Live podcasting is the new black

March 24, 2008 – 9:58 am

As I was watching Buzz Out Loud today, I felt eerily comfortable interacting with a podcast.
Maybe it’s because I was watching Leo Laporte for six hours straight yesterday.

Laporte was giving hints about his new project yesterday on air, and it sounds like he is gonna be spending a lot of time in front [...]

Iminta the web, are you?

February 10, 2008 – 5:36 pm

My former colleague at CNET is putting his Moo-magic to work on a new startup called Iminta.

I have seen sites before where you can hook in all your feeds, but this one was the easiest to use. Even easier than Google’s Jaiku.

Iminta feels like a Flash application, but it’s purely Javascript. Once you add friends, [...]

PHP philosophy from Terry Chay

February 8, 2008 – 8:30 am

I get really excited when I hear Terry Chay is gonna give a PHP talk.

Last night, he spent nearly 90 minutes in CNET’s Magma conference room ranting about the value of using PHP more than toothpaste. This is the same room Terry organized a Lunch 2.0 at about six months ago.

If you are interested in [...]

Pownce Launch Party

January 19, 2008 – 2:45 pm

Pownce is not Twitter. It’s not even close. I use them for completely different things. Twitter is much simpler. It asks, “What are you doing?”
Leah Culver’s startup takes that to the next level. I believe the main purpose of Pownce is to share media with your friends. You can easily send a link, video, photo, [...]

Happy belated birthday Matt

January 16, 2008 – 6:31 pm

If it weren’t for Matt Mullenweg, I might not have been a blogger.

He created the best personal publishing platform on the web today. Glenda Bautista organized his 24th birthday at Big Foot Lodge in Nob Hill.

It’s always a good party for me when all of the founders of Spontaneous Drinking Night are in attendance.

Andrei Zmievski [...]

Yet another Wordpress blog

January 13, 2008 – 10:21 pm

I have made so many Wordpress blogs for my friends. I explain to everybody that it’s literally free to publish nowadays. Your blog can compete with the New York Times.
I spent all day hanging out with Angela today, and I have been promising her that I will make her a blog. She has been writing [...]
