Bill Gates vs. John Nash
February 20, 2007 – 7:21 am
It is arguable that Apple was more innovative with technology prior to Steve Jobs’s return to power. He dissolved the ATG, home of the original Cocoa, and Apple Data Detectors, and famously axed the Newton, continued development of which might have given us the iPhone as a platform years ago.
But the Newton’s brand had […]

I don’t order books online often. When I do, they’re typically gifts for others.
It’s not that I don’t read dead trees, I just prefer to browse in a bricks-and-morter store, even though I usually know what I’m looking for and don’t need to review before purchasing. Fond memories of childhood hours spent in […]
Seppuku 2.0
September 25, 2006 – 9:04 pm
Sprout Commerce has figured out how to commit suicide in the Web 2.0 ecosystem.
Immediately after Pete Cashmore’s glowing review in April I began using MyPickList to manage my wishlists, rather than using the “buy” tag in del.icio.us as I had before (and limiting myself to items that have records on Amazon.com is so Web 1.0).
Imagine […]
Meat-based web services
August 25, 2006 – 3:25 pm
Amazon’s Mechanical Turk is one of the most interesting new business models this year. The concept of a task-completion marketplace is not too innovative, but their model of qualifications and exposure of web services certainly piques my interest. Only time will tell if they can fill their chessboard with enough Schlumbergers to keep […]
How Marketing Will Save Itself
July 25, 2006 – 12:27 pm
This morning’s ad:tech keynote was by Hunter Hastings, of EMM Group.
Hunter is very professor-like, and a bit too preachy. The two points of his presentation are compelling:
Engagement as the new measure of success
Metric-driven processes oriented marketing
Left unanswered, though, is how affordable and accurate engagement metrics might be collected. His call for an industry […]

Dave Thomas has a great presentation (that he somehow seems to enjoy giving despite doubtless hundreds of sessions) on the progression of people from novice to expert.
Great subtitle quote: “People improvement trumps process improvement”
Mostly, this was an application of the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition?. As Dave so eloquently explains, the model tracks a […]
Expert Panel
March 19, 2005 – 12:00 am
My notes from the NFJS? expert panel, which was not as good as 2004 but still fun:
Ben Galbraith spoke about the uncertainty principle and paradox of choice. Advises that architects choose something that works, and don’t get distracted by the latest shiny framework. The best choices for your project will not be those […]
