The hard FAQs about Vidoop

There have been some good blog conversations lately about myVidoop.com and Vidoop Secure (over at Judi Sohn’s Web Worker Daily review of myVidoop, or Carleen Hawn’s write-up over at GigaOM for example). There are several really good questions that get asked often. I figured I’d collect them all here so that I have one place [...]

Every week should be like this one!

I’m seriously having about the best possible week I could have. It got started on Monday when our Biz Dev Veep and I went on a partner status trip. Our various partners are doing some very exciting things, and it was fun to spend some time with them in their own spaces. Our mid-September myVidoop.com [...]

Things are getting busy

With Jennifer and a houseful of stuff finally in town, we’ve got our unpacking work cut out for us. For better or worse, Vidoop is currently marching toward our next big product wave before the end of September. Overall, I’d say things are going really well right now, with our technology deliverables mostly ready to [...]

We made it

Made it to Tulsa last night right around midnight. My “Where you at?” tool wasn’t quite as exciting to follow along with as I hoped it would be–we spent most of Day 2 in the mountains of Utah with terrible cellular reception, and then on Day 3, we were on I-40 the whole day so [...]

Where you at?

I’ve got our “where you at?” map up. Check it out. More features to come over the course of the trip.

Already got an update…

Jennifer got stopped by the State Patrol. Passed a cop going 82 in a 70. He must think she’s cute–she got off with a warning.

And they’re off!

Jennifer and I are finally on the road from Seattle (Bellevue) to Tulsa, OK. In usual form, it took until 1:00 before we were on the road. Also in usual form, we were up until 2am the night before the cross-country drive. Jennifer points out that we got tons of good stuff done at the [...]

Duality

Philosophers, physicists, mathematicians, logicians, and electrical engineers each have their own phenomenon that they’ve dubbed duality. Over the last several years, I’ve noticed a phenomenon that I’ll call television (and movie) duality. Stated in its simplest form, television duality is the tendency of television shows to be released nearly concurrently by different studios in supiciously [...]

All new airline snafu

I flew back to Seattle this year for Independence Day on Continental Airlines. When I went to check in online for my return flight, the web site told me it was having trouble checking me in, but that I should go to the airport to have them help me out. So I had Jennifer drop [...]

Frontier airlines

Frontier Airlines is right when they say "it’s a whole different animal". They apparently stopped accepting cash on flights and will now only take credit cards for alcohol, DirecTV, or movie purchases. Also, the Captain called the other pilot his Co-Captain, which is a fine title, I suppose, but it sounds a little like their [...]
