Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist Todd Chism
One of my fellow moderators on an Entrepreneur forum we both spend too much time on,Todd Chism, just got nominated by his colleagues for Entrepreneur of the Year - and made it to the final! Todd's a great guy and has built a great company selling Read More...
It's not 1998 anymore Ma
Yeah, working as a FTE does change your perspective. Way, way back I loved reading about and playing with SEO techniques - all new and sneaky. Just this month I've started looking around again at what's going on and frankly I'm stunned. All Read More...
Big surprise, you can't use Firefox
I went to renew my Microsoft Partner Program membership today before it runs out at the end of the month. For a few hundred bucks I get 10 copies of XP and Office to use around the house - there are other benefits, but that alone makes me renew each year. Read More...
Marketing outside the box
I've had a blog post from Seth Godin marked as unread for a month now, even though I've read it a few times. I'm not sure why it struck a chord with me, but this wasn't actually something that Seth said - he was just reporting on some Read More...
The Blockbuster Netflix war continues
I've posted about the ups and downs of Blockbuster before. This morning Mike points us to the latest pundit who says that Blockbuster will die within 2 years . I can't refute his findings, and if true it's pretty sad. Everyone needs competition, Read More...
Blog Action Day
I didn't intend to post about Blog Action Day , but I had to at least respond to Daniel's 5 Practical Tips : Turn off the lights when you leave the room - Check! I program in the dark like many people. There are no lights. Turn off the computer Read More...
Being different does work
I'm being slow to catch up on reading blogs since my recent week vacation - most I delete (unread) when they get old, but I never delete Seth's. So, today's read was Bought and Sold - and I remembered that this actually happened to me. We Read More...
Sorry Scott
With just one day to go, I wake up and realize that I never did link to Scott Cate's promotion in aid of Diabetes . EasySearchASP.NET is cool regardless, so it's worth checking out. (One side-effect of using this title - at least 1 in 3 developers Read More...
It's hard to let go
Before I talk about the subject at hand; Seth Godin is a genius. I still can't believe that he blogs multiple times a day and almost every one of his blog posts makes me smile and nod my head. Anyway, the blog post Loss vs. Gain struck a chord today Read More...
Starbucks toilets?
Hmmm, Dave' post was quite interesting today: Nordic Track Book Club Review: The Starbucks Experience p.73 The Starbucks brand, and every company's brand, is nothing more than the sum total of the individual actions its people take. "No matter Read More...
Web Shop Owners: read this
Very nice post by Dan: How to judge a Web Shop by its cover Dugg! Read More...
Die Netlfix
I'm looking forward to seeing how this pans out - most people I've read seems to say that Netflix rules, Blockbuster drools. I disagree ( and I'm not alone ) Blockbuster' s recent (and well overdue) improvement to their service should Read More...
No laptop for you Honey
Julie is happy to fly with toothpaste again , but I bet didn't she notice those movies at the bottom of the TSA article that she linked to.. " Male Business Traveler " " Female Business Traveler " Hilarious that women just have Read More...
Being an idiot isn't an excuse
When I lived in my last home I visited a local art gallery, and being impressed by their paintings I added my name to their list so that I could be kept up-to-date with their little bijou gatherings. Ok, I have no idea why I did that. Now I live 60 miles Read More...
Couple of shout-outs
Dave Burke has done an amazing job with the Daily News (and kudos to whoever made the suggestion for a full-time evangelist; a truly inspiring decision) - Dave posted the Fiftieth Edition today. Looking at this from a business POV, Dave has made a big Read More...
