| | I'm told that cell phones will soon be eligible for telemarketing calls. If that worries you, go to (or call) the National Do Not Call registry. I did. Nobody's called me so far. For anything. Hello? |
Who new?
Missing Esther's
| | We're coming up on the time of year that Esther Dyson held PC Forum in the desert. She did this for roughly a quarter century. There's a certain pre-Spring/post-Winter feel in the air out here on the West Coast — one that beckons PC Forum veterans to their annual pilgrimage to a fine hotel in Scottsdale or Tuscon or Phoenix. I'm sure late winter slush has the same suggestive effect to certain PC Forum veterans from the Northeast. |
| | Now Esther doesn't do PC Forum anymore. Nobody does. Nobody could. Not like Esther did, along with Daphne Kis, who presided over the annual project with gentle but firm authority. |
| | I loved that show, and made it nearly every year from the late 80s through 2005, which was its last at the Princess in Scottsdale. (There was one more last year, in coastal California, but I missed it. Those who went told me it wasn't the same. And alas, Esther made it the last.) |
| | Yes, it was elite (it cost $thousands) and all that, but it was done well, and we had fun, and along the way we did our best both to change the world and to learn how it was being done. |
| | So here's a toast to Esther, Daphne and all the other good folks who gave us a lot of great PC Fora over the years. |
Yes
| | Tim Jarrett: ...there are two markets for coffee drinkers: those who love coffee, and everyone else. Can Starbucks really continue to try to serve both? |
| | By the way, "Good question" is what somebody says when they don't know the answer. |
March times on
| | Damn, it's March. I found this out when I signed a pile of checks today, all dated March 1. Seems like last week it was January. |
| | The older you get, the faster time goes: one of life's suckiest features. Not sure if that's a bug in the system or vice versa. |
