For months now, I’ve been involved with a project that has too many chefs in the kitchen. The truth of the matter is, it seems that too many times (as I’ve read other VC blogs and start up stories) there’s a good chance that there are waiters pretending to be chefs, in the kitchen.

Is anyone out there finding the little one-line adverts at the top of GMail’s Inbox matching their email content a little too well? I’m writing content in my emails about Joomla! and CMS sites but not putting that information in the Title of the email – I’m now getting adverts for Drupal and support for CMS sites and adverts for other things I write about.

Is it just me?

From the Top Search Queries in Google’s Webmaster Tools come two very good questions that other folks may be asking…

Can you scan an MP3 music file for viruses? The short answer is yes; the details differ from method to method…

Space. Originally invented in 1905, it was known that it should be big, really big. After a few states were brought into the United States, it was decided that a few planets should be brought in too! And why not? It seemed that there was room for Space to grow. Considering Space to be the Final Frontier might be a good thing since it seems there’s more to find everyday!

An inconclusive two-month long investigation in to Feedjit’s “also liked” related link widget results in more pretty pictures than answers. Find out why it’s hard to find out if Feedjit’s widget actually helps a site’s “stickiness” or Depth of Visit.

So it will cost you three minutes to read how to set your computer life straight.

I’m normally very happy to see the Wall Street Journal and NYTimes and Washington Post make it to the leaderboard of Techmeme.com where tech-news is filtered via secret algorithm to form a lovely (not perfect) Page A1 TECH Section but today, I totally disagree with the WSJ’s article: “Time To Leave The Laptop Behind”

The other day, I was actually having a bit of a crisis when discussing with a friend just where the city-center for modern philosophers was. New York – art. DC – museums. New Orleans, LA, Nashville and Austin – music. Las Vegas – sin. The best I can remember is that historically, ancient Athens has been the only ever city-center for philosophy which would perfectly explain the likes of Kurt Cobain, some of my friends and, indeed, about 3% of the artists and bloggers and authors online. They’re homeless in a way. Could YouTube be our modern city-center?

A union of impatience and mobility is pressing us closer to Cloud Computing. Once mainstream media announces something technological, we’re headed for it within 24 months. Hidden among the normal chatter of Twitter and G1 and Sprint and email service outages are the little hints that point to Windows getting phased out, mobile devices getting prime real estate spots in our everyday lives and, what I dread, Cloud Computing.

I recently had a chance to play on some surface computers and developed some strong opinions that no one asked for.
