I may be the only one who is completely impressed with Citigroup lately. I wrote about their incredibly successful cross-selling initiative (spearheaded by Tom Jones) last month; but I was also impressed on a personal level. My wife and I switched out banks last month, and are consistently blown away at how sophisticated they are. They’ve…

Thanks to a note from Bryce Yehl, I finally downloaded myRadio. It looks good, and is a nice extension of the Radio desktop. For the uninitiated, here’s what’s going on: Radio has two components. One is the version you see – a fully-formatted web site. There’s also a web site that I see. That web site…

Commenting on a post of mine from a few months ago, Mike Doan says: Mike @ 08/01/2002 08:38 PM. I’m an account and I blog…does that count? I rarely comment on the industry though. Until recently there hasn’t been much to comment on. [YACCS Comments for tins ::: Rick Klau’s weblog]Cool! An accountant blog is…

(How’s that for a tortured headline?) Took a nice brief vacation, got back last night. Traveling with two kids under three is always an adventure! Much to get caught up on, and I’m again frustrated by Radio’s aggregator. (Non-Radio users can ignore this.) It took me just 20 minutes to get caught up on e-mail (more than…

I’m signing off for a couple days; the family and I are heading east to Maine for an annual family get-together. Lobster from Prebles and fried clams at The Clam Shack await. Mmm… I’ll check back in Monday, hopefully well-fed and rested. Have a great weekend!

Glenn Fleishman, commenting at John Robb’s weblog: “In the last 3 months, between Amazon.com commissions, PayPal donations, and sponsorships, the site has nearly hit $1,500 in revenue.”

Wondering why there’s been no responses to my piece on Ashcroft’s declaration last week that Operation TIPS would not require a database. I actually think there’s more than a little substance to this… then again, maybe not. But the prospects of Ashcroft and the Orwellians (that’s my new favorite name for a rock group) getting millions…

Marc Barrot really impresses me. Not only has he developed an outstanding plug-in for Radio, he’s committed to his users. Over the past week I’ve sent him a handful of e-mails, and each time I’ve had a reply – most times within an hour.Last week, I decided to try to make his activeRenderer tool work…

Last month I stayed at an Embassy Suites hotel in Marlboro, an outer suburb of Boston. Marlboro is less than five miles away from Natick and Framingham (where two of my meetings were), so it made sense to be there instead of downtown. I had the majority of one day free, and used it to…

Interesting reports from today’s NY Times about TiVo and ReplayTV: TV Magic, Made More Magical Still. Imagine a gizmo so amazing that everyone who bought it turned into an evangelical fanatic, extolling its virtues to anyone within earshot. Such a machine exists. By David Pogue. [New York Times: Technology]David reviews the new Replay 4500, which…
