Sunday, February 10, 2002Know your VC
VC's are gamblers. They're not intersted in funding the expansion of Jim's Donut Shop, even if Jim makes a good profit every month. Their business model is that a very small fraction of their businesses hit the jackpot while the rest fail trying to get there. The real world business model is that most successful businesses are like Jim's. No jackpot. Now, what happens if, for some reason, Jim manages to get a lot of VC cash. Well, you'll see Jim opening up dozens of franchises, building donut-baking warehouses, buying trucks, etc. Odds, are, Jim will fail.

There has been some recent discussion about how entities might be replaced in a hypothetical XML 2.0. Tim Bray has been furthering this idea on the www-tag mailing list, and has produced a skunkworks XML 2.0.

Net addiction diagnosis prompts concern, controversy
Contreverse mets-en! J'en ai ras le bol de ces prétendus experts... Avez vous déjà entendu parler de la dépendance affective au téléphone des adolescentes? Ou du syndrome d'investissement trop intensif dans les sports chez les jeunes? Ou des jeunes femmes désaxées qui vivent dans un monde parralèle, celui des séries télévisée roses ou des romans harlenquins? C'est le propre des humains d'avoir des loisirs et d'utiliser des supports divers pour les consommer (ondes, papier, électricité, réseau)!!! Lachez moi les bakets avec vos addictions!

Either way, I think that the two fixed outer columns plus a flexible inner column design suits a Radio weblog particularly well. Je ne pourrais pas être plus en accord, c'est ce que j'utilise depuis un mois...
