The Jarvis Men
Jeff Jarvis, who writes the awesome Buzzmachine blog and is the author of What will Google Do (and a co-host of This Week in Google) is currently visiting San Francisco Bay Area researching his next book. It is something to do about privacy. He is accompanied by his son, Jake who is very active on Social Nets and is off to college soon. The Father-and-Son team made time to have brunch with me this weekend. Needless to say, it was fun and a reminder why I need to visit New York more often.

The Scent of Money: Tag Cloud
Earlier I wrote an essay about Silicon Valley and the current state of events. It is a fun look at everyday life in tech land. My good pal, Paul Kedrosky summed it up in a few words with this image!

Kylie Minogue — The Twitter Top Ten
The first time I heard Kylie Minogue was back in 1988. At the time I used to do music reviews for many publications in New Delhi. At the time she was an Australian actress who was big on a soap called Neighbors. As was the fashion back then, like all actors she released a single. She was part of the Stock, Aitken & Waterman music production machine. Loco-motion was a cover version of Loco-motion and I absolutely loved the pop-groove. I never thought she would amount to much and would fade away as a singer.
Twenty two years later, she is still going strong. Over the years, I came to love two of her tracks, Chocolate and Slow. I just bought her latest album, Aphrodite. On a lark, I asked my twitter followers, what were their favorite Kylie songs. Here is a list of recommended top ten Kylie Minogue tracks.
- Love at first sight. (Most votes.)
- Can’t get you out of my head.
- Come into my world.
- Fever. (Cover of Ella Fitzgerald’s classic.)
- Spinning Around.
- Chocolate.
- Slow.
- Loco-motion.
- 2 Hearts
- Put yourself in my place.
Other songs that are worthy of your time:
Love is the Drug, Confide in me.
You can watch all her videos on her official YouTube channel. If you want to add to the list, please leave the names in the comments, I will add later.
Thank you everyone who followed up with answers on my twitterstream. You guys are awesome!

Hot in the City: Washington Square Park, NYC
New York and San Francisco are a weather apart. Short skirts vs long coats. Sweat vs sweats. Hotties vs hipsters.

Life is a Beach!
Every year as part of recharging my batteries, I end up at the Stinson Beach with my colleagues from True Ventures for a much needed offsite, which is as much a strategy session as it is an occasion to bond and relax. Here are some of the pictures from the most recent one.

“Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing, Breathing first, winning next.” late George “The Boss” Steinbrenner who passed away today after a massive heart attack. I couldn’t but notice that even after he died he dominates the baseball headlines. Today is the annual All Star Baseball Game in Anaheim, Calif. Not that you will notice for baseball world will be mourning the man they loved to hate. As a New York Yankees fan, I have no reason to hate the man who taught this team about winning today. He will be missed — why because he put Yankee fans above everything else.
