February 25, 2002Future of SkyscrapersSo I replaced the CinemaDisplay, and the people at MacConnection were very helpful and saved the day -- they took the bad monitor back (it wasn't just ONE bad pixel, it was 15+ bad pixels!) and the new one has none.On another note, there's an interesting article on the future of skyscrapers in the current Village Voice. The article mentions a website I hadn't heard of before: buildthetowers.org, which is advocating rebuilding skyscrapers in the WTC space.

February 02, 2002Stanford LecturesThought-provoking 1/23/2002 talk by Andy Rappaport (VC partner at August Capital) on "The Post Dot-Com Golden Age: Open and Now Serving". The VC's, he says, are now operating based on fear, instead of greed, and he believes this will mean the companies being funded now and in the near-term will be much more interesting than the companies funded in the past 5 years. I recommend watching the streaming video (Windows media player required and high bandwidth recommended).Stanford's EE380 Colloquia offer great insights from many fascinating players in the technology world. Lots of other good links on this page too.

February 01, 2002brianstorms is launchedJargon watch: "Perfect storm". New new economyspeak for what happens when a series of seemingly independent events all happen at the same time causing, well, unfortunate outcomes. The big buzzword at today's Waterside conference, in reference to the lousy 2001 book publishing year.SomaFM.com's GrooveSalad: my current favorite internet radio station. The best there is. How long it'll last, who knows. I'm enjoying it while it lasts. And for hours and hours and hours of interesting music to listen to, try the "listen" link at Musical Starstreams. Many hours of 128kbps MP3 music for your listening pleasure. A slashdot article with Larry Lessig's thoughts on copyright What do Larry Ellison, Steve Wozniak, Andy Hertzfeld, Phillipe Kahn, and Scott McNealy have in common? They're all owed money and they haven't claimed it! The things one learns on the Internet. Did you know that the State of California wants to help its residents get money owed to them? Check out the CA Controller's Office website to learn of unclaimed money.
