Pivotal’s Audacious Plan
The EMC-VMware creation makes its debut with $105 million from GE, vowing to offer cloud systems, data architectures and pattern analysis, fast. A big company out of nowhere that does this is the dream of the industrial connected Internet. Such dreams also have a bad track record in the Valley. … Read More

“Game of Thrones” recap: Helping the helpless
“Some people will always need help. That doesn’t mean they’re not worth helping.” So says Meera Reed, a brand-new character adept at throat slitting and, apparently, calling out “Game of Thrones” themes. This episode, the second of the new season, concerns itself with exactly this quote, focused both on the helpless and the helpers, those who need protection and those doing, or failing to do, the protecting.Needing help: Bran. Since we last saw him, Bran’s eyebrows have advanced into adolescence, and the make up team is probably shaving his upper lip’s peach fuzz. He’s walking through his dreams, hunting the three-eyed raven, being coached by his former protectors — his brothers and father — to not much effect. He misses the bird, which is good, since, as the teenager formerly known as Liam Neeson’s son in “Love Actually” and now known as Jojen Reed informs him, Bran is the three-eyed raven. (The three-eyed raven is remarkable to me for looking so unremarkable: All ravens could have three eyes, I would never notice.)Continue Reading… … Read More
Wall Street Journal gets a D in feminism
This just in from the Wall Street Journal: It’s so cute when girls want to go college. Bonus: that’s where the husbands are! The paper of record for rich white men has been taking an active interest in the matriculation habits of females of late, and the impression it would like you to have sure isn’t one that suggests anything resembling academic ambition or intellectual qualification.First, there was the head-scratchingly nonsensical, Liz Wurtzel-level self-indulgent tantrum that the paper ran over the weekend, by high school senior Suzy Lee Weiss. Weiss’ qualifications for gaining the editorial real estate for an open letter ”To (All) the Colleges That Rejected Me” in the Journal? Being the ”sassy” sister of former Wall Street Journal editorial features editor Bari Weiss, and having a conniption that she “failed to get into the colleges” of her dreams.Continue Reading… … Read More

My year on Match.com
Heroes come in all circumstances and ages. The prophet tells us, “Your old will have visions; your young will dream dreams.” Elderly women in a retirement community in Mill Valley protested the war in Iraq on a busy thoroughfare with placards every Friday for years. A man I know of 22, halfway to a medical degree, is pursuing ballet dreams in New York City. Some people my age — extreme middle-age — train for marathons, or paddle down the Amazon, skydive, or adopt. They publish for the first time.Me? I may have done the most heroic thing of all. I went on Match.com for a year.The thing was, I had just done something brave, which was to write a memoir with my son, tour the East Coast together, and appear on stages before hundreds of people at a time. But one dream coming true doesn’t mean you give up on other lifelong dreams. You’re not dream-greedy to want, say, a cool career and a mate. And having realized this one long-shot dream with my grown child gave me the confidence to try something even harder: to date.Continue Reading… … Read More
