I’ve initimidated myself out of posting by writing such long posts recently. That’s about to change. I may write a long one occasionally, but generally I’ll be posting more links, videos, and shorter thoughts. I enjoy getting those thoughts from my friends and people I follow through rss from their blogs, and I think I’ll [...]
Whenever Umair Haque, whom I’ve blogged about here before, saves up some thoughts and posts them and titles them a manifesto, people take notice these.

Since then, he sold netscape to aol, started opsware in 99 [...]
Being good as a company is something I think about a lot. And since I just read these two interesting perspectives, I thought it was time to pull thoughts together.
Disclaimer: I want to make the point that I don’t agree with every single argument the authors make. I think it’s understood in the blogging [...]

There’s an incredibly educational discussion in the comments of a blog post a couple of weeks ago over at Fred Wilson’s avc. I’m a little late to the party, I know, but that’s because it took some thinking and reading on it for the idea to sink in and resonate with me, which is [...]
