SNL skit was pretty funny

I have to say, I learn more about Sarah Palin from the SNL skit than the real interviews http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/27/tina-fey-as-sarah-palin-k_n_129956.html

Interesting Stories

Besides having dinner last night at the Torch Club and listening to cable executives talk about The Canoe Initiative (Canoe, dinner with Arthur Orduna at NYU Torch Club) the whole country was falling apart, at least in  Washington and what’s been reported in mainstream media – and I’m sure there’s more that hasn’t been reported.

Nature of work, being effective as part of a team

Been thinking of what effectiveness is based on, especially in work and interpersonal relationships and I wrote a few posts on the subject in 2006 at webmetricsguru.com focusing on the size and structure of small teams (I said when a small team has more than 6 people, being managed by one person, of needs to [...]

Thoughts about the last few days

I had a bunch of thoughts, ideas and goals over the last week or so and thought I would briefly mention them. 1. The IPhone is just about “there” as a blogging tool and replaced the laptop as the tool of choice for liveblogging at conferences. I did most of my posts using my 3G [...]
