Radio Bump Reply Hazy, try again. Sunday, April 15, 2001 Brent is doing a great job of keeping up with Mac OS X stuff on the web at machagogo.com. 5:24:33 PM discuss []
Matt talks today about the unreasonable Web. I'd take what he says there a step further and express the concern that the unreasonable web people may have ruined several viable business opportunities for everyone who follows them. It's going to be hard to get funding for ideas like another Kozmo with all of these failures and the bad press that has followed them. Having said that, my experience has been that VC firms as a group aren't particularly brilliant at distinguishing between a real business opportunity that meets a market need and is staffed with talented people and folks who haven't got a clue with some lame business plan with no focus. 12:44:07 PM discuss []
I also read about half of Cryptography Decrypted. This book is a great, mostly non-technical, introduction to basic encryption, the history of encryption, and the current state of encryption. I've been interested in digging deeper into this subject since I read the Cryptonomicon. 12:37:33 PM discuss []
I did a bit of reading yesterday, a nice combination of computers, fiction, and fun. I read Lone Wolf and Cub Vol. 1, which is the first of twelve graphic novels about a ronin. If you like Japanese history, particularly samurai stories, this graphic novel is great. Really authentic story lines, and well done illustration. 12:30:07 PM discuss []
