This week I made the decision to move my production machine entirely over to Vista. “Isn’t it still pre-production?” You might ask, or perhaps, “are you a moron?” On the former, you’d be wholly correct. On the latter, I hope the jury’s still out, but you’re probably right on that one too. I’d like to [...]

[If you read either of the last two posts in this series, Focus or Indirect Approaches, you may want to skip the next couple of introductory paragraphs and branch, jump or goto Intelligence in boldface, below.] This is the fourth of a six-post series that discusses how, when, why and why not apply military strategy and [...] Dharmesh Shah, fellow member of Feedburner’s My Way network, has a terrific post titled Selling Software: Why Free Trials Aren’t on his OnStartups blog. In the post, Dharmesh makes excellent points about how free trials are far from a zero-cost decision from the customer’s standpoint. He also points out that the success of a free [...]
A B-2 bomber flying over Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA (home of the New England Patriots) on opening day. The non-reflective surfaces of the plane combined with the fact that most of the light was coming from above it prevented the visibility of any real detail. Even the close-up pix [...] I took the plunge yesterday and installed Vista RC1. My goal was to see if I could switch to it as my primary OS. I had played with previous beta releases, but gave up on them quickly as they became too difficult to test.

The big story in the magazine: “Wish You Were Here? 35 Thai Beach Hotels Under $200″ Something [...]
I admit it, I’m a data junkie. I’m a firm believer in the fact that you can’t improve what you can’t measure. So, I measure everything I can – it’s much cheaper than getting professional help with my obsession. In cycling, my favorite activity, there are loads of things to measure in the [...]
After years of being badgered (well, encouraged may be a better word) by friends about attending various club track events, I recently succumbed to their tempting descriptions and attended my first driver education event at NHIS (New Hampshire International Speedway). My tried and true excuses about time, distance and not having the [...] Daniel Scocco over at Innovation Zen has written a great post titled, Innovation is a 2-Level Game. The post discusses how the leadership, management, structural and innovational needs of a company change over time and how those changing needs are often ignored. From the post: “For example take the Forbes 100 Index between 1917 [...] As a parent of quickly-growing teenage kids, I find myself thinking about the difficult time the next generation is going to have in keeping up with their parents financially. Eventually (I hope), my kids will find their passion - something they love to do and want to spend the rest of their lives doing. Whether [...] |
