Today, Seesmic, the company founded by Loic Lemeur, announced their initial $6 million funding. Several people noticed that my name isn't on the list of investors.  I'll probably end up kicking myself when Seesmic becomes the next Google or YouTube. I remain a fan of the company and Loic and his team and will be rooting for them.  Why did I get cold feet? It has nothing to do with the product or the company, both of which appear to be outstanding. It's the stock market. I had to make the final Seesmic decision as I was getting out of stock, at a significant loss. The only stock I hold now is AAPL, and sadly, it's way under the price I paid for it a few months ago. Like a lot of other investors, right now stocks give me the willies. I will likely get back in, slowly, a little bit every week to average out the price, hoping the market has found a bottom.

Alexey Zakhlestin gave a talk for the PHPThinktank IRC channel recently on the topic of YAML, PHP, and some of the work that he's done combining the two.   It happened a bit of spontaneously, so noone was invited. It was my first try, to make introduction to yaml for php prgrammers, and if there is more interest I will give another talk which will cover more details, this time with proper scheduling :)   You can check out the log of the discussion for his entire talk (covering topics like what YAML is, where to get more information on it, some of its features, and a mention of the Syck library for parsing it).

Silicon Valley has long been the stuff of dreams, a place where gawky entrepreneurs create billion-dollar companies in their garages, their innovations sometimes bending the rules but forever changing the way we listen to music or chat with friends.

(InfoWorld) - The former engineering major in me got a nice surprise Tuesday afternoon when Intel's Gordon Moore (that's right, the guy behind The Law) spoke at the Intel Developer Forum Tuesday. Tech Nation's Moira Gunn hosted an hour-long conversation with Moore, and while I'm not usually one to go all weak-kneed at the sight of tech-industry giants, I have to admit that the father of Moore's Law got me going. Moore shared his thoughts on more than 40 years in the semiconductor industry and really helped bring into focus exactly how far we've come. The entire conversation will be available as a webcast shortly, but here are a few of my favorite tidbits: * On what the world would look like today if the integrated circuits Moore helped develop hadn't taken off, and computers were still built from individual transistors and components: There was an early projection by one of the few companies making transistors that eventually they could get the cost of a transistor down to 68 cents. Well, the IC did take off, and "today you buy them for 10 picobucks!" * Intel wasn't close to the first choice as a name for the company. It was initially called Moore-Noyce Electronics and a nice punny little name they used to initially incorporate the firm, but they ran through five or six candidates for a real name before they got Intel cleared as a trademark. Apparently it used to be standard procedure to clear such names in New York and California and assume that that got you the rest of the U.S. Of course, Moore said, "Then we ended up having to buy 'Intel' from a hotel company in the Midwest." Score one for the flyover states. * On innovation in general: "The most exciting things are usually in the interfaces, and there's lots of exciting stuff going on [now] in the interface between computers and biology." * Finally, what was Moore excited about for the next decades of technology? "We're going to get to the point where computers have really good language recognition ... where you interact with your computer the way you interact with your colleagues." Gordon, I can't wait.
