Frank’s Wild Years

I was having a very interesting conversation with my friend JeanAnn- one of those where we both had more things to say than could come out in normal conversation… like fast ping-pong, watching those Chinese guys go crazy, hardly even using the table at all.

Selfish Act: Blogging

A couple of years ago I impulsively blurted out the fact that Blogging is an inherently selfish act. This occured about 2 feet in front of James Keller, who at the time was working at YRG. This elicited a shrug and perhaps a bit of a sneer, because this of course could have been construed as [...]

Open Source Money?
