Just thought I’d mention that the KG Finals shoes are only $1017.00. Yeah, I’ll take just 2 or 3. NOT! This is just a silly, stupid thing! I hope nobody buys any and they find something better to do with their money and time. Like I said, silly and stupid, it is. Kevin Garnett 2008 [...]

best slippery slope ever “Why shouldn’t I work for the N.S.A.? That’s a tough one, but I’ll take a shot. Say I’m working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I’m real happy with myself, [...]

I have been following a lot of information for several years now. I do that with blogs, with RSS feeds, with alerts, with email newsletters, with a few hard copy magazine subscriptions, with some journals, and also a lot with listening in whatever way possible.

What’d I say? UPDATE: It took from October 28th until November 11th for MySpace to finally delete my account. This was/is status quo for them. I often made changes or tried to use their built in features that simply did not work, or they took many days for the changes to take place, often over-writing [...]

Robert Scoble is taking a break from blogging. This is not a surprise. Anyone who blogs a lot has this stage hit them about once a year. They realize life is more important than just what they happen to spend a lot of time doing. They also realize that changing where they spend time affects [...]

Hey Robert~ I just left a comment on one of your recent posts. I also recently took a break from blogging and reading blogs. Upon my return, it’s no surprise that of all the blogs I ready, yours had the most posts. However, I’m sick of hearing about Twitter and Facebook. I think you’re more [...]

I recently took a break from blogging (both writing and reading). To put this into perspective, I follow about 160 blogs. About half of those are very much work related. I was probably spending about an hour per day reading and maybe another hour per day writing my own blog posts or responding to others. (If anyone is [...]
