Curse Of Being an Early Adopter and Tech Blogger

Jul 2, 2008 Author: David | Filed under: Ramblings

I woke up to an interesting tweet from Robert Scoble this morning:
How far ahead of the world are all of us? When I showed researchers at HP my live Qikking cell phone they couldn’t believe it.
I found it, first, a bit ironic seeing as Robert recently declared blog comments dead when, as I pointed out, [...]

Who You Surround Yourself With

May 17, 2008 Author: David | Filed under: Making Money, Ramblings

I am sitting in my hotel room over in Scottsdale, Arizona at the moment. I am here attending a Launch Masters Retreat at Harris Fellman’s pad. We’re talking internet marketing, chowing on food, working the open bar he has set up, riding around in a Hummer stretch limo and basically hanging out.
Yesterday was the first [...]

The Secret To Production

May 14, 2008 Author: David | Filed under: Ramblings

Here is the big secret. Ready for it?
Go out of town.
Seriously. I am flying to Phoenix early Friday morning. I am losing a regular working day this week (Friday). I have a lot of irons in the fire which means I have a lot to get done before I leave. So, this means I just [...]

I saw the story about Google launching Friend Connect. Cool. Yeah, whatever. My question is when are they going to finally plug the gaping hole in their Google Apps package: the to do list.
I am a Google whore. I love the company’s products. They are generally well executed. But, it just floors me that they [...]

R&R From Weirsdale, Florida

May 3, 2008 Author: David | Filed under: Ramblings

I have been doing some things on the laptop today. Posted three blog posts to PCMech (along with a Youtube video) and am now posting this photo from where I’m sitting right now in Weirsdale, FL.

There is always something cool about being able to “work” while sitting outside in a place like this. And it [...]

“The Simpsons” - Is The End Coming?

Apr 13, 2008 Author: David | Filed under: Ramblings

You can typically tell when a series is coming to an end on TV. How? It gets serious. The comedy is sucked out of it.
I watched Simpsons tonight and, sadly, I’m seeing it in the cards. In this episode (Papa Don’t Leech), the Simpsons take in a country singer who apparently once hit on Homer. [...]

Gnomedex: Yeah, I’m Going Again

Apr 12, 2008 Author: David | Filed under: Ramblings

After thinking about it a couple days, I decided to give Gnomedex another go this year. So, it is scheduled for August 21-23rd in Seattle. I think I might check into getting a room right there at Bay Harbour. Last year, I stayed inland from the conference. It was about a 20 minute walk. No [...]

Open Suggestion to Chris Pirillo on Gnomedex 8.0

Apr 9, 2008 Author: David | Filed under: Blogging, Ramblings

It looks like Chris Pirillo is starting to organize Gnomedex 8.0 in Seattle in August this year. I got an email from him yesterday where he is giving people who have attended in the past the chance to sign up early.
But, the question I have is this: should I even go?
I went to Gnomedex last [...]
