Vacation is upon me

Well this is my last day before I leave for vacation.   Not much really going on.  The more I see about the Right Media acquisition by Yahoo the more I like the move.  Microsoft is making waves at Mix with Silverlight and here is a great writeup on it.  I think it will be a hard cultural shift as so many developers political leaning is so far left they do not want to do anything big corporate…but hey its a step in the right direction.

Weather looking good in Tampa high 80’s…so I should come back even light and tanner than when I went down , these are not such bad things.. Well enough rambling I am off to work.  I will try to write about the camp experience everyday I am down there

Yahoo gets Right Media

The big news today is the 680Million Yahoo just plunked down for Right Media.  There is alot of good coverage on this at GigaOm and Techcrunch.  We all saw something similar coming after the big Google Doubleclick play.  But again someone at Yahoo is doing their homework.  This is a much better value play and the technology is much more efficient.  Nice job Yahoo…

There seems to be alot of buzz around Zwinktopia.  I am not that familiar with this other than it is aimed at the preteen crowd and they have begun the move into their own virtual world.  We will see how this plays out, but if nothing else we should all see a big flurry of similar type sites pop up soon.  Generally what one finds with any product geared to this age group is that they have a tremendous “big bang” and then fade away.  Can anyone say Cabbage Patch.

Vacation is just a mere two days away and I have the weight down to 197lbs, 31 lbs light than when I started in March.  I feel good and am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to get whooped by some 11 yr old girl on the courts.  I have been checking out Roger Cox’s tennis resort site almost daily, yes I have no life.  The reviews are pretty solid for Saddlebrook, even better than those for Bollettieri.  I arrive late Wens and hit the courts early Thurs.  I am hoping the weather will cooperate and not hit the 90’s, though it is looking like high 80’s for my whole 12 days there.

Well that is all the rmabling I have for today
