doink   (it's one of those things about nothing) homus || backlog || elsewhere || huh?   Tuesday, May 30, 2000 now they're accelerating light speed. i freaked my mom out when i told her that it's electronic bits that travel through a phone conversation, and not your actual voice. i don't think i'll tell her about this; it's still kinda hurting my brain... (5:20:22 PM) twas a great long weekend here on the westside. sunny, 85, slight ocean breezes. got in some quality beach time, did some errands, read a bit, and watched several baseball games. ahhhh, i needed that. (11:35:53 AM) Friday, May 26, 2000 b2bstores.com is (soon to be was) a public company with $6,383 in revenue for a 16 month period. good stuff. (10:21:50 AM) Tuesday, May 23, 2000 this past weekend was my 5 year college reunion. nothing major to report. saw some good friends that i haven't seen in a while, and also made some new ones. i also learned a new game: beirut.

(10:01:43 AM) solid article filled with pointers on accelerating your startup. best advice: hire hirers first. (9:11:40 AM) Wednesday, May 17, 2000 king of the lepers: drkoop. a scathing (but probably accurate) look at the nearly defunct health site. (9:59:56 AM) Tuesday, May 16, 2000 hmmm, can't wait to see battlefield earth. it sounds great! (9:11:32 AM) Thursday, May 11, 2000 in like a lion, out like a lamb. that giant sucking sound? that's the sound of dotcoms closing up shop. (4:07:38 PM) ow, my fingers! the ipo window closes on cmgi's big gold-plated hand. (8:59:41 AM) Thursday, May 04, 2000 etailers turn tail. nobody wants to be an etailer any more. that was short-lived, huh?
