Shalom Salaam At work today, I've been listening to Ziggy Marley's "Dragonfly" release.

Nice headphone groove to write code by. I really dig the fifth track, "Shalom Salaam" ...soulful, reggae and a message so pertinent to the days we live in now.

Black Sun to open for Yngwie Malmsteen Long time Bay Area axe-slinger Thaen Rasmussen's current band, Black Sun is set to open for Yngwie Malmsteen. Those of us who frequented the metal scene way back when may recall Thaen's legacy effort, Anvil Chorus, and their opening gig with Yngwie. Yep, I believe that show at Wolfgang's in San Francisco was over twenty years ago, 11/19/1983! ( Feb 21 2004, 12:09:30 PM PST ) Permalink

Technorati

Who?

I'm Ian Kallen. I'm an entrepreneur and technologist working on Blockboard. My technical interests are focused on mobile, location, cloud computing, big data, real time event systems, search, devops and agile web application code. I'm a long time open source enthusiast and enjoy right-sizing code architecture and infrastructure with the scope and stage a technology startup is operating at.

Previously, I was an independent technology consultant. Prior to that, I did a long stint with Technorati leading the Core Services engineering group in architecting a backend to support search and exploring the web as it changes in real time. I have an eclectic background in technology, publishing, social software and ... life. I like to think: well rounded. I have been online participating in virtual communities since 1988 and developing online resources, services and systems as well as enterprise software since 1991. Once in a while, I have time and inspiration to blog.
