...Geoffrey Moore, a managing director at TCG Advisors in San Mateo, Calif., whose book, Crossing the Chasm, has shaped Segway's strategy, raises other concerns. There's simply too much "pain" associated with its use, he says, to make the gains derived from owning it seem worthwhile. Average consumers, he explains, will worry about such things as the etiquette of Segway use. (Where can it be driven? Or safely parked? Can it be brought into the office? Left in the lobby?) Though any one such concern is minor, he says, together they have a multiplicative effect. "It's like Gulliver...
Living small is hardly a new concept. Henry Thoreau tucked himself into a 150-sq.-ft. house on Walden Pond in the 1840s, and the city of San Francisco built some 5,600 earthquake cottages for survivors of the 1906 temblor. But over the past decade, dozens of architects and builders have begun specializing in tiny-house designs. And home buyers--motivated by the desire to simplify their lives, use fewer resources and save money--are falling in love with the little things.

Good representatives can also be found at Crémant and Le Pichet in Seattle, the Slanted Door in San Francisco and Lou in Los Angeles...
...Penn, who helped organize the event, said he had heard of Ganji constantly when he visited the Middle East and wrote up his trip as a five-part series for the San Francisco Chronicle. "I like anybody who makes me say what I think - he does," said Penn. As the discussion ended later in the evening, the Hollywood crowd mingled around, soaking in all that they had heard. But at least one person in the room had another agenda in mind. "Let's go see Warren Beatty!" said Ganji's interpreter excitedly, as she corralled her charge...
