This is an internal video of Steve Jobs at NeXT in 1991. Skip to about 4:30 in the video: Those MS ads you’ve been seeing recently that keep mentioning Apple are exactly what Steve Jobs wanted with NeXT – that every customer of the market leader also considered his product. And Microsoft just made that […]

This is another thing I just couldn’t find no matter how hard I googled. Here’s the story behind this post. Scroll down if you want to get at the useful stuff. I run a cluster of Dell 2950’s and I just ordered second CPU’s (Intel XEON E5410 64 bit) for all the machines. I test […]

Marc Andreessen predicted the “oncoming nuclear winter” on April 18th in Ning’s […]

If you’re still mindlessly stumbling into starbucks, give Umbria (or Zeitgeist or Elliot Bay Bookstore) a […]

Video from 1 week ago with Joe H and Tom R skiing down Rainier from Camp Muir. Thanks Joe for putting all the clips together! We ran out of water about halfway down and the clip about the water bottle is me holding a squeeze bottle filled with snow that just refused to melt. We […]

Had an amazing weekend with friends Joe Heitzeberg and Tom Romary. We met on Saturday evening in Rainier park. The campsite at Cougar Rock was full so we drove a few hundred feet down the road, parked at a trailhead, hiked in a bit and slept under the stars. We got up to paradise at […]

Alan Steele just tagged me to write 7 songs I like and then tag 7 people I know to do the same – kind of a blog chain letter. I don’t actually know 7 bloggers – and yes, I don’t get out much at all – in fact I’m pretty much an uber nerd who […]
I thought I’d share a little moment I had recently. We rolled out a new version of Feedjit a few days ago. Nothing changed on the user interface – so no new user features. It was mostly performance enhancements on the back-end servers. The new code was the results of many weeks of research and […]
