bBlog is on vacation (and XPLANE is hiring!)

I’m going to be offline for a week or so. bBlog will return shortly after 16 July. In the meantime, check out these fine folks with online publications: Communication Nation, Adaptive Path, Guy Kawasaki and Seth Godin.

That’s right, XPLANE is hiring!

A couple housekeeping things…

I killed the infrequently-updated ROI category and moved the Venture Capital posts into the Finance/VC category. Also added a Meetings category. I’ll probably finesse a few other things category-wise in the next few weeks.

And we’re back!

The interactive crew at XPLANE has whipped up a great redesign of XPLANE.com (this would be version 5.0) and soon bBlog and xBlog will have a fresh look too. Please pardon our dust. Look for posting to be back to normal next week.

A short vacation

Things will slow down here for a week or two as we do some backend and hosting maintenance on bBlog — not to mention taking a break for the holidays. See y’all in 2007! (The link goes to del.icio.us.) Happy holidays!

The Cubes Figure Set

It’s sort of like XPLANE’s Blockhead characters come to life! “Finally, the drudgery of corporate life has been captured in a play set for adults! Bob, Joe, Ted, and Ann spend eight hours a day, five days a week, at tiny desks in tiny cubicles in a giant room packed with countless similar cubicles in a giant building filled with countless similar rooms.”

Apologies

Sorry for the lack of posts. My laptop’s logic board went wonky so I sent it in for repairs. Then I went on vacation. Came home, still no computer. We’ll resume normal posting as soon as possible!
