We Are All Weird – So Can You!

September 26, 2011

Facebook is an average service built for average people. Microsoft makes products for mass consumption. Apple tries to get consumers to conform to their visions rather than the other way around. Milk company promoters have somehow made us believe that milk is necessary our entire lives. Each of these groups sell their wares to masses [...]

Lessons from a failure slut

February 28, 2011

There’s shame in failure. Having an idea backfire is embarrassing. Sometimes, this means you’ll feel like s***. Sometimes, you’ll cry. Sometimes you’ll bury your head so deep no one can get to you. But failure won’t kill you. It will hurt and it may linger, and you damn well better learn from it. But what [...]

Linchpin inspires food drive

November 18, 2010

I’m a Seth Godin fan. His latest, Linchpin, inspired me to do a helluva more than any book I’ve ever received. So much that I’ve given seven copies as gifts, including one to my dad. In Linchpin, Godin often mentions the importance of gifts as a way of spreading your art. We give with no [...]

The “InsertNameHere” Problem

February 10, 2010

Every company, group or team has one. It’s usually a person, but sometimes a process, but the issue is the same. They cause problems. Not normal problems, like breaking machinery or poor work, but problems like challenging authority, refusal to follow arcane rules and a general unwillingness to participate in inefficient or pointless work.

lt’s about the people, not the channel

August 25, 2009

I long for the day I’m able to actually question something this guy says. Is he a savant? It’s time for the world to realize that there’s a market for nearly everything. Scalable, hyperlocal-focused products are the new black. Social media is the dawn of the Collaboration Revolution (yes, that’s my word). It’s no fad, [...]
