It’s amazing looking at statistics on various URL shortening services. We bloggers have always realized that there was a rough 80/20 (90/10?) ratio between those who comment and those who read, but services like tr.im really put it into perspective. Example: The other night I was tweeting about random old 4chan memes (Rich Raven, Courage [...]
I saw Duncan Moore at a café the other day. We chatted about bootstrapping and some new projects. He looked excited, and I offered up a great presentation on the subject I had seen by one of the 37signals guys*. Later he left, and sent this out to his Twitter stream, below. Here’s the great [...]

Having just spent a month in Japan and a week in New York, I was pretty surprised to see these Bixi bikes right by my breakfast place this morning. I had seen them in Paris but never used them, so I figured what the hell. You may never have seen something like this before, so [...]
So I was in Japan for a month. In a Zen temple, doing a lot of sitting meditation, and meeting a lot of people. My first real break from the internet, except for occasional email, in the past 10 years. The world didn’t collapse. It’s hard to discuss “what I got out of it” in [...]
