It has been a long time since I posted here and for a while I have had a vague sense of guilt about it. Frankly, I do not really know why. I don’t have that many people that read my blog. I think I must feel guilty because I do think that I have something … Continue reading

Goodbye Geocities and thanks for everything
Goodbye Geocities! Yahoo has just announced that it is shutting down Geocities. I wanted to say goodbye. We (Intel Capital) made an early investment in Geocities (maybe 1997). I remember the meeting where I first learned about it. One of the people in my organization invited me to a meeting to discuss Geocities with the … Continue reading

Digital Equipment Movie about the Professional Computer Series, 1983

Maybe the economic crises will save the world
As I have often said, “Cancer saved my life”. When I was 51 years old, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Several months later I was treated with radiation therapy. It has now been almost 12 years and I seem to be fine. Many would say I was cured. But back in 1996 when I … Continue reading
Not about politics but about good versus evil
Chris Nolan who is the editor and founder of Spot On (www.spot-on.com). Interviewed me the recent presidential election and why I was such a strong supporter of Obama when I had been suggesting ten years earlier that the Internet was going to make Goverment and Politics less relivant. You can read her post here. But … Continue reading
