for anything about Frankenstein or mad scientists. Especially a good comic strip. Especially a Rhymes With Orange one.

Last night I took my sons to a Yankee game without Niki. The people in front of me thought I was brave. Our seats were only a few rows away from right field, but the view was blocked by the foul pole and its net. Besides the great game and the win, the highlight forContinue reading “Yankee squirrel”

We saw Alice in Chains open for Velvet Revolver last Saturday at Jones Beach. It was a great show, but it reinforced the drawback of having an established opening act. Let me explain by example. We saw Stone Temple Pilots open for the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Jones Beach a bunch of years agoContinue reading “Opening acts”
