I’ve come to a painful realization in the past few months: I need to blog more and tweet less. Don’t get me wrong – I’m a huge fan of Twitter. I’ve learned a lot from them from both a user-perspective and a product-perspective. The problem, however, is that tweets are ephemeral. They offer an interesting [...]

Too much fun. Tonight, we revealed the identity of Fake Leonard Speiser to, well, the real Leonard Speiser. The key to obfuscation was simple: there was no one Fake Leonard Speiser. A group of people who have worked with Leonard before all had access to account. Consider it a form of “Twitter Improv”. Yes, this [...]

Wow. The traffic from the first two blog posts on Farmville has been high. In fact, the Zynga blog even picked up the two articles. Very flattering.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
