I found a great hotel in Antigua, Guatemala named Casa Santo Domingo. I've been to a lot of nice hotels in my life, but this one ranks near the top for its integration of history, materials, and local flora. (Yes, it does have fast Internet access in the rooms.) What does this have to do [...]
I've been getting lots of goodies lately, and I thought I'd break the mold of my blog and provide some product reviews. (Before the conspiracy and conflict-of-interest folks ask, I don't have a monetary interest in any of these companies.) 1. Yojimbo. This software enables you to create a free-form database of stuff. For examples, [...]
FilmLoop creates “looplets.” The primary purpose of these looplets was to show a sample of the loop in order to encourage people to install the loop. However, looplets now have gained significantly more functionality. In essence, they are now an end unto themselves. This means that you can use looplets on web pages and in [...]
Today's loop celebrates a perennial favorite childhood character: Curious George. The new Curious George movie starts on February 10th. This loop enables you to meet the characters, view the picture gallery, watch the trailers, download wallpaper, get the video game, and order the soundtrack. Even if you're not into Curious George, it shows how to [...]
Here is a loop of the Super Bowl ads. Click on a frame to watch the ad you'd like to see. http://snipurl.com/superbowlads I loved the Leonard Nimoy/Mr. Spock one. Previous great ads are viewable at: http://snipurl.com/previousads
Today's loop is brought to you by a member of this blog's community: Krishna M. Sadasivam! It's a loop called PC Weenies---if you use a computer, you'll love these cartoons. And, I guess by definition, if you are reading this blog, you use a computer. :-) You can point your friends to this URL, if [...]
A point of clarification to the award winners of the my loop contest. I've sent most of you a copy of The Art of the Start, and I signed them “Kick butt!--Guy Kawasaki.” Some people thought I wrote “Lick butt.” Once I autographed a book for a woman, and she asked me why I signed [...]
This is a good story. A few months ago I spoke at the Surfing Industry Manufacturers Association meeting in Cabo San Lucas. To my dismay, the speaker I followed was Tony Hawk. After our speeches, I got to hang out with Tony and set up an Airport network for us, so I asked him to [...]
By popular demand, I've made it easy for you to see the award winners by clicking here. I've also added one more award: Best Canadian family: Cameron BNow seeing the winners is easier than shooting fish in a barrel.
Much to my delight, dozens of you have posted your picture to my loop of blog readers. In your honor, I am presenting the first and last “Guy's Blog's Loop's Photo Winners.” (You know I love top ten lists, but I couldn't reduce the number of categories.) I didn't plan to select “winners” when I [...]
One of my favorite restaurants is called Hobees. One of my favorite things about Hobees is its bulletin boards where there are pictures of customers in far off places wearing a Hobees tshirt. So I've decided to create the digital version of this so that we can all “meet” each other. Hence, I've created a [...]
Yes, bombshelters. Twenty four pictures of bombshelters. Truly bizarre. May we never need them... By the way, if any of you have loops that you'd like to submit to my “loop du jour” posting, just let me know.
Check out these charts by Karl Hartig. My favorite is the consumer electronics one. It shows how long it took consumers to adopt electronic stuff. I used it in my book called Rules for Revolutionaries. I've been trying to find it ever since, and my buddy Bryan came through today. Written at: Palo Alto, California.
Starting today, once per day, I'm going to select a loop that I think is really cool. Here's the first one. Images of an Ever Changing China. Thirty eight photos that illustrate how fast China is changing.
I found a life-size photo of my next Macintosh laptop. :-) Not to mention an even greater understanding of what makes Steve such a great presenter. I made the big time: an interview on NHL.com! Written at: Atherton, California
Finally, I can stop using my Vaio for demos because today at Macworld Expo, we launched FilmLoop for Macintosh. You can download it here. This is one of the coolest applications I've ever seen. You can use it to do three things: Share photos with friends, relatives, and colleagues. Broadcast photos to customers, employees, and [...]
Dear God, Mea culpa: because one of the Garage portfolio companies, FilmLoop, wrote a Windows version of its product before a Macintosh version, I’ve had to use a Windows laptop for demos. It is one of those tiny Sony Vaios—I don’t even know the model number because I didn’t bond with it. This is the [...]
Two months ago I spoke at a marketing conference in Istanbul, Turkey. I stayed at the Conrad hotel. It has men’s bathroom with two urinals that provide a stunning view of the Bosphorus. Naturally, I took a picture of these urinals and their view. Unnaturally, I showed the picture in my speech and mentioned that [...]
I keep telling myself that I have big bones and lots of muscle mass (I hear that muscle weighs more than fat), but the bottom line is that I weigh 200 pounds. Unfortunately, I’d like to weigh 180 pounds. Coincidentally, I’m drafting my New Year’s resolutions, and one of them is to lose weight. This [...]
