Trying to figure out what to think about this: (from BusinessWeek) The Nasdaq said after markets closed that it will cancel all trades of stocks that moved more than 60 percent from their price at, or immediately prior to, 2:40 p.m., when the slide started. The cancellation applies to trades...

If you are a fan of Gary Vaynerchuk but haven’t noticed his “Into the Trenches” videos posted from the VinTank office, you should check them out on Gary’s Cork’d blog. They are a nice change of pace compared to his WLTV videos. Gary is a great, engaging interviewer and gets some candid responses...

I’m going through old old notes under my desk today (that’s for the prodding, Kim), and thought I’d post this bit that I scribbled into a notebook on a plane ride a couple years ago. So here is a script for a WineLog web comic. I drew a little outline of the panels; it’s basically Kim and I sitting...

Update: No longer streaming. The plugin works great. Kim is going to make it pretty, then I’ll post to WordPress and do a right up. I’m streaming live right now while I work on a WordPress plugin. Follow me at ustream.tv/channel/stranger-studios. I’ll be working on a plugin for a feature that we’ve...

So I’m hoping the price drops a bunch so I can pick up more cheaply. Do a search here for GOOG for my previous thoughts (years old), but I basically...

I will update this to point to the latest version once it’s ready. Should see a form or download link here. Enter your...

Just testing a plugin. Ignore this.

I am currently reading The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life in bits and pieces. It’s very entertaining. This is not the type of book I would normally purchase or maybe even pick up at the library. I’m as interested in Warren Buffet as anybody, but this thing is pretty thick and...

[](http://truetastewineaerator.com/)Ward did an excellent write up on a bunch of wine aerators he tested. All of the aerators he tested worked by pouring the wine through a contraption that would basically mix up the wine with the ambient air. Ted from True Taste Wine Aerator sent us a sample of...
