I’ve been using Windows Live Writer to create blog posts for a few weeks now and I really like it. It’s still in beta, though, and like any beta product, it has its bugs, quirks and incomplete features. None of these prevent me from creating posts fairly easily and the beta product has never [...]

Harvard Business School published a terrific article last week on management titled, On Managing with Bobby Knight and “Coach K,” which delves into two very different management styles; how these divergent management techniques can both be successful and how one’s management style is heavily influenced by what kind of person they are. The article goes on to explain [...] John Dvorak’s Inside Track column in the August 22, 2006 edition of PC Magazine contains a fascinating tidbit about the amazing advances happening in lighting. We’re talking basic illumination here – run-of-the-mill light bulb replacements. Apparently, LED advancements have been coming fast and furious. LEDs can now produce 133 lumens/watt. As a comparison, incandescent lights [...] I just ran across Jeff Bussgang’s post titled, VCs Blink. Jeff’s post discusses how Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Blink, relates to the world of venture capital.

So, if you’d like a one-stop-shop of blogs about and by entrepreneur’s, you can subscribe to the network rather than [...] At the All-Star break, the Sox were the third best team in baseball, behind the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox. They were three games ahead of the Yankees and had a winning percentage of .616 (yeah, it’s a game of statistics). Since the All-Star break, they’ve gone 11–13 with a winning percentage of .458. [...] Contrary to how rational and formulaic I may have seemed in my post, When to Get Rid of the “Best” People That Work for You, firing people in a timely fashion has always been the area where I’ve demonstrated my greatest management failures (I’m sure that many who have worked for me might suggest a long list of other [...] |
