Is Your Home Page Facebook, Twitter, or Google?

November 27, 2010

Image via CrunchBase It wasn’t so long ago that we all had a “home page” when we opened our browsers. Maybe it  was Netscape, or AOL, or My Yahoo,  or iGoogle. Maybe, as in my case, it was all of those in sequence, changing every year to the latest and greatest. Your home page was […]

Thanksgiving for Me

November 24, 2010

Like everyone else, I use this time of year to be thankful for everyone I have. You will notice I didn’t say every “thing” I have. And that’s because the things are fungible, but the people are not.

Does Big Company Tax Evasion Annoy Average Citizens?

November 11, 2010

This is a rant. I’ve been taught that in America, we live by the Rule of Law. This is beginning to sound increasingly mysterious to me lately. How come I have to live by the Rule of Law, but others do not? How come I have to put my dog on a leash in the […]

Seth Godin: Seeking market resonance

November 10, 2010

If you've ever wasted time at a catered affair, you know the water glass trick. Half full glass, wet finger, hold the bottom of the glass and then slide your finger around and around the top of the glass. As you move your finger, the glass will vibrate. Move it just right (a function of […]
