Moving to Toronto

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned in passing that we’d decided to move to Toronto. There were a few reasons for this, but by far the largest was b5media. While the VCs were very happy about the idea, they didn’t really push for it. From a business perspective, there were a few big reasons […]

Interesting Presentation This Morning (Or Will Apple, Google and Dell Die?)

I did an interesting presentation this morning. I went into it knowing it would be interesting, though, and it ended up largely as expected.
The overall topics was on the value of communities. I opened it with some thoughts on the types of mistakes companies who don’t use communities at all make. These were characterized as […]

House Secured

We put in an offer on a house (lease) this weekend. Just got news that we got it! Official move-in date is Nov 15, though it’s likely we won’t really move until like the 24th or something :-D

Romania Again

I was in Romania once this year and absolutely freaking loved it. It was hard in a lot of ways, but absolutely amazing in even more.
I’m heading back now (en route as we speak), speaking at a massive business conference. Can’t wait to see everyone again :-D

Ensight Has Moved

Just a note that Ensight has moved to b5’s servers. Only glitch seems to be that I forgot to move the .htaccess file, so things like post pages and such won’t work until tonight.
As a side note, we put in an offer (lease) on a house yesterday in Toronto. Fingers crossed it goes through :)

My Funding Speech

It’s not often I get to give speeches. So I was pretty saddened to find out that there weren’t like academy awards for raising funding or something. Not that b5 would necessarily deserve an award (ahem, yet), but I had one all ready and rarin’ to go.
So, lucky readers, you’ll have to hear it instead […]

Becoming a CEO Blogger

It occurred to me yesterday that I’m now a CEO blogger. It was a funny realization. Pre-funding I’d only ever thought of myself as the President. Mainly because (to me) the CEO title seemed presumptuous. Not least of which is because I was part of a kind of communal team that made decisions together.
One of […]

Shel Israel, King Among Men

Just wanted to note on this blog how tickled pink I am that Shel Israel’s doing some travelling for, among other things, b5media. Here’s a bit of info on his trip:
Shel recently set off on the first leg of his round-the-world journey (he’s doing it in 2-3 week stints, I believe), to Europe. Here’s his […]
