 Okay, not as intimidating as I hoped.. but really, it looks much cooler in real life.

 

3 boys

Okay,

I have 3 boys, and they couldn’t be more different.  Those who do not have kids, and care to share an opinion on “nature vs. nurture” just don’t have any credibility.  It is not a theoretical exercise.

My boys have been raised pretty much the same, but they could not be more different in intellect, persona, likes/dislikes, and general view of the world.  It is truly amazing, and you learn to absolutely love and appreciate each of them.  It’s like diversity training at home.

 

Wet Feet

Or is it cold feet?

Ok, so I have resisted with all my might getting involved in the blogging world.  I read em, and I comment on em… but I refused to write one.  Well, here it is, and this will probably be the start of something that everyone will regret.

 Web2.0 — will it be the latest in another round of unmontetizeable services, for which a lucky few are acquired by the big guys who just gotta have it?  Or will monetization become a reality? 

Well.. all I can say is who cares — great services are being created (www.flickr.com – www.wordpress.com  www.del.icio.us.com) , and great tools to manage those services are emerging.  see www.flock.com for an example.   Whether monetized or not, these services are forever changing how people interact, transact, and express themselves. 

One thing I do know is that behind every social network, lies transactions, and services like www.paypal.com will always benefit when more people manage more of their life online.  think about it… all our relationships, all our social networks, end up driving transactions.
