TechCrunch 50 came to a close last night. It was a whirlwind three days of product demos, meeting people, and running on empty. I’m surprised at how sad I feel that it’s all over for this year.
Qik had a great time at the event. There were some logistical headaches, […]

My friend Brian Micklethwait is on classic form, from Pimlico (London):
In failing neighbourhoods, nobody does anything about electronic noises except regret them, on their blogs if they have blogs, otherwise silently. In “successful” neighbourhoods, the damn neighbours are all over you at the slightest excuse, borrowing sugar, wanting you to have their keys […]

Gosh, the organizers of this event sure did know who to call upon when they decided to throw a spanner in the works…
Don’t get excited: I did not offend or outrage anyone (to my knowledge). But it was clear from the conversation happening […]

I’m flying across the country today to finally move out of my apartment. I can’t even begin to tell you how stressed I’ve been to have a second home thousands of miles away, full of my stuff. (As in, I was having dreams that I’d forgotten to move out of not one but two other […]

I feel like 31 is too old to still care about birthdays, but I can’t help it: This one far surpassed all expectations. I was at work all day, with lots of activity on the back of our beta launch today, and then headed over to BJ’s Brewhouse for a small gathering organized by Laura […]

I have a feeling this post is going to make some people mad. All the more reason to write it!
Okay, so that was a good call. Half Moon Bay is simply stunning and I still can’t quite believe that it’s so close to my house. I live in such a […]

We met Keith McSpurren, CIL’s founder, only a few weeks ago at the Personal Democracy Forum in New York. CIL was the official live blogging tool of the conference, while […]

I can be a bit of a tyrant. I have specific ideas about how things should be done, and when someone does them differently, I can go a bit nuts. I try to keep this reaction to myself; often, I fail. I was discussing this over brunch with Hillary today and she pointed out a […]

Back at Qik HQ

I cannot believe what a difference the California sunshine makes to my moods and energy levels. Work trips are always draining, because you’re rushing from one meeting or event to another, grabbing food* where you can, and trying to get proper sleep while also filling every available waking hour […]

…on the same day as TMZ, no less! Sadly, the Secret Service wasn’t keen on Congressman John Culbertson making the demo public (you can keep videos private on Qik), but the demo to TMZ happened while Culbertson was walking from an appropriations committee meeting to his office. I quite liked the shot, inside the offices, […]

I’ve been here since the wee hours of Wednesday morning, though I should have arrived on Tuesday night. What was the hold-up? Oh, just some drunk woman smoking in her seat and then assaulting a flight attendant. The inbound flight from JFK was diverted to Denver, where the woman was arrested, before finally making its […]

Daniel leaves tomorrow for ten days in China, even though I begged him to stay here and plot world domination with me. FINE, as long as I get good souvenirs from this trip. Jane (with whom I share an office) comes in halfway through this video interview and gives Daniel some much-needed advice on how […]
