I like to have one-on-one meetings in more casual settings, and anyone who works with me has probably heard me say “let’s take a walk and get coffee” (meaning a walk to the local barista for a cappuchino). Dave and I often do walks around South Park for our meetings. In our Sunnyvale office, I’ve […]
I’ve been wanting to get out and attend more conferences lately. I’m not usually a big fan of conferences, but I’ve been feeling like I want to meet more/new people and hear different perspectives on things. So, my coworker Mike and I attended Clickz’s Video Advertising conference today. This is clearly a field that isn’t […]
You may have seen the notes from Daniel, Chad, Bradley or Jeremy, but our part of Yahoo is hiring (like crazy) and we’re looking for the best and brightest to come join our team. As you may remember, I run a group called Advanced Products at Yahoo!, and I’m lucky enough to be in the […]
Today I stumbled across the announcement of the new Palm Treo 750. Back in October, I asked our mobile team here for a Windows Mobile phone to do some testing. Their response “oh, here’s one take it”. It was a Treo 750. While I love gadgets, I hadn’t read about the 750, so I didn’t […]
Photo from flickr: HammHawk Last night the New Orleans Saints played their first home game since Hurricane Katrina in the newly remodeled Superdome. I think it is very important the world see that New Orleans is (slowly) coming alive. I went to New Orleans over the Labor Day weekend this year; friends and I had […]
I’m off to NYC for the Syndicate Conference. At December’s conference I gave a keynote, this time I’m happy to just be able to enjoy the conference as a participant. My colleagues Peggy White (GM of Y! Finance) and Chad Dickerson will be doing the speaking this time around. If you’ll be there, let me […]
It’s rare that I hear overly dilbert-esque things at work, but just a few minutes ago, I walked by two people who were staring at a desktop PC’s tower which was laying sidewise on a desk and seemed to have some sort of mud on it (really). I didn’t hear the question, but the person […]
This weekend I travelled to Las Vegas on Southwest Airlines and I noticed a very simple principle at work. If you don’t know, SWA doesn’t have assigned seating. Instead, you get a letter (A, B or C) and they board everyone with A, then everyone with B and so on. Southwest created this “competition for […]
So today I went into my WordPress control panel and discovered 11 comments (and 53 spam comments) sitting in my queue waiting for approval.  I had WP set to email me when I got comments. I got no email, so I just assumed you were all a quiet bunch. Turns out when I got upgraded […]
So, it seems as though I’ve fallen into that blogging slump. This is the point in a blogs life where you’ll see a post (just like this one) that says “sorry I haven’t posted in a while I’ve been busy”.  That post is usually followed immediately by another one 6 months later saying “I guess […]
