| 1. |  | Getting out of town for new years  - Captured: 4-1-2005 18:46:19
Pam and I took a trip to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island for New Years. While
a bit cold, we had a nice time; a good dinner, time in a Jacuzzi, breakfast served
at our room (at the Tucker House), buying some artwork and seeing the island. We also
found a book that is perfect for our trips: a directory of weekend trips detailing
what to see when, where to eat and place to sleep.
On the 2nd, we had Misha, Rachael and Ben over for a salmon dinner. I used...

Whether you're a business or technical decision maker, it's important to think about what's important to your organization when making a software decision. For most companies, software is an enabler of business. That is to say, your company is probably not in the business of making/developing software, but rather using software to run your business. Since I'm most familiar with the Portal space, my remarks are specific to Portal software. Nevertheless, many of the same suggestions and concepts a...

Seriously, Windows needs to get worse to become better. I've
written about how Office has too much stuff. I now believe, for the average user,
Windows has the same problem.
This conclusion results from a discussion after watching a recording of brands in
the public space by Friedrich
von Borries (Author of "Who
is Afraid of Niketown" and creator of Urban-Diary)
given in mid December in Zurich at the ETH. I liked the ideas of activating the public
spa...

| 4. | | CES 2005 Video is Online - Captured: 20-1-2005 23:12:29
Apparently the CES
2005 video is (finally) online. Watching the show made a couple of thing crystal
clear:
1.) BillG and humor
Formerly I imagined Bill to be the kind of person who could say funny things
about his work, the kind of person who doesn't take himself too seriously in public
and who could answer to a humorous comment equally amusingly. I kind of missed that. If
something breaks on stage (And, thanks to Murphy, thats quite often) it's...

I
just finished watching Eric Rudder’s keynote on Indigo at VS Live in
San Francisco
. As with all keynotes, it had glitz and glamour and gave a high-level view of what
Microsoft is thinking.
(for those who don’t know, Eric
is the Microsoft VP in charge of developer-related stuff including Indigo)
Among the various things discussed
was the migration roadmap from today’s commun...

| 8. | | Girls Night Out - Captured: 29-1-2005 9:24:52
Girl’s night out last night. I
went out with my friends Sue and Denise. I
was DD. We
went to O’Donovan’s Pub in
Minneapolis
. This is where we go to watch rugby. When
there is no rugby, we drink. Guiness. No
cute guys were around for the single chicks in the group to flirt with. For
some reason, someone threw a quarter at us as we were getting up to leave the table. Freaks.&...
