the book "How to Read a Book" describes the technique in his conclusion in excellent detail. It is essentially about owning the information you are consuming. Personally I think th…

really, keep your "perks" - it is like giving a gift card. Just give me the cash and I will buy what I want.

Hewitt is dead wrong on his definition of middle men. They are there to facilitate and earn a profit. Nothing to do with lowering cost. They increase cost. Period. Frankly, I think…

Tom Chilton was a guildmate in UO. Great guy. It's cool to see him doing well.

He says this will be open shortly in the article.

I'm really sad for purely selfish reasons. My 11 year old really enjoyed hackety-hack up to the point that it worked. Likely it won't be finished now, which is a shame because it w…

I'll look at it today and see if I can get it up on the Mac

I've actually signed up my first beta customer, which will be a big step towards an actual product. We use the product for our business, but n+1 is challenging. I'm doing it though…

I've been stuck at number two for MONTHS. Analysis paralysis.

Flash is only as good or as bad (in terms of UX) as the developer(s) make it.

I've had my $400 used Aeron for 10 years at home and it is as good as new. All that time I have seen at least 5 lesser chairs crumble underneath me from normal daily use. Do the ma…

the Lego Mindstorms system is awesome. Squeak and Alice provide very approachable implementations of Smalltalk in a Turtle graphics-ish environment.

Nothing at all, you're totally right.

Is your concept search? If yes, get back to the drawing board. Seriously though, if you aren't going against a company that whose name is used as a verb in the common vernacular, I…

His grammar book is $161.42 - ouch! I bought the 50th S&W Elements. It is a nice little volume and has some good advice in it. There are certainly better style guides out there - n…

How mighty of you. You can buy silly mechanical fart machines, cds of farts, whoopee cushions, etc - all of which are many times more expensive (and less fancy) than iFart. So all …
