Can You Play Eight Hours A Day And Still
Call It Casual Gaming? 05/28/2004 09:35 AM
A few months ago, we wrote that every few months there's an article somewhere about making video games for non-gamers - and they always seem to focus on making games for women. Well, it's been a few months, and Wired Magazine has decided it's their turn to write up an article about "casual gaming," which is what they seem to call the online gaming market for the relatively simple, but completely addictive games that many people play via EA's Pogo, Yahoo or MSN. This isn't a new idea, but it's amusing that every time it's written about, people write about as if no one knows that there are so many people (usually women) who actually play these games.

Six Apart grows again

Six Apart grows again 07/14/2004 03:25 PM

Six Apart just acquired Loic's blog company, Ublog. Loic had been acting as our marketing partner in Europe, but now he's apart of Six Apart. (Mena has a good story about this.)

Andrew Anker who I met when he was running Hot Wired back in the day has also just joined Six Apart. (More about that on at Mena's Corner)

Last but not least, Barak Berkowitz who was once my boss at Infoseek, then later worked for me at Neoteny, is now taking over the role of CEO of Six Apart. (Mena's story about this)

Welcome aboard everyone. I think we're turning a new page in the development of Six Apart. I urge you to read Mena's posts for her view on all of this. I'm a proud VC today.

PEAR grows up: MDB 01/12/2003 01:36 PM
We met with the author of Metabase at the International PHP Conference 2001 and we talked about the benefits of having something like Metabase as part of the PEAR project. Shortly afterwards a discussion began once more in the PEAR mailing list about the potential benefits of a merge of PEAR DB and Metabase. After much discussion at my company we decided to take up this task. After several months of hard work we now have the first stable release of MDB. - Lukas Smith Lukas Smith has done a fine job with MDB and finally PEAR has a decent db abstraction library. Congrats!

How Google Grows...

How Google Grows... 03/19/2003 10:24 PM
Fast Company has a wonderfully in-depth article on the the success of Google. Bottom line:

Sidebar: How does Google keep innovating? One big factor is the company's willingness to fail. Google engineers are free to experiment with new features and new services and free to do so in public. The company frequently posts early versions of new features on the site and waits for its users to react.

These are just the themes we asked Google's Craig Silverstein to cover in his upcoming O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference keynote, "G oogle, Innovation, and the Web".
