Al Gore’s Personal Energy Use Is His Own “Inconvenient Truth”
What’s really annoying about these sensationalized news bites is that they’re just that – sensationalized. It talks about energy totals, but there’s no mention about the more important factor – energy source. If even 10kWh is from [...]
So, how were your Christmas and New Year’s celebrations? Did you get anything and everything you were hoping for? For this year’s winter vacation I decided to get some quiet fresh air in Central Oregon. Santa did not disappoint, even in this remote part of the U.S.

I’ve been doing a lot of errand runs to Akihabara lately for two clients, and after a few consecutive trips I’ve noticed two interesting trends in the hard-disk market.

A lunch conversation today regarding Apple and Sony eventually revealed the name of a one James Higa, currently Jobs’ behind-the-scenes right-hand man and long-time SV executive; a Google search reveals early days with Apple, then on to NEXTSTEP, a few years at RealNetworks, and now currently back helping Steve.
