Adding 20,000 more troops to the currently-run war in Iraq only means more soldiers will die and a push back the inevitable day helicopters are ferrying civilians out of the green zone as we flee the country.
Honestly, if I somehow became president of the United States overnight, I would bring more [...]

Narendra tagged me in a silly game of Blog-Tag started by Jeff Jarvis to share five things about yourself others may not know.
Here goes:

I was voted class optimist my senior year in high school. I should try and dig up the yearbook photo.
I applied to 9 colleges and was rejected or wait-listed by most, including [...]

Surprising fact. For a year I was the weather writer for SFist, a great San Francisco blog-news-zine. Since I wrote every other week I found I could never wrtie about exact weather events, but rather the trends.
After an 8 month break, I submitted another tautological-styled weather entry, this one about the state of our [...]

Last week I gave a presentation on passion-centric online communities, which are online communities like Dogster and Catster that are dedicated to a single topic or passion. There is no doubt in my mind that in a couple years there will be tens of thousands of such online communites, many of them with more than [...]

I’m going to be speaking at to speak at The Future of Web Applications Summit in San Francisco Sept. 13 & 14th.

Fleeting Image - a site a made many moons ago - was just featured in the excellent Web Zen in their The Return of Photo Zen issue. In 2002 I thought that almost everyone had little folder of fascinating images on their computer and I wanted to see them. But I didn’t want those photos [...]

The excellent SxSW Interactive Conference has made an excellent choice by putting to a vote which panel proposals for 2007 get chosen. Anyone can vote now using their nifty tool.
I submitted some proposals I’d be thrilled to put together panels on. Hopefully they’ll go as well as last year. This year I’m hoping to [...]

He he! This particular incarceration took place on the wrong side of the ferry on the mean streets of Martha’s Vineyard. Fortunately my older sister answered the phone in the [...]
