I know I do, and I’ve played guitar in numerous bands for the past 20+ years, I have a recording studio in my house, an angel investment in an indie record label (About Records) as well as my own boutique label (Toothless Monkey Music), and my band Soul Patch (which includes my partner Jason Mendelson…
I was reading Chris Fralic’s post about LinkedIn vs. Facebook, when he talked about his first Facebook birthday, which he described as a personal “aha” moment with the service after his recent birthday. I had this same same exact “aha” experience on my birthday several weeks (October 29th for those of you keeping score) when…

From Slashdot: AT&T is decommissioning their pay phones. Video killed the radio star, p2p, Skype, and now this? Probably a somewhat overdue capitulation on AT&T’s part given the ubiquity of the mobile phone. I commented in a previous blog post about encountering a decommissioned pay phone — clearly they are on their way to becoming…
There’s a tall smokestack near my house in Boulder that is part of the Boulder Community Hospital’s Mapleton Center. Though it is a bit of an eyesore, happily I’ve never seen smoke coming from it, so I assume it isn’t actually in use. I walked by it the other day and took a few shots…

If anyone reading knows anyone associated with TinyURL, feel free to comment on my idle speculation… Update: well, I just went to the TinyURL site (to make…
Just a quick tout for one of my companies: Akustica. Today they announced they’ve shipped their two millionth microphone. It took fifteen months from shipping their very first production microphone to reach the one million mark, and a scant three months to reach the second million. Congrats to Akustica on their very steep (and getting…
One of the benefits of living in an historic neighborhood (no, the anti-property rights Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board is not one of them) is the mature trees that line the streets. I took a quick snapshot this morning of the beautiful autumn colors on the block between 4th and 5th on Pine Street. Technorati Tags:…
I am a glass is half-full kind of guy (which can come in handy as an early-stage venture investor). So while I was not excited to be at Denver International Airport at 7am this morning, at least I got to see this great sunrise. Technorati Tags: DIA, Denver, Sunrise
Hooray for Sonos for listening to their customer feedback. Today, they released version 2.5 of their system software, adding the most useful feature yet: search. Sonos also added access to Napster, but as a subscriber to Rhapsody and Pandora, I’m less interested in access to yet another online service at this point, though I definitely…
