One of the nice things about being pseud-anonymous is that I can talk about real-life events without much chance of a stalker showing up at my door.

I’m preparing for a vacation trip to India.

We have joined a tour sponsored by WGBH that will take us across the northern areas of the sub-continent and include visits to the Taj Mahal, a tiger preserve, ancient cities, grand temples and more. I am very excited; India has been on my list of places to visit before I die for a long time and the opportunity made it very easy. India is the type of place that I would not consider going on my own so a tour was a perfect choice.

I’ve already stocked up on memory cards for my digital camera and will be bringing along a laptop as a backup mechanism. I hope to be able to post along the way via Internet cafes or hotel broadband connections. I’ll also be posting highlight pics to my Flickr photostream so that the folks at home can follow along.

So get comfy, pass the naan and prepare to share a trip of a lifetime!

I’ve come to understand that all startups have one thing in common; the first BIG customer is a firedrill but incredibly rewarding.

For my latest startup Staples is that BIG customer. Staples Radio went live in 1250+ Staples retail locations on the 15th.This is a project over a year in the making and represents advances in delivery technology and business models on several levels.

Time for a deep breath, a nice relaxing weekend, and when Monday rolls around onward to the next BIGger customer.

So if you are in a TJ Maxx store before the end of October and someone asks you if you like the music you say “Yes! I love it! I’ll definately be coming back more often now!”.

Ok, say it with me… “Yes! I love it! I’ll definately be coming back more often now!”.

I knew you could. 😉
