My flight from Boise to Portland was cancelled due to mechanical FUBAR. The lady at the counter didn’t even make me ask: she immediately looked for an alternative flight, even calling the main grid at Horizon to make sure I could get to PDX tonight through Spokane. It’s no fun to have the […]

LGM travels every month for business, and airport security is just downright onerous. The last TWO times we went through the Boise Airport, our general counsel - an officer of the court - was selected for the full pat down. The last time that happened to ‘ol Dave, he stood next to another woman who […]

There’s lots of interesting news about the “free” business model out there. Shane sent me a link to a speech by Wired Magazine editor Chris Anderson where he talks about being in the business of “free.” We already understand that model well - but there are some who don’t.

Remember when Ricki Ricardo would come home and interrupt Lucy in the middle of some hijinx, and exclaim, “Lucy! You have some ’splaining to do.” Well in my best Ricki accent I ask you: “Will someone please ’splain to me what the deal is with the VCs and sematic search?” I have blogged about this […]

Good thing […]

As usual, LGM has been busy with jobs, school, companies, etc., but we’ve had some good quality time for the family too, you know.
Carol and I took the mangy mutts up to Castle Rock for a little climb the other day. That’s a nice close in trip. Castle Rock is out in the lower foothills […]

I am pretty sure that we talked about our trip to Seattle (TWO trips ago, now). But just in case that we missed it, the Microsoft Research News Feed sent over a great story talking about their new headquarters on Microsoft’s suburban Redmond, WA campus. Let me tell you, this building is absolutely incredible. Gorgeous […]

So after our recent swing through Portland and Seattle, and explaining Pronetos to many, many people time and again, I got to thinking about how to recognize when a a customer isn’t interested in what you are selling, and what to do about it, and also how the scientific method plays into this whole thing […]
