I really would love to see Adriana have a conversation with Sir Martin Sorrell, chief exec of WPP. This guy understands a percentage - guessing at a specific number would be pointless - of what is going on online. But he displays a trait common in those who grasp the superficial stuff and only the […]

What MySpace Means, the event that has cost me more sleep than my own wedding probably will, took place today. I can’t speak for the people who attended, but will say that the ones who talked to me afterwards had some really quite complimentary things to say about the day. I’m still in the middle […]

Last April, Antoine and I went to Los Angeles to see how he liked it, because I thought perhaps we could move there someday in the not too distant future. While we were there, we were invited to have Shabbos dinner with my dear friends, brought to me by the blogosphere, Robert and Karen Avrech.
I […]

Hillary arrived from America this morning, and today’s been spent getting stuff together for tomorrow’s event and nailing down some urgent work for a client. I am running on empty - and on ethanol. (Daylight hours are pretty cough-free, but when it gets dark, I cough in lieu of sleep. Amazingly, this does not leave […]

I’m pretty bogged down with preparations for the event I am holding on Wednesday - What MySpace Means: Lessons for Every Brand. I am pleased to say that circumstances are now allowing me to offer a handful of free tickets to those from less cash-rich companies (probably SMEs) or individuals who have a strong interest […]

I was very impressed by a Techdirt Greenhouse demo from online editing company Jumpcut. Using clips from other Jumpcut users and Jumpcut’s own video clip repository, you can edit your own videos online and turn them in to works of digital art.
One very cool project that Jumpcut brought to the web was a trailer […]

Lunch at Techdirt Greenhouse was a much more elaborate affair this time around; the first one had consisted of lots of nice sandwich fixins, fruit, salad, and so forth. Delicious and simple. Perhaps it was the VC sponsorship from Accel, but this time there was a hot buffet with lots of nice food and salad, […]

Gosh, it’s kind of killing me to go through these notes, because I want to write a comprehensive account of everything, but at the same time am losing the will to live. Blame the Actifed.
So, going through them, I was reminded of a couple of things that really made me laugh during the day. I […]

My dad doesn’t read my blog much, if ever. He probably figures that reading my letters to the editor in the local paper gives him a flavour of what I have to say to the world. All he really knows is that I’m happy and have a purpose (or three) in life, which is pretty […]

Trust the Daily Kos to bring some hilarity to Father’s Day. Not on purpose, mind you, but is it ever with that crowd?

JP Rangaswami says that Google has brought acceptance to the idea that beta software is okay to use, and that IT teams should take advantage of that, right this minute.
We have to take this opportunity while we can. Organisation and industry DNA are already bringing immune systems to full alert, and it is only a […]

…Just in case anyone was panicking that I was going to blast you with my modest opinions on only a fraction of the day’s events…Not a chance. More tomorrow.

If it was possible for eyes to emit noise, mine and Adriana’s would have been groaning when we saw “What’s next for behavioral marketing?” on the list of questions to ponder in Techdirt Greenhouse discussion. For a moment, I felt like I was back in the decidedly Web 1.2 world of London, where concepts like […]
