  • Andy Baio interviews the owner of the house on Blue Lick Road

    Andy Baio: But a larger question remained: what’s the deal with this place? Whoever owned it, they were too organized to be hoarders. The home appeared to double as the office and warehouse for an internet reseller business, but who sells a house crammed floor-to-ceiling with retail goods? With all of the mud slinging and doom scrolling…

  • An interview with Ryan Hertel of Socialocca

    I’ve devoted a lot of my time and effort in trying to help local entrepreneurs through advising, attending meetups, and being an active part of the local tech and business communities.

  • The Quincy Jones interview

    Quincy Jones: What would account for the songs being less good than they used to be? The mentality of the people making the music. Producers now are ignoring all the musical principles of the previous generations. It’s a joke. That’s not the way it works: You’re supposed to use everything from the past. If you…

    I have fond memories of the very early days of WordPress (when it had just been forked from b2/cafelog), of Twitter, of Brightkite, of App.net, of Mastodon… just to name a few. The early days of any platform or so important to what they will become. They are the most fun to watch. The early…

    My boy Dan Rubin on the Polaroid OneStep 2: First of all, it’s insanely exciting to see a brand new instant camera with the Polaroid name on it.

  • GeekWire Summit: Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft

    Satya Nadella in a video interview on YouTube at GeekWire Summit: By the way, all of these efforts didn’t started three-and-a-half years ago. It was Bill [Gates] who started MSR and Steve [Ballmer] who started our cloud push. A sprawling, candid interview with someone who may end up being Microsoft’s best CEO. I love that…
