As I pried my eyes open with toothpicks this morning due to my fatigue from yesterday’s lousy run, I looked forward to another week. Monday’s usually bring lots of fun little tidbits since people crank out a long thoughtful blog on Sunday night and the local papers usually run their major tech interest stories Monday morning. A couple of my friends / investments showed up.
- Me.dium: Matt Branaugh of the Daily Camera profiled Me.dium – one of the Boulder-companies I’ve invested in that is going after my poorly named “dynamics of information” problem (a free blog post and mention to someone that comes up with a better name for “dynamics of information.”) I’m having a ton of fun with Me.dium – I just made myself “visible to all” so anyone that installs it can see where I’m surfing at any moment in time.
- Being 25 Again – Sort of: Scott Converse – the CEO of ClickCaster – has a long rant on what it’s like to be in your 40’s and starting up a new company.
- Fred’s Kids and His Slingbox: Fred Wilson’s family is a consumer of products from companies I’ve invested in. They love their hand-me-down Sidekicks, rock out to Guitar Hero, and will soon be enjoying TV via their Slingbox.
I can’t wait for Halloween. I have some surprises for my friends that I’m going to see on Tuesday. Plus – I expect I’ll get to overload on chocolate and not feel guilty.
I think you forgot the link to Scott’s rant.

Last week, one friend brought over Guitar Hero and another couple brought a Dance Dance Revolution pad. My wife and I have a Taiko Drum game and Karaoke Revolution.
We each took turns playing all four games, and had a Playstation Olympics: singing, dancing, drumming, and wailing on the guitar!

I haven’t been a reader here long enough to recall a ‘dynamics of information’ post. From looking at the interesting concept of Me.dium (or as much as I can glean online anyway) it seems to be more about a transactional application of traffic dynamics. The concept seems to be more about identifying and linking individual traffic patterns than aggregating information to identify traffic volume. Very cool.

Glad i saw this post about me.dium — I got a beta invite in my email and deleted it as spam based on the name (like “vi.agra”). Oops. Now I’ve signed up. Love the transparency this brings.
