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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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).

Turns out when I got upgraded to WP [...]

Last week at CES all the internet big guys had something to launch. MSFT & MTV are going after the music market, Google learned how to bundle software apps together and Yahoo announced Go.
While a lot of blogger attention was paid to those Mountain View guys, I think people missed [...]

With the holidays I’m a bit behind in blogging, so this is probably the last “look back on 2005″ post out there.   When I look back at this 2005 I see a lot of great and memorable things that have happened in the world, the industry, at my company and for me.   But this post isn’t about [...]

I’m really excited about the news that Josh Schacter and his del.icio.us service are now part of the Yahoo! family.
I know that we’ve been talking for a long time about how to work together, and I’m so glad that its come to fruition.
I personally believe that harnessing the power of [...]
