Ryan notes that this month marks his 10th year on the Web. Tomorrow (12/31/2004) marks the beginning of the 9th year online for O’DonnellWeb.
It was a cold and windy one, that night of Dec 31, 1995. OK, actually I have no idea if it was cold or windy. …
I watched Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo last night. The more Hitchcock movies I watch, the harder it becomes for me to appreciate current movies. What he did with camera angles and lighting is just amazing. It puts most current special effects efforts to …
Robert Scoble, MS geek blogger, gives us a great example of life in the echo chamber.
By the way, I really don’t understand why the press thinks there’s a browser war underway. The real war is between RSS and HTML. At the recent Gnomedex conference abo…
want to respond to Scoble’s response to my comments.
My point was that RSS is not the next big thing. It’s a thing certainly, but it’s not going to change the world. Scoble disagrees, and to make his case he cites computer history, listing BBS, AOL, Pr…

I watched North by Northwest last night. Great movie, with Hitchcock’s usual brilliant cinematography. One thing caught me by surprise though.
When Thornhill meets Eve Kendall on the train, she very openly propositions him into bed 5 minutes after they…
I ‘d like to wish my marriage a belated happy 13th birthday (it was yesterday). Fortunately, I did wish my spouse a happy 13th on the correct day.
