I added a banner to my blog today, 10,000 Miles to ETech, because I plan to post a lot to the blog over the next couple of weeks while on my trip to O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology conference, and a jaunt in San Francisco.

Eddie, having recently taken over as Chief Executive of the Nine Network, has his plate full given the rising number of entertainment choices we have today. However, he seems to have a clue, if his statements in today’s Australian are anything to [...]

Guy Kawasaki is a well repected venture capiltalist in Sillicon Valley. He wrote The Art of the Start : The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything, which is a must read for anyone starting a new venture. So when he writes on his weblog, it’s well worth a read.
I chatted with him on The [...]

I’ve created a Geek Dinner event at Upcoming.org for March 11 in San Francisco.
I know a lot of people will be at SXSW, but I’m guessing plenty of people won’t be able to go. So if you’re interested add yourself to the list attending.
