Geek Dinner Wednesday

Geek Dinner Wednesday 01/09/2004 10:11 PM
Jeremy Zawodny pinged me and said “You coming to the Valley? Let’s do a geek dinner.” Sounded like a good idea to me, so he went ahead and organized it. That would be the evening of the 14th. You gotta admire a guy who’ll not only organize dinner but hang his address & phone number out on his blog.

Help organize Joi Ito's pre-Supernova

Help organize Joi Ito's pre-Supernova
dinner in Silicon Valley 06/03/2004 01:36 PM
'Japanese Internet star' (according to the Associated Press) Joi Ito can't be at Supernova in-person this year, but he'll make his presence felt virtually. 

Joi is organizing a pre-conference dinner/party in the Santa Clara area on Wednesday, June 23. Joi is one of the most networked people on the planet, so it's going to be a blast. The dinner will be open to non-attendees as well as Supernova participants.

To register your interest, or to help plan the dinner, sign up on Joi's wiki page.

Thanks much to the 20 or so geeks who came out to The House of Orient last night for the Geek Dinner. I snapped a few pics that didn't come out terribly well. Oh, and you'll see a few folks have already pinged the original post with TrackBacks to their write-ups too. As others have noted, most folks seemed to know fewer than 4 or 5 other people there, so there were a lot of interesting discussions. Several folks...

So if this sounds like a good idea, drop me a line; remember, first.last@sun.com.

Geek dinner Thursday night at Lulu's

Geek dinner Thursday night at Lulu's 12/26/2004 06:51 PM

I read that Robert Scoble had announced a geek dinner at Cheesecake Factory for Thursday night. Hored memories of bland over priced food rushes into my mind, so I called Robert and said "Dude - come on, we can do better than that! This is San Francisco!"

So first we tried Betelnut, but settled on Lulus. This is where Joi had a dinner a while back and we (Broadband Mechanics) had a X-mas party there back in '99 - right before.....

So please join us Thursday night.

Last time there - it was a serious schmooze fest.

Thursday night Geek dinner at Chaat Cafe
- 320 3rd st. 12/27/2004 08:10 PM

And so it came to pass that the Thursday night (Dec. 30th) dinner be held at Chaat Cafe - in the shadows of Mascone - only a block away from Lulus. A virtual upheavel erupted after my absurd suggestion to have a party at Lulus.

But "no" - they complained, "it's too expensive, too hoidy toidy!" they claimed.

"But it was OK for Joi, Sifry, Kim and Howard and all these other coolio A-Listers, so why isn't it good enough for us?" I asked?

Oh well - whatever.

So $5 wraps it is.

Thursday night - 6 PM. Be there or be square.

Friday (the 12th) seems like the best day to try getting folks together, but we need to pick a place to do it. As when Tim Bray visited, I'm going to organize this little outing. But this time I need some recommendations. I'm looking for a place that: Is in the South...

Silicon Valley 100

Silicon Valley 100 02/01/2005 09:19 PM

Silicon Valley 100 is a project by Auren Hoffman. I was lucky enough to make it on the list. The idea is to make a list of "connectors" and send them new gadgets and products to test. Newsweek just did a story about this. I think it is almost like an opt-in focus group. The obvious criticism would be these companies are trying to buy "buzz". The difference between this and some buzz creation companies is 1) it's not stealth 2) they don't tell you what to say. I checked with Auren and he says that we can write whatever we want about the products. When I get a product from Silicon Valley 100, I will state this clearly in any blog post that refers to it and will say what I think. I realize that the fact that we probably get to keep most of the products makes it a bit like bribery, but if it's crap, I'm sure most people will throw it away. I would be most interested in products that are still not on the market where our feedback could be incorporated in the product design. Then our feedback could be more constructive...

Anyway, I'd be curious on people's thoughts.

The first product is a brondell high-tech toilet seat. I told Auren, that this is one product that Japan is a world leader in. I blogged this before, but we have over 50% household penetration. The one in my house and in my office even has anti-stinky gas-gate like air filtration.

UPDATE: Just uploaded a 5 min 4.3 MB conversation with Auren Hoffman, the founder of the Silicon Valley 100.

UPDATE 2: Uploaded it to archive.org too. Maybe I should put my media files there instead since archive org does the file conversions for me too...

Onshoring To Silicon Valley

Onshoring To Silicon Valley 02/16/2004 11:57 AM
Thanks to everyone (and there were a lot of you) for submitting this story from the San Jose Mercury News talking about fore ign companies "onshoring" jobs - basically, opening up an office and hiring people in Silicon Valley, because of the various benefits of the location: lots of smart people, lots of other companies for partnering and selling, and easy access to venture capital. While the numbers are small compared to offshoring, it brings up the point we've been saying for a while. Despite the naysayers, there are jobs where a physical presence in a certain location makes a lot of sense.

A story about big Silicon Valley
companies

A story about big Silicon Valley
companies 05/21/2004 07:03 AM

In 1990 we were licensing the UserLand IAC Toolkit to other developers. Our first and only licensee was Claris, an Apple subsidiary run by Bill Campbell, Yogen Dalal and John Zeisler. Their products included MacWrite, MacPaint, Hypercard, maybe Filemaker? Not sure. They were a friendly company, nice guys. I'd meet with them from time to time to talk about how apps would work when they could be connected by a scripting system. I was working on such a system, the software that would become Frontier. (When it's open sourced you'll see that the toolkit is still in there.)

Anyway, Apple decided to compete with our scripting system, and began by creating a clone of our interapplication communication toolkit. They were having a big sales meeting in Hawaii to demo the new stuff, but sadly it wasn't ready. So our friends at Claris demo'd our software, and told everyone it was Apple's.

How inconvenient it would be for our competitors to actually have to implement the software they were going to use to compete with us. Heh. Sorry for the sarcasm. That's big Silicon Valley companies for you. A smaller company might have been embarrased that they didn't come up with the idea themselves and had to use a developer's product and had to lie about it, to their own sales people. Maybe they would even be ashamed.

Reminds me of a Michael O'Donoghue song that Doc Searls posted on his blog on 2/12/03.

I'd like to give the world a hug
And tell it jokes and stuff
Then pull its pants down to its shoes
And chase it through the rough
I'd tie it up with bonds and straps
And check its purse for change
Then leave it out at Moose Grin Hall
With our cousin who's deranged.

Also reminds me of the HL Mencken quote. When someone says it's not about the money, it's about the money.

So of course, when they say Don't Be Evil -- they're being evil.

Larry Ellison Testifies 06/30/2004 09:19 PM

I've been in federal court this afternoon to hear Oracle's La rry Ellison testify in the important antitrust case in which the government is trying to block Oracle's buyout of PeopleSoft. Ellison was, as you'd expect, a cool customer of a witness. But his appearance may have been something of an anticlimax, given that the issues of this case have been pretty well thrashed out by previous witnesses. Still, it was fascinating to watch. More later.

I wonder how long it will take before "Oracle" starts making you think "applications" before you think "database server."
