Is there anything more cool 
| | [Later...] The Mavs won. They were an offensive machine, with every player contributing. And they played killer defense on Shaq and Dwayne. It was a humiliating defeat for Miami. |
| | By the next morning, Mark Cuban's blog was down. One can guess why. |
Half (or less of) a Gang up
| | I prepared by listening to the rest of Attention Deficit Theatre Part II, in which I dust off my old chops as an improvisational comic. It was the most fun I've had since Part I of the same thing. |
The Company you lose
| | 6. We of course never made the article and the reporter deleted her blog about a week later. |
| | 7. We saved this as we feel it makes a good point that you need to have mutual respect as a blogger and traditional media interacts. |
| | 8 We believe you need to have transparancy. That is something we feel they lack. |
| | Kevin is also leading the Stop Web 2.0 movement. Which may be a contradiction in terms, but... we'll see. |
In addition to Chasing Amy
Can't wait to avoid it
| | Here Becky Brown explains, in her own and Andy Plesser's words, "how Viiv will let the consumer have what they want, at home when they want it." |
| | Sure. As long as what you (excuse me, "the consumer") want doesn't come from partners of non-interoperable competing content-delivery plumbing and gear from Apple, Google or Yahoo. |
Companies are schwag
| | What's most interesting to me about both guys is that I can't imagine either of them fitting into a job title. Both will play roles, of course. But job titles, boxes in org charts, are so last-millennium. They are relics of an Industrial Age that was born of the doomed notion that people are best understood as cogs in corporate machines. |
| | One sad thing for Microsoft about losing Scoble was that they couldn't pay him what he was worth to the company, which will remain incalculably large — even after he's gone. In fact, there is no HR metric for figuring the worth of a worker like Scoble, whose value to Microsoft was due more to his work outside the company's walls than inside them. Ironically, Robert Scoble may turn out to have been the most human resource Microsoft ever had. |
| | Hey, what matters most in the long run is who you are. Not who you work for. |
| | Microsoft and Scoble were both lucky to have each other. But the larger loss, in this case, is Microsoft's. |
| | Meanwhile, many of us will look for Niall to fill Scoble's shoes. Won't happen, because they're different guys. Niall will make big footprints fersure; but they'll be his own. |
A short tale question for the long one
| | What causes a cable modem to do this... |
| | PING google.com (64.233.187.99): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 64.233.187.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=243 time=93.270 ms
64 bytes from 64.233.187.99: icmp_seq=3 ttl=243 time=96.278 ms
64 bytes from 64.233.187.99: icmp_seq=5 ttl=243 time=102.826 ms
64 bytes from 64.233.187.99: icmp_seq=7 ttl=243 time=95.846 ms
^C
--- google.com ping statistics ---
8 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 50% packet loss
|
| | I've done longer ping tests, and with other servers, and the result is the same: okay ping times, and 50%+ packet loss. |
| | I can only fix it by unplugging the cable modem, letting it sit for a minute, and plugging it in again. Then everything is fine. This would be acceptable if service deteriorated like this maybe once a month, or once a week. About a week ago, it started happening about once a day. Now it's more than once a day. |
| | Cox (our cable company) is coming tomorrow afternoon to look at it. Meanwhile, I'm wondering if any networky type techies among you know what's up with that kind of cable modem behavior. |
