Pay attention to the river of (garbagey) news!
While agreeing mostly with Anne Zelenka in her post today, “A World of Information Possibility” my impression is that she really states the obvious with her comment “think of watching a river rush by”. She’s specifically referring to how to best consume all subscribed news and blog posts. Supposedly, according to Ms. Z, there is just too much information and that “most of it is garbage”.
Now, I don’t think that most of it is garbage and if it is and you have a lot of it in your feed reader of choice, what does that make you? A garbage [...] Continue Reading…

L.A.Update
I’ve been here in Los Angeles for one full day, now. And I have to say that I am really, really bad at remembering to carry my camera with me. Perhaps I feel that there will be an air of “tourist” look about me if I am carrying it all the time?
Need to think about that. I do know that if I set aside specific time to go for a photowalk, then I’ll at least start getting more into the routine of specifically having my camera with me for the express purpose of taking photos and improving my shot [...] Continue Reading…
London Sightseeing for next to nothing
56 FREE attractions that would cost you much, much more than NOTHING if you don’t have a London Sightseeing pass the next time you are on that side of the pond?! Even if each site cost you a minimum of 5 bucks (not sure what that converts to in pounds or euros or whatever wampam they use over there ), FREE is a heck of a deal. Especially for the frugal at heart (me!).
As we are getting closer to launching The Fight Channel, I realize that a good part of my job is going to be traveling [...] Continue Reading…
Implicit Web 3.0 Defragged!
Today was my “uh huh” moment. I guess it actually started yesterday with Jason Calacanis’ rather simplistic attempt to get the 3.0 definition space going. I can only imagine he now gets tons of back links and juice from that post and declaration. And that’s cool, don’t get me wrong.
And this morning I read Josh, the Redeye VC’s take on The Implicit Web. While longer, it is clear, and gets much more to the heart of what the next wave of evolution online is to be about. We clearly are in that slow dissolve from the 2.0 paradigm to [...] Continue Reading…
What will the next 5 comments be like?
Have you ever just tried to think about what the comments your posts were going to get? I try not to write with that in mind, and at the same time, I do think about creating posts that not only elicit responses, but certain types of response.
Not sure what sort of responses, if any this conversation might get, but let’s see!
Online betting all day long
When I hit Vegas, I spend very little time in the casinos. Usually about a roll of quarters in the slots and that’s pretty much all the casino gets from me. I do however spend a bit more time in the Sportsbook betting facility. Not so much because I bet heavily on sports, but more that I like the betting environment when I’m in there surrounded by the television screens and the players looking to participate.
Online betting is a mega-dollar industry, and if you are going to fund part of it, you definitely want to be sure you are [...] Continue Reading…
Ecommerce Software
Some of you close to me may know that I am doing more work with one of my business partners as we ramp up towards the launch of The Fight Channel. One of the necessary areas of my research has to do with figuring out which shopping cart software we are going to use when we do launch that site. Additionally, I am also in the proposal phase of providing another Los Angeles based company with online streaming services and their current shopping cart, while adequate, is not really anything special, and so I’ve been able to use my [...] Continue Reading…
AZ DOT Pledge
Photographed by jamesdkirk
You may have noticed that I posted via twitter and a couple of flickr pics on Monday, my experience going to the Arizona Department of Transportation to become fully “Arizona-ized”. Dread had been filling me ever since I moved to Cottonwood 3.5 months ago.
Why the dread you ask? Mostly because I was coming from California, and if you live there, or have ever had the “pleasure” of going to the DMV there, you’ll immediately recognize that it can be quite the ordeal to deal with that bureaucratic behemoth which wallows in the worst customer service climate [...] Continue Reading…
