Opera reinvents the web?

Jason Ball

"Opera today (well, last week. I've been a little slow getting this post out) unveiled Opera Unite, a new technology that shakes up the old client-server computing model of the Web. Opera Unite turns any computer into both a client and a server, allowing it to interact with and serve content to other computers directly across the Web, without the need for third-party servers.

How I manage my time

Eric Friedman

A few people recently have inquired about how I manage my time and process lists of items that need some action.

I manage everything via Email.

Do VCs Take The Summer Off? Entrepreneurs Say Yes. The Data Says No.

Insane Perseverance in the Face of Complete Resistance

K9 Ventures

It was 2:00 AM and I was still sitting in ‘The Cave’ — the name we affectionately gave to the cubicles in the bowels of Wean Hall at Carnegie Mellon. It was called ‘The Cave’ because it’s all under ground, with no natural light portals whatsoever. The cave was kinda like Vegas — once you enter you lose track of time.
