Posted on May 9, 2008

Back in April at TheNextWeb I Met up with two great guys, Jude and James, who were shooting tech startup interviews for Intruders.tv.
I was able to do a quick 6min SugarStats.com interview and they were finally able to put it up on their site.
I was able to go over the how we started, the problems with diabetes as well as a little about our technical setup and where we’re going as a company.

The Next Web 2008, Health 2.0 NL, BarCamp IV and Lunch 2.0: A whirlwind of good times and opportunity

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind, I’ve just barely had a chance to catch my breath.
After being in Holland a few days I was able to attend the amazing TheNextWeb 2008 Conference in Amsterdam. The conference was top notch and was executed beautifully. The after parties, dinners and a live Diggnation were icing on the cake. I’ll definitely have to write a more indepth review about it but if you’re ever in the area while it’s going on I suggest you go.
Also last week I attended the Health 2.0 NL Unconference in Amsterdam which was just as great and surprisingly in a smaller volume. 50 or so people passionate about tech, health and how the 2 merge met up for a series of talks and networking. It was hosted and coordinated also by a top notch group of motivated go-getters and I have to say it was a smashing success. It was great to meet everyone here as well as give a presentation on SugarStats which was well recieved. I can’t wait for the next one as well as Health 2.0 Europe
Then of course there was the BarCamp IV Amsterdam which was put on by Peter Robinett, of course in Amsterdam too. Had a lot of great talks and got to meet a lot of bright, forward thinking folks. A keg of beer didn’t hurt all that much either 
This coming Friday is Lunch 2.0 in Amsterdam, should be a blash as well. So much to do I’ll have to defer a more in-depth post till later. Till then…

Jack Bauer in 1994 on AOL 3.0 - Hilarious
Posted on November 9, 2007

As a major 24 fan myself as well as someone who used to be on AOL 3.0 on my 9600bps modem, something about this parody rang home.
Ah yes, the good ol’ days of paying for the Internet hour by hour. And wait, huh? Whats that? I get 5 free bonus hours for the month if I sign up with AOL today? Awesome!
I thought I was soooo cool with my 4MB of Ram and 25Mhz CPU which was an upgrade from my 8Mhz Mac Plus with 1MB Ram. ONE MEGABYTE!!!!
But I couldn’t complain because as Bill Gates said:
“640K ought to be enough for anybody!”
Its really funny to see how so much has changed, things were so much simpler then. Though I love technology to death, I really am glad to be able to say “I existed before everyone and their dog had a computer and was online 24/7”.
Back in the day when you actually had to find creative outlets and actually go outside to interact with the real world. The social disconnect back then was still at a minimum. Good times.
Some of my fav quotables from this:
- “He’s got total control of our geocities page”, “god help us”
- “I can see him, he’s hacking into the mainframe”, “But we just installed Windows 3.1, no way!”, “He’s in”, “Bogus!”
- “Gotta go Jack”, “Why?”, “We’re paying for the Internet, BY THE HOUR”.
- “Email him the bomb schematics.”, “It’s 150 Kilobytes!”, “Jesus! Print them out and we’ll send a bike messenger”
