Sabermetrics for business? Investing?
I have been a big fan of Sabermetrics for the past few years after reading moneyball. Taking traditional stats turning them upside down and looking for new more useful stats in the game of baseball…that’s my rough explanation of what Sabermetrics is. I just picked up the Football Prospectus 2007, which does the same thing [...]
The Naked Truth…
Went to a local meet up for people in the tech industry last night. It was a fun event, with lots of people, conversation, bbq, and a few drinks. Thanks for Redfin and everyone else who put this on…also if you were the person who Michael Arrington gave an Ooma too, he said that if [...]

Come September though two brands that [...]
Is Podcasting dead?
It seems like last year that Podcasting was the next great thing, the Twitter of last year (but without the crazy growth, just the hype). We are part of a web where you never know what the next thing as opposed to the next flame is. Podcasting provides(d) a way for people to host their [...]
