Boston Globe: "Why Facebook went West"
In: RANTING
9 Sep 2007In today’s Boston Globe, there is an article discussing why Facebook went to the Valley instead of staying in the Boston area (article online).
Having now lived in both areas for nearly equal amounts of time, I can tell you that there are substantial differences between them. People from Boston may violently disagree, but I have found [...]
T-Mobile USA: Your upgrades suck
In: RANTING
12 Nov 2006Dear T-Mobile USA:
I have been a dedicated customer of yours since 2004. I have become an advocate for GSM services, and think that my brethern who continue to use CDMA services are not looking to the future, and don’t see the world coming at them.
That said, as a customer who likes gadgets and all the [...]
Number One, Almost Done
In: Notebook Lust
22 Aug 2006After more than a year, my first Moleskine notebook is nearly done.
A year!?!
Yes, a year. All that I have been using it for is work notes, jotting down the facts that make my customers and colleagues get up every morning.
Its replacement is in my bag, still wrapped in its cellophane, calling me; tempting me.

Fight The Bull: My god it smells in here!
In: RANTING
21 Apr 2006Usually I classify this sort of mail as complete nonsense, and delet it. But this one was such a classic, I had to post it.
The letter is from the new CEO of the joint Borland/Segue. He is announcing that he thinks that Segue and Borland customers will be able to find cool ways to use [...]

Bay Area Next Week
In: Life
15 Mar 2006Looks like I will be in the Bay Area next week (Mar 20-23). I am giving a full day training on Thursday, and meeting with customers between San Francisco and San Jose before then.
It will be good to get back to the old stomping grounds for a few days.
Most likely I will be arriving Monday, [...]
Google Analytics — HUMILIATION!
In: Blogging| RANTING| Technology| Web Performance
14 Nov 2005Google, if you are going to launch a Web service, better make sure it’s up and available for your customers so that they can evangelize it.
It may be good…when I can get to it.
Jeff Nolan and TypePad
In: Blogging
28 Oct 2005Jeff Nolan adds his voice to the TypePad rumblings. [here]
Take away quote:
Some very experienced IT professionals are chiming in that they understand how difficult it is to run a datacenter (something I myself have not done I would add) and I am sure the empathy is well meaning. However, there are ample examples of large [...]
Blog Herald Slams TypePad
28 Oct 2005Wow. It’s not often you read something like this.
Oh yeah, it’s the blogosphere.
Take away quote:
The question then is: if you ran out of space and were having problems, why did you continue to take on new customers during this period? Surely a responsible business with serious capacity issues would have closed their doors to new [...]
Gutter Helmet: An Update
In: Gutter Helmet
19 Oct 2005The update on my Gutter Helmet posts (1 and 2) is that there is no update.
We received a phone call from a local Gutter Helmet rep about 2 weeks ago. He spoke to Samantha who, outlined some of our concerns and issues. I then called and left him a message last week, re-iterating these same [...]
