MarketWatch
Stories from my career at MarketWatch and musings on the media business. I recall dinner with former colleagues, share anecdotes about forecasting and describe the “Two Second Test” for news websites.
Just baked three loaves of banana bread. Yum.
Chase just ate half-loaf of banana bread off the counter!

Back in hotel room. TV doesn’t work in this room. I find the failed TV more annoying than I think I should. Listening to Pandora instead.

Holy crap! Apple TV’s now show up as AirTunes remote speakers. How cool! Just had 3 systems all playing the same music from my desktop.

Confluence Case Study
A case study was just posted at the Atlassian website on the use of the Confluence wiki solution at work. Some nice quotes from me in it, and the story on how we’ve been using Wiki’s. It leaves out some of the longer history though. The Wiki use really started in MarketWatch long before Dow Jones bought us, and then spread when people saw how effective the technology was.
Nice writeup though. No big errors in it like these things can have so often.
