The phrase “if you want anything done do it yourself” has never been more relevant than with the looming crisis facing retirees hoping to survive on Social Security benefits. More to the point, the pool of income funding Social Security will not be enough to supply the benefits needed by the large baby boom generation. While the government will do what it can to ease the coming storm, it is the upcoming retirees themselves who must take matters into their own hands. [PRWEB Sep 2, 2004]

Beware the "wild" salmon

Beware the "wild" salmon 04/12/2005 01:47 PM
This is really disturbing: the New York Times reports that Stores Say Wild Salmon, but Tests Say Farm Bred in several stores in New York City. Tests performed for The New York Times in March on salmon sold as wild by eight New York City stores, going for as much as $29 a pound, showed that the fish at six of the eight were farm raised. Farmed salmon, available year round, sells for $5 to $12 a pound in the city. Emphasis mine. Given the contaminants found in farmed salmon, this deceptive practice troubling for consumers trying to make informed healthy decisions. I used to eat a lot of salmon but have really dropped the amount I eat in the past few years. Now it's less than once a month whereas it used to be twice a week, if not more. It's too bad because I love salmon, but it's too difficult to determine its source, especially when suppliers appear to be lying.

I saw a headline last week that grabbed my attention: "Novell catches Salmon to beef up services." Well, it is eye-catching but it was the sub-head that intrigued me: "The open-source networking specialist has acquired a U.K. consultancy company to extend the range of its service business." I did wonder why Cambridge consultants weren't enough for Novell.

Toxins Cited in Farmed Salmon
(washingtonpost.com) 01/09/2004 09:53 PM
washingtonpost.com - Farm-raised salmon, a growing staple of American diets, contains significantly higher concentrations of PCBs, dioxin and other cancer-causing contaminants than salmon caught in the wild, and should be eaten infrequently, according to a new study of commercial fish sold in North America, South America and Europe.

Technorati: 2.4 million and counting

Technorati: 2.4 million and counting 05/20/2004 08:41 PM
Yesterday evening I visited Technorati's first "develope rs' Salon," an event at which non-developer bloggers and "content producer" types like me were made to feel quite welcome. You can find blog notes about the event from JD Lasica and Christian Crumlish.

Dave Sifry and Kevin Marks presented the latest stats from the "cosmos" of blogs that Technorati tracks: 11-12,000 new blogs are added each day. (Roughly 45 percent are abandoned over time.) Over 200,000 new blog postings per day. 2.4 million blogs total tracked.

That's some serious volume -- though it pales compared to the total size of the Web that, say, Google surveys Technorati specializes in tracking, and keeping up with, the part of the Web that's constantly being updated. The blogs it follows provide a collective editorial filter on the news and the Web (see for instance the Technorati "Current Events" page).

Among the most interesting graphs were those that demonstrated the size and dynamic importance of blogging's "tail end of the curve." There's a vast number of blogs that don't have thousands of readers or links; maybe they only have ten or a hundred people reading them and linking to them. But, both individually and aggregated into small relational groupings, they provide a wealth of data about what people care about and what's on their minds. Sifry said that Technorati is trying to figure out better ways to "expose the really interesting stuff that's going on in relatively small communities."

The room was packed with three or four dozen developers and blog enthusiasts filled with pizza and beer and the unquenchable notion that their code could make a difference. Technorati is a small startup company (eight on staff now, Sifry said) with a clear and honestly communicated notion that it will at some point need to bring revenue in via advertising and subscription services. But right now it's at that happy moment when its programmers can just explore new ways of making their users' worlds more interesting.

Investing in Linked In and some explosive growth numbers.

Last week I had another great dinner in San Francisco with Reid Hoffman, founder of Linked In. Reid is one of the most impressive and visionary friends I know.

I am very proud to join its investors list. Reid has secured Series A financing of $4.7 million in November last year. The investment was led by Sequoia Capital, the venture investors behind well-known Internet brands such as Yahoo!, Google and PayPal. A round with business angels that I participated in will be announced within a few weeks.

Here is some information about Linked In's recent growth, if you are interested:

600,000+ users (30,000+ growth per week)
28,000,000+ email addresses sent through Linked In (3,000,000+ growth per week)
12 months old

Within the 600,000+ users:
265,000+ international users
120,000+ senior management-level users
8,000+ entrepreneurs
10,000+ VCs
100% professional users

and 28,000+ in France only.

Congrats, Reid ! [Loic Le Meur Blog]

Oh goodey. 600,000 more locked in people.  Isn't the world a wonderful place to make money?

I wonder if Reid, Joi and Loic will be investing in military industrial complex companies next?

Sure LinkedIn is just a wonderful vehicle for meeting people - but at what price?  And who owns that data?  Who owns those people?  I wonder why Reid doesn't support FOAF or being open - at all?  What does that say?

And why would Loic invest in such a company?  To make money - that's why.  At our expense.

Oh - did I forget to say - Reid is just such a nice guy!

Generally speaking, I don't post about personal stuff, but every year at this time I make an exception. Today is the third anniversary of my last cigarette. I have been 1097 days smoke free, or, as the best quit smoking site I found on the net, www.quitnet.com, calculates: 38,396 cigarettes not smoked. $8,638.88 saved 9 months, 23 days, 7 hours of my life saved. Quitting smoking was the hardest thing I ever did, and the smartest as well. Highly recommended, as is The Quit Net....
