I am definitely enjoying this, the tail end of 2011, living largely in disconnected mode, barely looking at news, catching up on books and movies. Come January, there will be time for frenetic engagement with the electronic world. Something I wanted to share though, was a fragment on Charlie Stross’s “how I got here in [...]
dreaming it all up again

First off: happy new year! The post title was too much to resist, honestly, which clearly says something about how my brain works. I’ll be damned if I know what it is that it says though. While I was musing about writing something it occurred to me that an arbitrary marker to signify that our [...]

mowser ends
Posted by on April 15, 2008
Nothing like some breaking news to awake you from a blog slumber. Russ announced on his blog the end of Mowser. Sad news, and I sympathize. Russ and Mike are buddies so I’ve followed the travails of Mowser closer than, well, almost anybody, so this also is a bit more personal for me. I’ve been [...]

Great day today, outside for a while which was possible thanks to non-freezing weather. Days are already getting a bit longer and the speed of life is picking up, even if imperceptibly. I’ve not been blogging much since I took a vacation last November (and it was much needed rest) but that shouldn’t last long. [...]
mike’s looking…
Posted by on November 28, 2007
Mike is leaving AdMob, which means he’s looking for the next cool mobile thing to do. Emphasis on cool. And mobile. In both cases, he knows what he’s talking about. Just call him up. But hurry, there’s only one of him!
