Rob Tercek

Robert is mackinac island mountain biking in the mist and forest above lake huron. wow.

Robert pretty skeptical about the Palm Pre. It's no Blackberry: millions of entrenched users. And Palm already lost to Apple ages ago. So what's the decisive advantage of the Pre?

Robert injured my knee (again) running. iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) . Ouch! Really ouch.

fascinated by real-time coverage of iran revolt #CNNfail #Teheran #foxfail #iranelection

people all over are demanding more from CNN and FoxNews via social media. Broadcast TV is reeling from the social media backlash

Robert amazed that Fox News has zero coverage of events in Iran, considering that they spent the past seven years braying incessantly about spreading democracy in the middle east. Oh right, these guys don't actually operate a news service. They have to wait for tomorrow's talking points fax so they can be on-message with their "coverage".

Robert pay attention to Iran right now. Twittersphere is lighting up with commentary: mainstream TV coverage has been shut down by Iranian authorities. See #CNNFail #FoxFail #Iranelection.

Robert is had an awesome bike ride: Hollywood Beverly Hills, Culver City, Marina, Venice, sta Monica, Westwood. from the hiills to the beach and back.

Today's theme was that there is nothing new happening on the Internet. So the speakers rehashed the same comments from previous years and recycled some old chestnuts. It was like an alumni...

Robert is gobsmacked watching WSJ reporters shred new MySpace CEO in front of Rupert Murdoch at D. Shows they are still "independent", I suppose.

Robert is lunch with Arianna Huffington and Martha Stewart. at D.

Robert is at D7 watching Mossberg and John Malone discuss the unbundling of TV channels akin to unbundling of the music album, due to digital tech. Jeff Zucker up later.

Robert is fascinated by Martha Stewart's real time Twitter updates from the floor of D7. Is she really here? or is she delegating to one of her minions? .
