“While everyone from Warren Buffett to Arthur Levitt says that it’s important for individual investors to read the footnotes in annual and quarterly reports, nobody has ever written a book that spells out exactly what investors need to look for.” And there’s a web site too.

“I get an awful lot of e-mail. Sometimes, people are looking for help with their computers. Some of it is fan mail. Other folks are mad about something I said or wrote. Add to this the barrage of press releases and an occasional blast from the past when a former classmate or ex-boss drops me a note. After facing this tidal wave of electronic words for several years, as well as owning my own business, I’ve developed some strong opinions about e-mail and correspondents.”

“On December 14th, 2005, Peter Jackson’s remake of King Kong will be released. The studio behind the film (and the whole Kong franchise) is Universal studios, which has been somewhat overzealous in recent years to go for every tie-in and merchandising dollar (even as I documented earlier for The Cat in the Hat and The Hulk). With Kong, they’ve pulled back a trifle*, but there are still amazing amounts of Kong-related stuff out there, with more to come. Major partners include Volkswagen, Toshiba, Burger King, Nestle, Kellogg’s, Chase bank, the City of New York, Pringles, and the New Zealand Post.”

Many books on time management recommend the practice of thinking of each hour of your time as being worth a specific quantity of money. It’s an extension of the ‘time is money’ concept… I’ve spent a lot of time considering this paradigm, and at present I have only one problem with it. It’s stupid! It’s possibly the stupidest paradigm you can use for income generation.”

“Create your own Web 2.0 Company. Below you will find a pre-created VC friendly Web 2.0 company just for you! Hit reload to create another potential million dollar idea… this is just a little programmatic satire. Any semblance to an actual company is purely accidental and not intentional! It’s supposed to be funny :)”

“As a follow up to yesterday’s post on Bill Gates’ presentation style, I thought it would be useful to examine briefly the two contrasting visual approaches employed by Gates and Jobs in their presentations while keeping key aesthetic concepts found in Zen in mind. I believe we can use many of the concepts in Zen and Zen aesthetics to help us compare their presentation visuals as well as help us improve our own visuals. My point in comparing Jobs and Gates is not to poke fun but to learn.”

“What’s it like to work at your company? Is anything beyond 8 hours a Big Exception, or does leaving at 5 PM evoke the ‘working a half-day again?’ crack… In all my various jobs, from independent contractor to start-up employee to one of the thousands at the big monolithic tech company, I’ve worked in every conceivable tech scenario. But the worst are the ones that become slaves to their clients–often driven by the fear of losing one. And fear leads to underbidding. And underbidding leads to… pulling all-nighters to make an impossible deadline on too few resources.”

“If you’re like most people, you feel as if you are rational and logical, and most of the rest of the world is not. If you’re right about this, then most of the world is illogical. If they’re right, then you’re illogical. The fact is you’re both wrong: neither you nor anyone else is as logical as you think you are.”

“…an interactive model reconciling the values lead and follow, implement and innovate…”

“Has Google disrupted the businesses of Yahoo and Microsoft? Yes! It got me out of bed to write this post. No, that’s not the disruption I’m talking about (I’ll hopefully be able to take a couple of days off of blogging unless someone else announces something cool between now and the weekend).”
