Hutong Rush

Cleansing my home of all things leavened
2011 hrs.
You may have noticed a bit of an increase in
activity on the Hutong of late. That's not accidental. There are six new posts
below from the last 48 hours, as we are coming up on Passover and I will be
therefore in the Hutong but away from the computer for 5 days out of the next 9.
Since clients have to come first, I'm saving that other time for them, and I
appreciate your understanding.
In the meantime, I want to update you on a couple of cool things happening in the Hutong:
1. Our sister site, The Peking Review, is getting updated more regularly as well. If you haven't stopped by yet, give it a look and book it into your newsreader. I'm moving my growing list of reviews of books, articles, websites, and the like over there so I can keep Silicon Hutong relatively focused.
2. One of the strategic shifts that is taking place in the technology industry is the growth in innovation and activity around sustainable and environmentally friendly products and services. There is a lot to take in around these subjects, and I'm hardly an expert, but I'm learning. I want to share this learning process, and I will be doing that in a new site to be called EcoHutong. I've also added an "EcoHutong" category here in this blog for cross-posting some of the more analytical pieces. Watch this space for more announcements.
3. While the orange and black colors are fine in small doses - like my company logo - I'm getting a little tired of seeing them on this site. In addition, the features available to me using iBlog (fine software, but last updated in 2005) and hosting on .Mac limit me in the ways I can format my site or make it more readable/useful. Short of taking time neither I nor my colleagues James and Sunny don't have to learn HTML, I need a new solution. If you have any ideas of a good blog services provider that a) I could use on a Mac, b) won't cost me an arm-and-a-leg, and c) does not habitually get blocked by the Network Nannies in China, I'd be grateful if you could let me know, either via comments or to my e-mail (david@siliconhutong.com).
Meantime, if you're celebrating, have a Happy Easter/Passover, and thanks again.
