I’ve been using Twitter for a week now. Here’s my account. I held off on joining it for so long because I thought it was the same as IM. It has the same interface (short text messages), but is completely different. The API opens up a lot of possibilities. Plus it’s a free SMS gateway. I have a lot of ideas. Facebook’s status feature is similar, but the messaging feature is...
Wave by wave, technology has brought us amazing advancements. Problem is, they don’t replace each other, they are cumulative. People still have records, 8-tracks, tapes, CDs, minidiscs*, 8mm reels, VHS tapes, DVDs… All are recently or long obsolete, but still technically operational, and therefore used. The same happens with communication, particularly recently. Not only do previous...
Since Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, everything you are viewing is merely reflects a moment in time. You can come back a day later and it’ll be different. While I was doing some searching for the previous blog post, I came across this little gem for the wikipedia entry on Intrapreneurship. Click here to see it, kinda NSFW.

I’m sitting here tonight on the brink of launching. The problem is, I’ve been like this for months. Any geek with a few hours free and a web host (I have 3+) can throw together a web application.

When America welcomes Israel and Palestine as the 51st and 52nd states of the union, the age-old dream of peace and prosperity in the land of milk and honey will have been achieved.
Wait… what?
Based on the trailer, 21, the movie based on MIT’s blackjack team captured in the book Bringing Down the House, looks like it’ll be pretty good. Trailer below.
One of my friends pointed out to me that a search for dc metro times on Google shows my lil’ web app in third place. Nice!
Peter of iStrategyLabs recommended that I get it it’s own domain name, no more piggybacking off skeevisarts.com (which I redesigned by the way, check it out!!) and see what I can build out of it.
I had been planning on writing my thoughts on this for a while, but spurred on by the announcement of a local tech incubator launching in the coming months, I felt it was time to write something. Tech entrepreneurs, who dedicate so much of their lives to connecting people regardless of geographic location, still rely on real-world networking and face to face interaction. Online companies still...
