Let me introduce you to the next Justin Bieber. His name is Shlomo Schwartz, but his alias (or whatever musicians call it) is ShlomputZ. His web site is at shlomputz.com and here is a sample song: Okay, so we play basketball together. We have for the past few years or so. Last night, after the
Apple is going after Gizmodo (see here) for blogging about the new iPhone. It gets complicated but basically, it just looks bad. Some are calling for a boycott of Apple products. Facebook released new privacy features that really leaves most Facebook users open in terms of their privacy really not being protected. Many are deactivating

I really can drop Google from THE index. By “the” index, I mean from Foursquare‘s index. Foursquare gave me “superuser” rights as a way for me to update RustyBrick’s information on their system. But that also gave me full rights to update any venue’s information on Foursquare, including Google NYC, which I have been to
Yesterday, in the office, we were having weird internet issues and also outages on our phones. It actually has been up and down for past few days. I finally called the cable company to complain.
