My New Laptop

Okay, finally got past the issues in my previous post. How? By buying from another seller. Cost me an extra 75$ but ah well, at least the laptop’s on the way!
So, what’d I get?
This puppy.
Here’s the Sony page on it.
As always, here’s some logic behidn what I was looking for.
First, I wanted a computer with […]

Take My Money!!!

GARRRRRH!!
Warning, useless rant ahead, who’s only purpose is to vent.
So, I find the perfect laptop on Ebay. It only ships to the US. I’m fine with that, and fairly used to it. I change my Ebay address to my US address and click Buy It Now. The seller has blocked payments from non-US registered PayPal […]

Back of the Napkin Business Plan Contest

Sean has a great little article in the Globe & Mail about back of the napkin business plans.
ick Segal, a Partner at J.L. Albright Venture Partners, states that “Having a great diagram allows the Entrepreneur to have one ‘cheat sheet’ that let’s her tell the story with a compelling visual.” Segal’s statement was proven at […]

Fox Acquiring YouTube?

No inside knowledge here. Just hearing rumblings. A few disconnected things, really. Not sure I want to get into it (since I’m supposed to be offline), but there are a half dozen things I could point to as evidence of, if nothing else, YouTube thinking of selling.
I’ll let this sit for a week, maybe have […]

Shining Waters Inn, Cavendish, PEI

I’m taking a weekend off in beautiful PEI. Specifically Cavendish, staying at the Shining Waters Inn.
For a variety of reasons, this was about the only chance I had to take some time off for the next 3 months or so, so I jumped at the chance. I still have to do a couple of hours […]

Paying Diggers

I didn’t really want to jump into the whole “is it okay to pay social news editors” debate, but I’ve been getting so emails I thought it’d be easier to post a few brief thoughts than answering each person individually. Not that I don’t want to talk to people, but a body only has so […]

FireFox Copying IE

More than a year ago now, I was talking about how killer IE7’s tab implementation would be. While the internal tab manager I’d seen isn’t the same as the one that made it’s way to the public eye, many of the key features are still there.
So it’s kind of funny to see the new FireFox […]

Beta Testers Wanted: b5media v2

We’re looking for about 20 beta testers to play around with the v2 of our new design/platform. It’s not quite ready yet, so initial feedback will mainly be high level, but we’re hoping to finalize it over the next 2 weeks.

/me Kicks Rocketboom

Garrrh!!!
I was never much of a fan of Rocketboom before last week’s fiasco. But I really, really wanted them to succeed in spite of it. To show those old media farts how it’s done (or something).
But 72 hours of launch announcements? More than 45 hours late?
I mean, c’mon, how long does it take to […]
