BloggerCon day 2

We had dinner with the BloggerCon crowd last night. It was great fun and we got to chat some amazing people, like Buzz Bruggeman.
This morning we’re sitting in the second day of BloggerCon, and Clay and I have established that it’s much more relaxing than SuperNova. Different purpose, and of course a different people, and [...]

Announcing the Web2Thing Weblog

I leave for the US tomorrow morning, on a damn early flight, and then after just over 24 hours of travel I arrive in San Francisco for Supernova.
The great news is that Graeme and I are ready to start to let people in on a few more details of our startup. We’re not quite ready [...]

For Love and Happiness

Scoble has given several reasons why he chose to leave Microsoft, his family and happiness. Two of the best reasons to pursue a new career.
When I think back to why I left Sun, for several opportunities that are all about the new industry he’s entering, it was for exactly the same reasons. I wanted to [...]

Headed to Supernova and Gnomedex

Clay, of Minti fame, suggested the other day that I attend Supernova and Gnomedex in a couple of weeks. It wasn’t a simple decision, because I’m in the middle of bootstrapping a startup with Presence Labs, and every dime counts.
However, the opportunity to network with a bunch of people and hang out with Clay won [...]

Scoble Leaving Microsoft

Wow. Om Malik links to Silicon Valley Watcher who has leaked news that Robert Scoble is leaving Microsoft to join PodTech. I’d have waited until Scoble posted about the news himself, but Chris Pirillo has confirmed it, and he’s a very reliable source.
This is just huge news, for Microsoft, Podtech, and of course Scoble. I’m [...]

Flock 0.7

A few days ago I reinstalled Flock because I was having major issues with Firefox, and I wanted to see how far it had come (I heard on TalkCrunch that it had improved).
Today it auto-installed the latest release 0.7.0.16.2 which they’re ramping up in order to move to beta in the next few weeks.

If you’re [...]

Markus’ Adsense Cheque for $901,733

Last month Duncan and I interviewed Markus Frind from Plenty of Fish for the 2web Crew podcast.
At the time it got a lot of attention because some people didn’t believe the Adsense revenue he claimed (see ShoeMoney’s thoughts here).
Since then he’s put a little effort into clarifying it, and yesterday he posted a photograph of [...]

Video Podcasts Straight To Your Television

I’ve been an optimist about the Internet’s move to encompass/subvert/overtake television for several years, however, I think it’s happening a little quicker than even I expected.
The final barrier is a simple user interface for access on a standard television set. You know, press a button on the remote, select a channel/source/stream/videocast and sit back and [...]

Strategic Corporate Communications

Cam (Kemo Sabe) pointed out on his blog yesterday, that we’re both presenting at Ark Group’s Strategic Corporate Communication conference in September.
Other than the fact that the actual presentations themselves will be interesting and fun, it’s possible that it’ll be the first time Cam and I will have met face-to-face. So I’m really looking forward [...]

Birthday and YouTube Bungee

Friday was my wife’s birthday. She’s the athletic type always up for a challenge. So I surprised her with a Bungee Jump. Of course it wouldn’t be right had I not given it a go myself, so here’s my contribution to the YouTube pile.
Just incase you missed the perfect swan dive, here is a screen [...]
