You might have missed this, but over the last few days Ebay
found a buyer for most of Skype. The
Skype story has many threads that resonate with issues such as the success of
peer-to-peer data networks, the affect of true price competition on the incumbent
telecommunications companies and what happens when a company buys a business
that is outside of its core competency. Skype
has been important bell weather in all of these ways, but the part that has
struck me the most is how it shows the importance of knowing where the core
intellectual property rights are before you buy or invest in the business.

Sometimes It’s Better Just to Play My Guitar

One of the best things about having a hobby is that it can help you release tensions in a crazy world. And, I am sure you agree, this has been a crazy making time – yo-yo oil markets, nonstop punditry, the cacophony of contrasting opinions and the specter of a Depression. Almost a lifetime’s worth of stress in a single year. It’s been fun, hasn’t it?
I must admit that some of the things that I have seen have made me extremely unhappy, and perhaps a bit of a curmudgeon. Sometimes I’ve shared those opinions in blog postings, but other times they are just great inspirations for songs. Last week the band I play in, Two Car Living Room, played some of these songs in a gig. For those of you that weren’t there, I’d thought I’d post a few of them here. If you are looking for the secrets of raising capital in today’s world, this blog post won’t be of much use to you. But, in the spirit of fun, I thought I would share a few of my songs with you.

Earlier today I participated in an interesting comment string on Facebook. This is happening more and more to me, and I am sure that I am not alone. As information flows through our lives, via Facebook, Twitter and so on, the ability to share our thoughts and have them shaped by others becomes more efficient and quicker. There is no doubt that these changes facilitate better communication about the trivia of our lives also. But, recently, I have also been having some second thoughts about whether this is always a great thing.
