I’m Reading…Of all the unexpected outcomes that have come out of my blogging experiment here on WordPress, one of the most surprising has been the amount of attention I received for a post on why I like investing in timber.
Why I love Timber as an Asset Class (November 10, 2006)
Since then, from time to time, the [...]

Just in case you aren’t one of the 225 million Facebook users who received a notification, tonight at 12:01 AM EST (9:01 PM local time), Facebook decided to launch a massive “first-come, first serve” claim on usernames (or handles) on Facebook.
You might be wondering why this is big deal, since these have existed on every [...]

Those of you who follow me on Twitter (or who received an email), this blog post is about old news. But I thought I’d share here, for posterity, the fact that last Wednesday, my wife & I were blessed with the birth of our third son, Jordan Gabriel. He weighed 9 lbs. 1 oz., and [...]

It’s still fascinating to me how many insights I gain from the traffic to my own personal blog.
Today, I checked my stats briefly and noticed something really strange: my post about eBay Express, A Eulogy for eBay Express, had jumped with a vengence to the number one post on the blog. My overall traffic spiked [...]

I know I posted on this topic last week, but I thought I’d add an update after the big Battlestar Galactica debut this past Friday. Interesting to see how frak parties everywhere translated into traffic.
So far, despite the debut on Friday, it looks like my traffic may have peaked yesterday, on Saturday. 5380 hits to [...]

Can you tell that Battlestar Galactica starts its final season in just ten days? You can if you look at my blog stats…
Over 200 hits to the post “The Fifth & Last Cylon” yesterday alone.
I’m even getting referral links from O’Reilly! Love it.
No matter how I try to diversify this blog, ever since my first [...]

Had to share this small gem of a find. It’s not one of my normal RSS feeds, but my wife forwarded me this article from Mom Gadget:
Mom Gadget: MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin – Double U – Tee – H
(Turns out, the reason she asked me to look at it was to translate the “Double U [...]

Wow! This is my first post from the WordPress iPhone application.
Not sure I’ll do this often, but how cool!
Love the fact that they open sourced the code. Really cool.

Interesting timing on a post from Lifehacker today:
LifeHacker: How to Create Your Life Plan
The article points to a blog post by Michael Hyatt, CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers. The post from Michael is extremely detailed about the system he’s used for the past five years to guide his life (not just career, but life) on [...]

Definitely not at full strength, but slowly resurrecting my home workstation from the catastrophic failure of my PowerMac G5 last Friday.
Tonight I got a brand new (OK, well, refurbished) 2.8Ghz 8-core Mac Pro from the Apple Store. I managed to use Time Machine to resurrect the boot drive from my G5 onto it, which seems [...]

… but my PowerMac G5 gave up the ghost recently. I’m busy trying to get a new machine and get myself back up and running at home.
It’s times like these that blogs need hold muzak…

I don’t normally “cross the streams” on this blog by referencing posts on the LinkedIn company blog, but since I’m off to Boston tonight to speak at MIT tomorrow, I figured my posting here might be a little thin for the next few days.
Yesterday, I posted a piece on the LinkedIn blog called, “The Long [...]

I was getting a lot of abuse at work today over the new image header for this blog.
Obviously, it’s just a quick Photoshop job over the Leopard background from Mac OS X 10.5. But people seem to be completely against it. Elliot has gone so far as to say he refuses to read my blog [...]
