Wow what a week. Started off with the new guy and then got sick at the end of the week. Influenza is a cruel virus.

It reduces its host to a nice quiet cold bed next to the toilet. Ah good times, good times.

So in just breaking and really do we care news:

Jason Calicanis decides he is done with blogging. Going back to email lists. um cool I guess. Good luck Jason! I think your are very cool and if that pans out I shall follow you down that path.

Microsoft and Icahn bid for Yahoo and Yahoo says you suck (at least no). mmm…. I think the Yahoo board of directors think they are a driving a submarine cause all they think is dive dive dive (stock market reference). Weak I know. More to come on that one I think.

Meanwhile in the real world no one can afford gas and or buy groceries at the same time. Property tax keeps rising. Thats on the negative note. On the positive side tech jobs are booming again. A wise man told me a while ago that when the economy starts to crash tech jobs are the first to go. So why the reverse? I know; I should watch cnbc more closely for that answer but I have twitter, pownce, plurk and friendfeed accounts to maintain. Shameless plug sorry.
