We are seeing a burst of activity from social platforms. Although they have become the talk of 2007, they are inevitably here to stay for the foreseeable future. Where will they take us and what will be next are the two major questions I have been thinking about lately. I try to look at where the web is going from a different perspective, so here are some rambling thoughts. China, India and...

Went riding to Coney Island with three biker buddies last night (Joe, Justin and Jimmy Trouble). We took the Ocean Parkway to the wooden boardwalk, past the Cyclone rollercoaster and...
LindzonPalloza 2008: Phoenix →
Tuesday I will be flying out to Phoenix for a week of sun and work. It will be great to get away from all the snow, slush and gray that permeates the city of New York during the winter months of January, February and March. Bright blue skies and 75 degree weather sound mighty tempting at this moment. We will be hosting the first ever Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners Golf Tournament,...
Shitty internet connection →
I hate to admit it, but I “borrow” my internet connection from my neighbors. The result is that I am constantly shifting between whatever the strongest wifi connection is at any given moment. Every damn webpage is loading slowly, I am reduced to low download speeds, I can not stream videos over the internet and skype is a waste of time. The price I pay is one of quality. I am almost...
Wallstrip and Knight's Bridge Capital Explained:... →
Today Howard is profiled by tech ticker on Yahoo Finance by Aaron Task.
Described as an “irreverent money manager” Howard describes the valuation of Wallstrip as paid for by CBS and some of Knight’s Bridge’s investments to date.
The first comment describes Lindzon as “a jerk please you are full of yourself.” Insightful commentary indeed.
I am proud...

It looks like shit outside right now. Its been snowing all day in New York City and now the snow is turning into rain/sleet and the white snow will quickly turn to brown rubbish. The cold weather will freeze this city into a ridiculous ice mess. I can’t wait for tomorrow morning! David, my little brother, sent me this video of himself in a haircut commercial. He’s a student in...
O'Reilly Money:Tech Conference 2008 →
This week I look forward to Tim O’Reilly’s Money:Tech Conference to be held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The list of speakers is impressive and the topics to be covered should be equally provocative. Speeches by Jim Cramer (The Street) and Paul Kedrosky (Infectious Greed) amongst others should provide some helpful insight into how our economy, the stock market and technology will...
New Deep V Wheel with Phil Wood Hub →
After last November’s Cranksgiving crash it was only a matter of time (and money) before I built a new front wheel. The results are impressive. Its pretty sweet to have a rock-solid front wheel. The roads of New York City are treacherous at best. Potholes, pedestrians, taxi’s and broken glass adorn the streets I ride each day. There is no space for compromise in the world of track...
Superbowl Monday: Don't be a Baby about it →
The game was watched. The Giants won and I lost a dollar. That was my big bet for the season, that the Patriots would have the perfect season. Robert Kraft was the commencement speaker for the graduating class of 2005 at Columbia University. I am not really sure what he talked about. I think I was too excited to really care. My friends and I really looked forward to the commercials. For me...
Superbowl Sunday →
Yeah, its that time of the year again. Kickoff was five minutes ago and I have no clue who is winning. If you have read my blog before, you know that I ride bikes frequently. Football not-so-much. Therefore, like millions of other Americans I am taking to a comfortable sofa, drinking beer and paying attention to the multi-million dollar ads. I heard that Obama was going to have a spot. Looking...
