USATODAY.com - Inspector Adnan Kadhum of the Baghdad traffic police says he noticed the change about 10 days ago: The city's notoriously unruly drivers suddenly started obeying his commands. They stopped when he signaled for them to stop; they went when he signaled for them to go.

wrff_scoot.jpg imageIs it too much to ask that every minor scooter or bike design tweak not be a revolution of X-temeosity? And is it possible, while we're asking, to never ever entertain the notion that anyone on the planet will buy an extreme scooter because Snoop Dawg is rapping about it? I mean, if you need street cred for a $180 scooter, don't hire the Doggie Dog. Snoop will rap about low-interest mortgages if you pay him to.

So yeah, apparently the defining feature of these new WRFF scooters is that they have an a totally hip tubular advertising budget and are "built for wicked tricks." Hold me back. (Thanks, Jeff!)

The first sign was the $13 million investment in Friendster, a company with millions of eyeballs but no visible business model or profits, led by my old investors Kleiner Perkins and Benchmark. Then came the hype and frenzy over the Google IPO, which is reportedly going to value Google at something like $36 billion. Then I read earlier this week about all the cash trying to get into VC funds, at the same time that research shows: The optimal fund size, Professor Kedrosky and others say, is a $250 million fund managed by four partners. "There's 25 years of data that shows that funds roughly this size give the best returns, but it's like everyone went temporarily nuts for a while," he said. The smaller the fund, Professor Kedrosky said, the more a firm's partners can focus on individual companies, which often rely on venture capitalists as much for advice and help as for cash infusions..... Sequoia... ended up saying yes to only 82 of the 400-plus institutional investors who sought to give it money this time, turning away around $2.5 billion in potential investments, according to Mr. Romanello of Thomson It certainly seems like there is a lot of money chasing a lot fewer good ideas. Not a good sign. Plus, the Bay Area housing market has gone insane, and traffic is starting to get bad again. There are lots of signs that we are headed towards another period of irrational exuberance. I just hope the slope up is flatter, so that the slope down will be as well. I also wonder what, if anything, the Valley learned from the bust?...

VCs Finally Coming Back


VCs Finally Coming Back 09/17/2004 08:13 PM
It looks like VCs are finally getting more comfortable investing again. While it's not entirely clear if the IPO market really is back, it certainly looks like VCs feel pretty good about the potential to cash out sometime in the near future, by IPO or by acquisition. Also, contrary to the study earlier this week, the article claims that early stage companies are getting a lot more cash. This is a good thing. While plenty of bad investments get made (and companies often start to confuse VC investment with revenue), having more capital flowing generally leads to more innovation.

Want more evidence that some sort of internet bubble is on the way back? During the boom years, you couldn't open a business/techie magazine without reading an article about some teenager running a company that was valued at millions of dollars for no clear reason. Now, here's a new article talking about the 19-year-old CEO of a UK ISP. Not to knock the guy, who seems to be very smart and is probably doing a great job, but the article seems to focus on the fact that he topped a list from the Royal Bank of Scotland about who would be rich... in 2020.

Tech IPOs Slowly Coming Back


Tech IPOs Slowly Coming Back 11/11/2003 11:37 AM
We've been joking recently about all the parallels between what's happening today and what happened early on in the bubble years, to point out that we're heading right back into where things left off. Of course, there are some major differences. While tech companies are (slowly, slowly) starting to go public again, this time it looks like their financials are a lot more sound. We're not seeing the same sort of wildly speculative IPOs where companies who are nowhere near making a profit are cashing in for millions in IPO money (which often seems to make them forget that a company actually needs to make money from customers, and not just from Wall Street). Of course, many people would add a big "yet" to that statement. Right now, most of the companies going public are profitable (or close to it), but if things heat up again, it wouldn't be surprising to see VCs push out a few more wildly speculative IPOs.

I totally agree with Om - Yahoo is
coming back - strong
03/28/2005 08:45 AM

OK - from my own experiences and POV I can say this:

- Media RSS is the leadership we need in media, subscribing and the web. That's what podcasting needs. We're gonna support it in ourmedia.org and we hope others will too.

- Russell Beattie has been helping out in an organization now called Mobile Monday. He brings clear leadership in mobile to Yahoo - just by his sheer presence.

- Jeremy Zawodny is one of those bloggers who groks it all, has a great day job and smirks his way all the way to the A-list. The best part is that he's got a viewpoint that Yahoo is starting to listen to.

