About Other Than That...
In today’s world of information overload most people maintain a binary view of things. There’s the left; and there’s the right.
Generally I find both sides rather full of cow pucky so I started this site.
Welcome to something Other Than That – a nourishing environment that fosters intelligent discourse with fascinating people.
It’s kind of like a social petri dish … just a lot less gooey and damp.

An (Intel) Inside(r) Look: My digs in Vegas
January 06, 2010 in News & Events
| Comments (0)
This year's trip to CES is in large part due to my role as an Intel Insider and since I (along with Frank Gruber, iJustine, Sarah Austin, JD Lasica, Tom Foremski, Daniel Brusilovsky & Corvida Raven) are here for Intel, they have been kind enough to take care of our accommodations. I'd be lying if I didn't admit I was pretty jazzed about it.
So having just finished up the first night of CES soirees, which included the Intel CORE Kick-Off shin-dig at which I gave a little greeting to the crowd, I'm now hunkering down in my favorite ballerina PJs and thought I'd show you my favorite feature of the rooms here at the Venetian.

Regardless of where you stand, SCOTUS was wrong
January 14, 2010 in It is what it is - opinion column
| Comments (0)
There will be some, no doubt, on the far right leaning side of the spectrum who say that the Supreme Court of the United States did the world a service by squashing the opportunity for televising of the Prop 8 trial currently underway in San Francisco.
While I certainly appreciate that everyone is due their opinion, in this case, I must say those people are just wrong.
Whether on the right or left, the need for transparency and openness in matters of great public interest is critical, and this week SCOTUS had the opportunity to do a great service to the people of this nation - the chance not only to help educate and inform people about the way in which our judicial system works but also the chance to shed light on a matter of great importance to our country.
Today's New York Times ran an Op-Ed on this topic. While those same people who agree with (and even likely influnced) SCOTUS' decision would disagree (and I certainly admit to understanding the NY Time's more left-leaning filter), this Op-Ed speaks the truth.
SCOTUS has shown that while the George W. Bush Administration may no longer be camping in the White House, the remnants of that disaster - like the devastation of Katrina - remain and will plague us for some time to come.
