James Enck sell side analyst supremo when it comes to all things Telco in the EU and UK with his EuroTelcoblog gets pissy and rightfully so. I think I blogged this on Friday about Google.

The New York Times > Technology > Free Speech, or Secrets From Apple? This is why I’m a card carrying member of the Society of Professional Journalists and the Online Media Association.

I want to thank all of you who have taken the time to be of support via your comments. The Gateway LCD monitor situation got resolved on Monday, via the intervention of a Gateway VP of Client services and their Director of Call Centers. Seems about everything that could go wrong, did go wrong in … Read more
Is anyone else having issues with TypePad? Over the past two weeks I have tried to do some long posts or tried to edit posts originatng via AudioBlog but Typepad is being naughty. This is likely a result of the so called Typepad upgrade to a new release and that’s why I think I’ve had … Read more
It’s one of those days. I got back late Tuesday from San Francisco, have been drinking lots of wine since last Sunday with dinners I’ve organized. Call the wounds self inflicted. I’m also catching up on work, business and personal life beyond the blog. Mostly I’ve been getting my house in order. I hate clutter … Read more
