I have retained a few of my favourite posts from my old blog here for reference. I am currently publishing articles primarily on the Radical website.

Every time I see a burrito — IRL or on TV — Alex comes to mind. And I hope he always will. His passion for burritos was eclipsed only by WordPress. Alex has battled cancer for about three years — very bravely — and yesterday his family announced that he passed away peacefully, at home.……

A responsible “iGaming” company is one that chooses to not be in business. What is permissible is not always honourable – Cicero It is impossible to live in Malta if you’re involved in the software industry and not constantly run into the online betting or gaming companies – or people who work for them. A rough estimate……

A touching poem by David Whyte that a mere seven months ago would have been unremarkable to me yesterday left me speechless.

In my last post I promised that I’d elaborate on why I think “Free” is a flawed and misunderstood business model. This is that post. It’s a topic I’ve been meaning to write about for a while now; ever since I read Chris Anderson’s book Free around two years ago in fact. My contention is that……

Questions are starting to be asked seriously about whether we’re in the middle of a second internet bubble. Some say No: PwC, Fred Wilson, Sarah Lacy and Paul Graham strongly deny the existence of a bubble. On the other hand, some say Yes: Mike Arrington and Don Dodge think there is one.

Following Monday’s London event I’ve been refining my thoughts about the whole VRM concept. It interests me because it is very closely related to a subject I have a strong interest in: Ethical Entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is one of those topics that polarizes people: some evangelize and others vilify it. Whichever side of the fence you’re……

If you’ve ever read Carlota Perez‘s work, and/or are endowed with an average amount of common sense, you will know that like many other things, economic life cycles follow certain patterns. So do technological innovations. Some people call them ‘revolutions’. Like the Industrial Revolution or the Internet Revolution. Very often, the climate (economy, markets, investors,……

The Windsor Hotel Toya in Japan, host of the G8 summit, has reportedly spent $1.4 million on a monument commemorating global warming. The hotel says it “should act as a message for future generations to take care of the Earth.” It would, in my humble opinion, have been much more useful to do something with……
