I remember the first time I heard about Pandora. Mike Arrington had just come back from the first BarCamp in Palo Alto and he had witnessed a demo of the ‘not yet in public beta’ version. His enthusiasm for Pandora was infective. I submitted my name to the beta sign-up and eagerly awaited the launch.

Something that we’ve been talking about lately is ‘higher purpose’….setting a mission and vision, not in the traditional sense of a corporate mission statement that sounds as dry as toast and inspires very little, but in the sense of doing something good for the world, beyond just what you do.
The more we look at the [...]
Beginning Friday, November 24, we’ll be holding post-work (5-7pm) movie nights at Citizen Space. This BYOB, popcorn provided (just ordered this really cool old-fashioned popcorn machine), movie night will have a few geeky twists:
The movies are a mystery until everyone gets there: could it be Brando in On The Waterfront? or Depp in CryBaby? a [...]
Well, as of yesterday, really, we were (mostly) moved into Citizen Space: our new offices + the newest family member of the SF coworking spaces (The Hat Factory as well). There is still a wee bit of work being done on the boardroom tomorrow, but we have already had all sorts of awesome people stop [...]
Ev and Biz’s latest move to buy back their assets from their investors has signaled a shift in this era.
You see, all sorts of hubub goes around in the media (new and old) when ‘big’ stuff happens. Someone gets millions in funding or someone gets bought for billions. But what everyone keeps missing is [...]

With all of the talk lately about the Ze Frank / Rocketboom numbers, I thought it would be helpful for us to jump in and talk about some of the stuff that we’ve been thinking about.
You see, we deal with this issue regularly. We work with more qualitative (ie. anecdotal) data [...]
$2672
That’s less than the cost of 3 Aeron Chairs ($2697). What did we get for $2672? This is what makes it really awesome:

4 movable boardroom tables (small, can come together or pull apart)
One Coat rack
4 File boxes
3 perfectly awesome adjustable ergonomic chairs
2 bookshelves
5 waste baskets
One beautiful black leather [...]
I’m a wee bit late on reporting this story…we missed it when we were in Europe and I’m finally catching up!
I just got the chance to watch Carlos demo his upcoming release of Scrapblog on Podtech. It looks fantastic!
Scrapblog is another awesome client who implements quickly and designs beautifully. They’ve created a really delightful product. [...]
This is why we think it’s our job to 100% of the time put community interests ahead of corporate interests.
We feel that there are enough people in the world that are concerned about that corporate stuff. It seems that everyone we talk to these days asks about ‘the enterprise’ or ‘the bottom line’. Yep. Last [...]
We enjoyed meeting you, too, James! James is an awesome guy who is working on a health site from Scotland who I first had the pleasure meeting at a Founders SIG. He spent some time in the Bay area meeting people around here. I’m really glad he made it to BarCampSanFrancisco.
Not enough people send postcards, [...]
