Quote du jour 
| | The objective of the game is to be successful as you define it for yourself and not let others define it for you. |
Real Radio Lives
| | I listened to a lot of KRCL on the way down here yesterday. Dunno why, but I'd never heard them, or heard of them, before. But man, what a great mess of music they put out. Yesterday morning most or all of the the music was by Native Americans, or had a native theme of some kind. I missed the details. What I didn't miss was that it was hard to tune away, or to turn the sound off when the phone rang (which it did, a lot). Anyway, I just wanted to salute a rare real radio station. (With something even more rare for a real station: a big signal.) |
A day in the parks
| | I've seen (and shot) Zion Canyon (and many parts of Utah) countless times from the sky, but yesterday I put more than 500 miles on a rental Taurus doing the same thing on the ground. Look for evidence here. |
| | By the way, I took the Zion detour at the suggestion of local native (and Majority Whip in the Utah House of Representatives) Steve Urquhart, with whom I spend an very enjoyable hour at a St. George Starbucks. Big thanks to Britt Blaser for making that connection. |
More than a Second (Life) opinion
| | So, it looks that, under the most conservative growth rate, we will see 3.5 million users registered and over 600,000 using the service by the end of April 2007. Under a liberal interpretation of the data, those numbers would shift to 9.6 million and just under 7 million. However, in the most likely case, it is probable that there will be 7.2 million users registered with 1.6 million logging in over the previous sixty days. Not too shabby. For the sake of planning, I would advise my readers to go with the most conservative estimate because my data set is still relatively small. Even then, this type of growth mirrors some of the growth patterns we¹ve seen in the early days of the commercial web and seem to support the contention that LindenLab is going to be a very strong player in the future. |
Smallcaliber
| | It's Sunday, even though I'm writing on Saturday Monday. That's because my hotel, the Excalibur, has Net service currently delivering 1-3 second latencies with 20-40% packet loss. Being able to see, much less post, anything, is a chore. And for this they charge money. |
| | So I'm back to my Verizon EvDO card. Which is better, but still slow on the upstream side. |
| | Had a great trip down, though. More about that later. Meanwhile, look for pix to show up here. |
