I have nothing to add to this.

Microhoo! & Thank You
Microsoft recently made a bid for Yahoo!, which I think is a terrible idea, unless Microsoft is planning on embracing the open source community, which is about as likely as me finding out I’m Bill Gates’ illegitimate child. (That is quite a run on sentence).
My “Thank You” goes to Toshiba for killing HD-DVD without dragging its inevitable death out for a few years. Once Warner Brothers, Wal*Mart, and Netflix bailed on the format, HD-DVD was on life support. I thank Toshiba for being strong enough to pull the plug.
Mardi Gras
Happy Mardi Gras.
Today is Super Tuesday, a day in which a lot of states have their political Primaries and a lot of candidates realize if they have an actual chance at becoming the President.
Today many in New York are still attempting to recover from the Giants’ SuperBowl victory and tomorrow many in New Orleans will be recovering from Mardi Gras celebrations. Tomorrow is also Ash Wednesday, or the beginning of Lent. Will you be participating by giving anything up?
TechCrunch also has an interesting article on why YahooSoft or Microhoo may not be all bad.
February 1st
I’ve been gone for a while, but I have a new philosophy on posting. My plan now is to post more often, but make them a lot shorter, occasionally adding one of my typical multi-paragraph posts. That’s almost it for now, but I also want to comment on Microsoft’s unsolicited bid for Yahoo. Why? I don’t see much advantage in combining two companies that are losing to Google. Microsoft needs to continue its path of smaller acquisitions that pick at Google one piece at a time while Yahoo would be better in the hands of a company that doesn’t currently have a significant online presence; think IBM or AT&T.
By the way, just so everyone knows, I haven’t stopped writing during my break, I just haven’t posted. I have over a dozen drafts that haven’t found there way to the website, but may slowly appear post dated.