- Then came a Terry Semel quote: "sure we'll make a lot of money off of Hollywood, but we'll make more money off of end-users content."

So I'm digging more on Yahoo every day. I've been using MyYahoo since the 2nd month it was available. We'll always make sure that Yahoo data will flow through OUR Digital Lifdestyle Aggregators (DLAs) - as long as they allow the data to flow. It would be nice to have APIs to ALL the stuff - BTW dudes......

And just the notion of Stewart, Caterina and Ben roaming the hallways of Yahoo brings a smile to my lips like an acid trip multi-player rave insider's game meets astro-boy right next door to Lockheed kind of scene.

So right on t o Om - once again - he's rocking the house and telling it like it is......


Satellites Coming Back For Another Shot

Satellites Coming Back For Another Shot
At Internet Access?
01/06/2005 06:52 AM
It looks like some people are starting to think that satellite broadband can be a viable player in the wireless broadband arena. A company that currently makes satellite receivers for trains and cars mainly focused on beaming TV to mobile vehicles, is looking to offer satellite based internet access to cars. They promise speeds of "up to 2 Mbps with upload speeds of 128 Kbps." Of course, this is just an empty promise right now. It should set off alarm bells whenever a wireless company uses the phrase "up to" in the description of their speeds. That means reality will be much, much slower. The "up to" means under absolutely perfect conditions that simply don't exist outside of the laboratory with more than one user. And, while they talk about throughput there's absolutely no mention of latency -- which has always been the big stumbling block for satellite internet services. High latency, even on a faster connection will make the overall experience seem much slower. Of course, there could be some applications for which this is useful (specifically, ones where latency isn't as big of an issue), but it has a long way to go before it's actually competitive with other mobile broadband solutions.

no dell Apologies for my unannounced silence since last Saturday. The power supply on my Dell failed, draining the battery so I couldn't even back up my files to another computer. I just got it back now. More on this spectacular failure next week. This week has given me the chance to work on my novel, The Only Life We Know, and my book Natural Enterprise, as well as a chance to catch my breath and think about (a) what to blog about next, and (b) what to do with myself once the three books are finished.

Here are some of the things I'm planning on blogging about in the next few weeks. If there's anything else you'd like me to write about, let me know.
  • The Consequences of Failure: What Eco-Collapse Will Look Like (coming up later today)
  • Book Review - The Wisdom of Crowds
  • Why We Should Set Higher Standards for Everything
  • How to Save the World Reading List - Updated and Annotated
  • Book Review - Bird by Bird
  • Self-Selecting Communities: How We Might Build Some
  • Are There Any Large Innovative Companies Left?
  • How Can We Reconnect Children to Nature?
  • Natural Enterprise Chapter 7: Organic Financing
  • My Favourite Canadian Francophone Blogs / Mes Blogs Canadiens-Francais Favoris
  • Critical Thinking: More Than Just Adjusting for Spin
  • The Story-Maker as Cultural Anthropologist
Lots of thought-provoking stuff, so stick around.

Distance Doctoring, Distance Nursing And
Distance Learning... All Coming Back


Distance Doctoring, Distance Nursing And
Distance Learning... All Coming Back
05/12/2004 03:58 AM
The internet makes it easier to communicate with people over large distances, and for years we've been hearing about the power of "distance" everything. More recently, some of that talk had died down after the early promises of distance learning/doctoring/whatever failed to live up to its early hype. However, it appears that the distance concept is coming back into fashion. One after the other, we just came across three such stories. First, is the news of a hospital in Michigan that is using a robot with a video screen for a head to let remote doctors talk to and examine patients. The doctor's can control the robot from another location (such as home) in order to look over a patient without being there in person. Of course, the idea isn't to replace the need for the doctor to be present, but to make it easier in situations when the doctor is away and is needed quickly (such as to look over something in the middle of the night when they're home). Meanwhile, over in the Netherlands, it's not the doctors who get to stay home, but the patients, who can now use a webc am system to communicate with nurses. The idea is to help out the elderly who are confined to their homes but can't afford to have a healthcare worker visiting them on a regular basis. Meanwhile, outside of the healthcare field it appears that even e-learning is making a comeback, as companies are using it more strategically, to help keep employees up-to-date and trained - but not relying on it as a full replacement for training programs. No matter what, it looks like another bunch of concepts discredited during the boom and bust years are now making a comeback.
