I've always wanted to be able to simply drop gadgets like my cell phone, bluetooth headset, mp3 player, into a box where they recharge automatically. Right now, I have a barrage of power converters and power cords on my desktop to deal with the gadgets. Every single gadget I have to plug in and then unplug ... «Read more» (March 2, 2006)

Here for a change (and your amusement) a pointer to a conference I'm definitely not involved with: Waterfall 2006. It's all about how to "just follow the process." (In case you wonder: Yes, it is a joke, but a funny one, cooked up by Mike Cohn, a proponent of agile software development methods.) «Read more» (January 27, 2006)

Deciding to hire a person, at most companies, is a group decision process. Usually, the potential co-workers interview the candidate and get together afterwards to make up their collective mind. [...] As such, the hiring decision is subject to common mistakes that can make a group substantially smarter or dumber than any single person ... «Read more» (November 22, 2005)

Over the last year, I've spent quite some time interviewing engineers for our Berlin-based startup. Having sat at both sides of the table many times got me thinking about how to best conduct such an interview. Approaches vary, however, I think a few things are common to all of them ... «Read more» (October 25, 2005)

Yesterday night was Web 2.0 party night in San Francisco. I first attended the Socialtext BoF at Jillian's in the Metreon building. Ross Mayfield had brought in Ward Cunningham and a lot of interesting people showed up. [...] After the Socialtext BoF it was the official Web 2.0 party at SWIG's. The place was packed ... «Read more» (October 7, 2005)

I'm at Wikimania [...] I listened to a keynote from Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, and invited talks by Ross Mayfield, founder of Socialtext, and Ward Cunningham, father of the wiki. If you missed the talks, make sure to come to WikiSym 2005, where all three of them will be on a panel about the future of wikis ... «Read more» (August 6, 2005)

I run a few wikis, most notably A Geek's Tour of Silicon Valley. After getting hit with wiki spam and watching it for a while, I decided to go YAGNI (*). Or, more precisely, to do the simplest thing that could possibly work to stop the spammers from defacing my wikis. I've been free of wiki spam for a few months now ... «Read more» (April 5, 2005)
