Today was a great day for Seeking Alpha (ie my employer). Our content is now carried by Yahoo Finance (details here). Kudos go to Dion and Jim moreso then me. I’ve been working on Rails-ication of the back end, and also integration of some other Ruby pieces, so I haven’t really done […]
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.
- Peter F Drucker
Jakob Nielsen nails a point that has been made by many others in his most recent column on newsletters. Most people don’t know what RSS is, even though they may already be using it via MyYahoo or some other portal. The typical user doesn’t know (or care) about RSS, HTML, CSS, or Ajax […]
I’m reading The Essential Drucker, a compilation of some of the best of Peter Drucker’s writings. Drucker had a amazing ability of distilling business to its essentials. He’s writing for managers, but managers in the sense that all knowledge workers are increasingly becoming their own managers.

Yesterday I called Principal Financial for a question on a 401K I have held there.

JoeSchmoe: Oh, so will you be watching your son during the day, then??
Me: What?? No, I’ll be working from home…
Is there something about […]
Chartreuse nails another one - the full article at Know More Media.
Plus, that quote makes a great headline.
Paul Graham has a new blog over at Infogami. Its a more a typical blog compared to the essays at his main site. I’m digging this:
…There are thousands of smart people who could start companies and don’t, and with a relatively small amount of force applied at just the right place, we can […]
The always thought provoking (if controversial) 37 Signals had a post that resonated with me today on project roadmaps being too constraining. So often I’ve seen the long term goals fall by the wayside as requirements shift and everyone realizes what made sense six months ago just doesn’t make sense anymore. Or you […]
I frequent barnes and nobles (and borders) in my town a lot. When I find a good book, I’m usually too impatient to wait the shipping delay to save the few dollars via amzon. Yet I only use amazon’s site for all my online book needs. Beyond the obvious advantages amazon has […]
