Mayfield on the “End of Process”

Posted on 18 November 2005

Ross Mayfield posted a facinating article on how successful decentralization will only come thru less process and more openness.

Posted on 17 November 2005

Thanks to Dave Young for the tip. Kodak recently put together a tour of the role pictures will have in our lives in the future. Facinating to think how Kodak views their past role of sharing and protecting photos evolving into the future. Flash Video (click skip, then on the tour sign)

Posted on 14 November 20057 September 2006

BMW for Sale

Posted on 6 November 2005

Last night I tried out the latest eBay had to offer in selling cars. Was impressed by a few things but seriously disappointed elsewhere.
