You Just Called and We Were Listening…

It’s funny how sometimes I discover current events based on keyword searches in my blog visitor log. This time the FBI  spyware  case drove readers to my old post, so I thought I might as well re-post it here.  Click to watch the video.

My Office 2.1 Setup

…and although laptops are crippling us, there are times we can’t live without them smile_shades

Update: I guess the pic above is my answer to Guy Kawasaki’s question.

The VC Woulda Coulda Shoulda List

It’s nice to see honest VC’s who don’t just brag about their hits but admit their misses, too.  Josh Kopelman just did it again, having turned down an investment in Right Media which got acquired by Yahoo for $680M last week.  His previous big miss was Youtube.

Of course his firm, First Round Capital hasn’t been around long enough to get anywhere close to Bessemer Venture Capital’s Anti-Portfolio:  the list of big misses includes Apple Computer, eBay, FedEx, Google, Intel, Intuit, Lotus, Paypal … just to name a few.  Bessemer Chief Blogger David Cowan writes about it in several posts.

After all, as we all know, VC’s are in the lottery business smile_zipit

House-cleaning on Technorati

My old blog was accessible both at zoliblog.com and zoliblog.com/blog.  Apparently there was no way to tell Technorati these two were the same, so it tracked both with different link-count.   I’m going to delete the claim for the /blog subdomain, and if you have favorited my blog at that address – well, first of all, thank you, and second, please favorite it here, using the correct address.

Thank you!
