Random thoughts, musings and things I think are interesting…

  • Can't we all just get along?

    The Manufacturer has an interesting article this month about the conflict between IP protection and global collaboration. Yes, it does feature a few of the products from my company. I see this as being the key issue that succesful innovators will figure out: how to create new ideas (through collaboration with partners/customers/competitiors) at a rate…

  • Interesting new assignment

    Sorry the posts have been slow because, but my whole team just got through with a 2 day meeting to get ready for FY2007. Generally I don’t like those kind of meetings because it ends up being a lot of short conversations where only 2-3 people are engaged and everyone else just has to sit…

  • Connecting with the blogosphere

    Not sure how exactly this worked out, but in my quest to find a mobile blogging client so I wouldn’t have to lug my PC around everywhere I tried out the new one that Dave Winer posted today (see earlier post).  As a result I am on Scripting News and got a comment from Steve…

  • The future of the factory

    This is a really interesting article about how a number of factors (outsourcing, innovation, rapid prototyping) are all going to change what it means to work in a factory in the future.  Sounds like all those blue collars are going to have to get some bleach. DigitAll Magazine

  • Funny FAQs

    Since I am in marketing, I have had to write a few FAQs in my day.  This site lists some FAQ’s taken from other sites that sound really funny when taken out of context…actually some of them sound funny even when you realize what the context is. Used FAQs

  • Upgrading the admin

    WHile I haven’t messed around with the external template of the site too much (because I have customized the default one a bit and forget how I did everything…) I did just install this wp-plugin to spiff up the admin pages.  Not something that you will see, but makes the back-end pages much nicer to…
