Two friends of mine have finally decided to get blogging. Yes, I know that blogging seems passé to some of you out there, but it still has it purpose.
First up – Tuesdaynight’s very own Josh Nanberg has launched his eponymous blog. Josh is one of the few people I know who can
- breakdown political messaging techniques in to something I can understand
- cook a four course meal in a 1 course kitchen
- reference deeply obscure music lyrics
all at the same time.
Next up – my friend and mentor, Rob Ciampa has decided to divert his seemingly boundless energies into a bit of blogging. Besides having an encyclopedic knowledge French wine, a photographic memory for menus, and a typical Boston potty-mouth, Rob is one of the best corporate marketers and channel managers I have ever met.
Admittedly neither blog has much content but I know these guys, and I know what’s to come. You’ll want to know it to.

About a week ago, my mother-in-law showed me how to make refrigerator pickles. I just sampled the first batch. Notes:
- Green beans worked really well
- Pearl onions need more time – maybe a parboil
- This hobby isn’t going to be healthy… which means it is a hobby I’ll need to keep up
More later.

I just got back from Santa Fe by way of the Catalyst conference. I spent a week with the in-laws and their families. I like Santa Fe. It is a great eating town.
- I highly recommend Maria’s Kitchen at St. Francis and Cordova. Simply awesome grub.
- The Dragon Room has reopened. It’s been renovated and lost a little bit of its local charm. Drinks are still good though.
- Upper Crust – when you need great pizza and not good service.
- I found The Shed to be a little disappointing this time. May just have been as we were eating towards the end of the night.
Back to work tomorrow… still no iPhone.

Last night I had dinner with a cast of characters:
We grabbed a late batch of dim sum at Ton Kiang. Good stuff I have to say.
One of the things that Mark Mc and noticed was that the identity market is remarkably small. It is definitely a good thing that ex-Access360/IBM, Thor/Oracle, Waveset/Sun guys can break bread and have a laugh over the deals that we used to compete. It’s that (grudging, at times) comradery in this market that I love and it is one the things that makes Catalyst so much fun.
