Pain at the pump isn't really enough punishment for SUV drivers... don't they care that their selfish choice is literally killing people?
Another Spare the Air Day in the Bay Area <cough> asthma really bad lately. All those SUVs literally make me sick and even kill some people.
OK, I've been working on the Grabbit investor presentation for way too long... must sleep.... when the bough breaks the cradle will fall...
Still bummed that I couldn't use my Rackspace account for k.im because they don't think a 3-letter domain is valid...using a different host.
Tried to set up k.im on the Rackspace Cloud account we have, but Rackspace tells me k.im is not a valid domain... too short! Ha!
Nepotism begins at home!
Working on k.im, the shorter URL-shortener... keeping it in the family -- have my brother-in-law working on it ;-) should be running soon!
When I saw Threadsy at TC50 the difference between Inbound and Unbound made sense, but when I used the product it threw me for a sec at 1st.
Threadsy is good at bringing in your messages, but it's not a social network or community itself, like Twitter, Friendfeed, or Grabbit.
When I saw Threadsy at TC50 I thought it was a competitor to Grabbit. Now that I've played with it, I see it's more like a big super inbox.
Fredsy plays with Threadsy... hurts my headsy!
@Scobleizer SUL's are the SUV's of social networks...very bad for the environment!
This guy's the limit!
Disguise the limit!
Tweet and Retweet were sitting on a fence. Tweet fell off. Who was left?
@Scobleizer Sequoia Hospital is where Lisa's daughter was born! Congrats!
One thing I learned covering tech for 30 years, no-one remembers when your product was launched, but they sure do remember how good it was!
Deciding NOT to demo at #TC50 was smart - we've see the competition, but they haven't seen us... plus better to be a solo story than 1/50th.
Shhesh, somehow took me a day to recover from TechCrunch 50 #TC50... maybe that's because I worked all through the weekend before it, too!
Well, looks like Friday the 13th falls on a Sunday this month...
I think people are freaking out way too much about the SF thunderstorms... even if it was a fated date, I love god's bowling alley! Kaboom!
RT @jenville "Making popovers for the first time. So far, so good." Mmmmm... yummy! Used to make them almost every morning back in Maine.
Hey, we got Robert Scoble to join the Grabbit Advisory Board... yay! Also have Roger Black, world-famous print and web design guru! 2x yay!
Feel bad for Steve, looks like he's really hurting... glad he made a showing, tho. Poor guy! We're the same age,known him for over 30 years
I was just thinking that if Steve really does make an appearance tomorrow, maybe he'll spring for the "affordable" Beatle, Ringo?
