IE7 Installed

I’ve been running an internal Microsoft build of IE7 for a while now, but it was nice to get my hands on the new Beta 2. Lots of big improvements, even from the October internal build I had. Tabs are much smoother, the rendering engine has finally been overhauled and lots of cool things under […]

Gmail Down?

*sigh*
Gmail appears to be down. Y’know, I don’t count on Google for a lot (they’re just my mail backup system, really). But being totally down right now?
*sigh*

More on Venture Disruption

This isn’t really my thoughts, since I just woke up and don’t have the energy for thoughts. But, there’s been some more talk on this over the last few days, and I wanted to highlight some of the interesting bits.
Rick Segal posted a more detailed entry on some of his thoughts. James Cox had a […]

Disrupting Venture Capital?

People (like Doc Searls (and again), Rick Segal, Dave Winer, Shel Israel and others) are talking about “disrupting” the venture capital business.
While I’ve always been weary of people who set out to be disrupters (as opposed to setting out to serve customers, or setting out to raise up better entrepreneurs… ie: I prefer a tangible […]

Keeping Your Blogging Healthy

It’s likely that most Ensight readers have realized that in the last year my posting level has gone down. I used to blog 3-7 times a day. Now I barely blog 3-5 times a week.
This is because in the last 6 months I’ve taken on a campaign to become more “healthy” and “balance” in […]

New Server Company?

This is from a post to the b5media blog this morning:
As many people have noted, we’re having server issues. To be honest, it’s no longer load issues. In fact, the several experts we’ve brought in to have a look are stumped. And the server center says there is “nothing wrong” with the box, even though […]

Well, a new year means a new conference circuit. Here is my current travel lineup:
February 9-11: Rochester, presenting a workshop to the Rochester arm of the American Marketing Assocation, focussing on using blogs to create positive experiences with customers, as well as on the nature of brands. I have about a day free for meetings, […]

Welcome, Mr. Harper

Well, as predicted, the Conservative Party was elected as Canada’s new federal party. Quite a wild ride last night watching the coverage. They pulled off a narrow minority government. So narrow that if 2 of the other parties wanted to, they could apparently topple the government.
But, considering one of those is the Liberals, who the […]

Car Accident

Just got back from a car accident. I’m not sure if it’s totalled or not (never can tell with new cars). But there were two impact points that collapsed the driver’s side of the car. One half a foot from my head. One half a point from my feet.
I’m very happy to even be alive […]

Voting Day

I said before I was voting Conservative, and today on election day I haven’t changed my mind. Everything I’ve seen since then (particularly the Liberal attack ads) has strengthened my decision to not vote Liberal.
At the same time, I’ve seen some good things from Layton. I think I’ll be watching the NDP more closely next […]
