Nix Bits

So I’ve been travelling two out of the last three weeks. I spent last week in Vegas for EMCWorld. Which I’ll detail later. I’ve had no time to really keep up with blogs or anything like that and finally skimmed my way through the morass today. During that time, Greg Peters has delivered […]

Albuquerque is dry. The weather has been nice, but I guess I’m a sucker for that old humidity. I miss my wife. I miss my dogs. I miss my house.
I don’t mind the occassional work travel, but this trip just wasn’t as productive as I’d have liked.

Snarky. yes.

Seems those crime cameras aren’t so effective. But at least they make people “feel secure.” Now if they could just figure out how to get them to generate revenue….

So Ms. Skenazy let her kid take an independent ride on the Subway and lots of parents are just up in arms at the idea. I seem to remember having a lot more latitude than kids have today. Now, I’m not a parent, but it seems like today more and more parents just want […]

No Monday can take a great French Quarter Fest weekend away. It’s a classic only-in-New-Orleans feeling that is Monday morning kryptonite. This may be heresy, but I prefer FQF to Jazz Fest these days. It’s all local music that you can here for free. It’s spread throughout the Quarter. And it […]
