I was having a conversation with Steve Spencer the other day about ConnectBlogs. He was surprised to learn that I was one of the guys behind ConnectBlogs. I thought I’d tell the story here for your enjoyment/enlightenment.
The first business model for 10Speed Media involved us going out and doing what we called “renegade” video. They were short videos on local [...]
The stock market no longer moves based on sound fundamentals - it swings on the emotion of fund managers, media opinion, politics, and the average Joe’s paranoia.Â
On that note, Apple’s stock sunk yesterday when Steve Jobs didn’t announce any new ground breaking products at MacWorld. Fundamentally the company couldn’t be doing any better.
Hillary Clinton sheds a tear and the Democrats in New [...]
Here are a few people who have intrigued me lately. Â
Mario R. Capecchi
University of Utah researcher, Dr. Mario Capecchi was just awarded the Nobel Prize for scientific advancement. Dr. Capecchi has lead a incredible life - consider his amazing story of survival during WWII:
“Mario Capecchi was born in the Italian city of Verona in 1937. His father [...]
I indicated in another post that I was going to tackle the eternal question of whether one should get an MBA or not. Sorry for the long post but I hope it helps those of you who have been wondering. Here it goes…
My Story
I graduated from UVSC with an undergrad in business. I had attended BYU but ended [...]
While out on Facebook today I came across a picture that spoke a thousand words to me. It’s a picture that defines “legitimate” in Utah.

In case you can’t open the link this is a photo of Josh James and John Pestana at the NASDAQ on the day they took Omniture public. That’s legitimate. I stared at that picture [...]
As I sit here reading the news this morning I am convinced that the US is heading for a recession next year. However, I’m not really all that concerned about it. We’ll work through this cycle in the same way we did in 2002 and come out on top. Don’t get me wrong, I think [...]

Here’s my new version of blogging, which is something in between real blogging (which is cool) and Twitter (which isn’t cool)…Â
iPhone price drop
Apple just dropped the price of the iPhone by $200 so an 8 gig iPhone now costs $399. What a steal! I wonder how all those hardcore Apple early adopters feel about the iPhone dropping $200 [...]
John Dvorak set off a Web firestorm today when he declared that the Web 2.0 “bubble” is coming and that the end is near. Sometimes TechCrunch writer, Marshall Kirkpatrick and Robert Scoble took Dvorack to task on their respective blogs. Hundreds of other joined in. Ouch.
I thought I would weigh in myself not so much on what [...]
HookSell is cool. No - HookSell is very cool!
I met Benoy Tamang, the CEO of HookSell, at the V|100 lunch several weeks back. We agreed to meet so we could get to know each other and talk about our respective companies.
I was blown away by HookSell because it is so much like 10Speed Media - from a model [...]
