Wow it’s been three months since surgery. Heading to the doctor to check in.
Trying to figure out exactly how hungry I need to be before I leave the office and head out into the freezing weather to find food.

Caught these guys opening for Bowerbirds last night at Union Hall and they stole the show in my opinion. Kind of sound like Vampire Weekend but I think they are better.

SXSW Prediction - Tumblr is this years Twitter
Last year SXSW was Twitter’s coming out party. It was the tech equivalent of the Beatles playing the Ed Sullivan show for an audience of screaming girls and the rest of the country quickly taking notice. This year you can feel the momentum behind Tumblr. Granted Twitter’s instant status messaging capabilities are perfectly designed for a conference setting so the utility of Tumblr...

Tomorrow and Wednesday I will be attending the Patenting Business Methods for Internet Based Commerce Conference (or PBMFIBC Conference for short).

Ultimately we walked away without a patent when...

The scene in Vegas has gone far beyond ridiculous. I am curious how the city is going to re-invent itself as we head for a recession and not every casino/club/restaurant can market to the high end.
I miss the old Vegas.
Facepunchers
I am having a lot of fun with Ning building a social network around boxing. Facepunchers was originally started in the fall but my trip to Asia and then jaw surgery kind of derailed things. Over the last few days I’ve managed to find some time for the project and now it’s taking over my brain. Now that the site is up and running and looks decent the next step is to actually...

Following Stats
I am now following 20 people on Tumblr. Only one of them I know personally. I would be curious to know how this compares with other Tumblrs (is that even the right word?).

My all time favorite Modest Mouse song.
The new Zimbra release is garbage. None of the options seem to work and it runs really slow. Frustrated.
