Earlier I talked about the idea of a direct democracy. I promised I would give a concrete example, and I will, very soon. First I wanted to discuss one method to govern such a democracy that Jeff sent me a little while ago.
It is called EfficaSync and if you have some time I recommend that [...]
Digital Music is Not Where it Should Be
That was the title of a draft of a post I have been meaning to write on this blog for more than a year. I haven’t had a chance to formulate my thoughts on digital music clearly yet, so I did some research. It seems that no one [...]
A lot of companies, especially startups, have trouble keeping their users. Early adapters like myself try the site, think it might be cool but leave for whatever reason. Jeff Atwood talks about the phenomenon on his new site, Stack Overflow: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001174.html.
Jott is just such a hot, new site. I tried it out a few days [...]
Everyone keeps asking me what I do at work. I work for the client team (the program that runs on your computer) for Office Communiations Server. And now, you can see more: http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/10/14/Microsoft_to_release_OCS_2007_update_in_February_1.html

My friend Jeff called me the other week to propose an idea, or rather to verbally think, as he often does. Democracy, it seemed, was on Jeff’s mind, and its relation to the internet. I, a fan of the internet’s power to empower people, love to talk about such things, and so Jeff and I [...]
I just booked tickets for the Princeton at Yale football game on Nov 15. If you will be in New Haven that weekend, give me a call and we’ll hang. On Friday I might be in NYC for a little also.
A friend of mine sent me a video a while ago which I had intended to blog about. I think it mostly speaks for itself, and since I have been busy of late, I think I will just give it to you as is:

I had outlined a post detailing the minutia of my first Yom Kippur away from home, and even begun writing much of it. I could not finish the post though. Usually that means I have either lost interest or misinterpreted my own thoughts originally. So, here are the highlights.
On Rosh Hashanah, Julia and I got [...]
Recently my sister’s hard drive died and she lost nearly everything. By an unbelievably odd coincidence, she happened to save an electronic copy of her senior essay, which made her very happy. Still, it took her almost a month to figure out where she could find it. I can’t imagine what would have happened had [...]
Tulalip Casino and gambling addictions
Three of my friends and I went up to Tulalip Casino this weekend for a little Friday night fun. I only play craps, even though I don’t really know how to. It is fun to me, especially talking to the other people at the table. I did pretty well last night, leaving with about 3 [...]
