Yesterday, Jason Calacanis1, posted about how to save money running a startup. Techcrunch took one part of Jason’s post and it and blew it way out of proportion, and Jason wrote a second post to continue the conversation. I weighed in on Jason’s blog about this, but I wanted to elaborate a [...]

Check out this interview with Bug Labs at CES. This has to be the most amazing thing I’ve seen in a long time.

Imagine…once they have an audio module, you could have a programmable, mobile podcasting plaform. Take that to the next step with video and GPS, and you can be posting geocoded data. Add [...]

My wife and I were reviewing our Poop Management Plan this morning while staring out at the backyard.
