A few years ago, for Startupping, I asked several entrepreneurs about their best and worst decisions. With the shuttering of that site, their answers vanished from the web. I’ll be reposting them here. This was originally posted on February 22, 2007: Mark Moore is CEO and co-founder of One True Media, where he is responsible [...]

My cats in the New York Times
Posted in Uncategorized on October 4, 2008 | Comments Off
Well, not really, but I am quoted in this article on straight, single men who own cats. It’s a silly piece, which the author Abby Ellin fully admitted when we talked. And actually, I think I laughed through the entire interview, which I’m sure didn’t make me a good interview subject. Having never, you know, [...]

A friend, seeing my panorama pictures yesterday, said I could have done a much better job using Photoshop CS3. He offered to redo one of my panoramas to show me how much better Photoshop was at blending the exposures of the individual images. I have to agree, it definitely looks better. The resulting picture doesn’t [...]

Reaction to Stealth Start-Ups Suck

Greetings from Tokyo. The response to Stealth Start-Ups Suck has been fantastic so far, both pro and con. Thanks to everyone who’s been commenting on it. You can track people talking about it through this link for Bloglines citations. I didn’t mean to specifically pick on 24 Hour Laundry and I didn’t realize others had [...]
What I Want For My Birthday
Posted in Uncategorized on September 8, 2003 | Comments Off
My brother called and wanted to know what I wanted for my birthday. I guess it’s coming up or something. I don’t pay too much attention to that stuff. I had a few ideas: An in-ground pool that does not leak. Simple enough; we used to have one of the non-leaking variety until apparently about [...]

Yesterday I took another step in my flying career. I completed my second supervised solo. This now means that I can go practice without having my instructor around. Of course, I’m subject to many limitations, on weather and other things. But still, I’m very happy. Bloglines continues to gain momentum. I’m getting an amazing amount [...]
Pigs Fly

Today, after two months of flying lessons, and dozens upon dozens of supervised take-offs and landings, I soloed for the first time. I did 3 take-offs and landings on my own at Palo Alto, in Citabria N5054B. Below is a picture of the plane and I after the flight. Right after that picture was taken, [...]

Some bits: The Forbes article that I’m mentioned in appears in print this Friday, so I’m told. There might even be a picture of me in it, so hide the children. I’ve noticed with Bloglines that a sizeable percentage of users use a tagged email address. This is a special purpose email address, usually with [...]
