Making a filter pass...
Spent today exactly as it should be spent; this morning attended a retirement party for an old friend whom I hired 15 years ago, saw a lot of other old friends, then had lunch with my kids by the lake, and then sailing (!) with Meg, and then a little ride, and a nice dinner, and ... blogging!
BTW that picture is me, in the same boat, racing in 1984 on Huntington Lake, back when I was fast :)
Awesome! - Big Tujunga Canyon. One of the great things about living where I live - northwest of L.A. - is that there are so many great places to go so close. And this is one of them... ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
WSJ: Interesting interview with Reid Hoffman, friend, ex-colleague at PayPal, and founder of LinkedIn, on the state of social media. He has stayed on the leading edge of this wave for a long time. ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
So Google have abandoned Google Health - no big surprise, really. Personal EHR is going to be a huge business, but Google were not well positioned to take advantage; it is a service-intensive product, and Google don't do service. I think Microsoft will run into the same problem though they've had more traction with their HealthVault product.

This is awesome! Stevie Ray Vaughan in Denmark, in 1988, playing Voodoo Chile... [ thanks, LGF ] ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)

CyclingNews also have a preview. Check it out!
Here we have 11 animal wonders of evolution. And wonder-ful they are, too, wow, check 'em out. Just when you think you've seen it all, you realize "it all" is so much more than you thought... ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
Lady of the Rings: Saturn surveyor Carolyn Porco. Interesting, what's next for Cassini? #1 is the hydrocarbon lakes on Titan! ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
Who ordered that? Google+, a competitor to Facebook. Seems like they're *way* too late, the network effect is already too powerful. What would motivate anyone to use it? Sigh. ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
Apropos: why MySpace lost to Facebook (from Sean Parker no less). Bottom line, they stopped innovating. ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
