hey it's juan soto on the scoble show

It was fun to see our old friend Juan Carlos Soto interviewed on Scoble's video podcast show. The interview is mostly a sales pitch for Solaris and an appeal to startups to come back to the Sun fold, if you like that sort of thing. But I don't care, it's great to see JCS and it's clear he is doing well. He's smart, likeable, and Sun is lucky to have him.

fred has a blog, but it doesn't have a house

So it seems there's this water called Fred. It has a "trendzine", and you can be its friend on myspace. It's got a store called LoveFred. And hey, "Fred is a registered trademark of Fred Brands." I guess it's launching in NYC, wonder if that's pure cold spring water from the IND tunnel seeps. Er, the IND is what you would now call the 7 or something I suppose. Anyway, it's totally whacked trendwater. Ridiculous but vaguely clever, sort of like me. I can't wait to tell Fred.

go wish alex a good birthday

There once was a blogger named Pang
Whose insights were cogent and strong
On his jet pack he rode
Through cyberspace he strode
And he penned his own birthday song.

Happy Birthday Alex!
