I miss Dare’s blog
You can tell I haven’t been reading feeds lately. Been too busy trying to get things going at FastCompany.tv. Not sure that’ll change much this next month (I’ll be in airports at least four separate trips over the next five weeks). But I did want to come back to this.
I’m sad that Dare Obasanjo isn’t blogging anymore (I linked to Jeff Atwood’s blog, who linked to all the stuff). We haven’t always seen eye-to-eye but he made me smarter, and that’s all I can ask of anyone. He works at Microsoft and I interviewed him for Channel 9. He says he never expected his family to read his blog, and that made things more complicated (his dad was President of Nigeria, which I can imagine made things pretty difficult).
Interesting how I found out this news. It was by reading Alltop, then visiting Mike Arrington’s blog, and then visiting the trackbacks on Mike’s post.

Agree with you on this one, very sad news indeed.

Hey Scoble, why don’t you link to Jeff Atwood who wrote that post about Dare, rather than to someone who stole his post?

I didn’t know that Jeff wrote it. Thanks for letting me know.

The family thing was an issue at one point but that mostly dissipated after my dad’s second term as president ended.
PS: Thanks for the kind words.

I think he’s prepping to jump the MS ship…

I think transparency has its downside, which hits some people harder than others. I miss Kathy’s blog, and I will miss Dare’s. Glad I saw Kathy at SXSW.
