Interesting

MovableType Blog. MovableBlog is a blog dedicated to all things MT. I know it ain't easy to have a blog devoted to one topic, but it makes things easier to aggregate all... [meryl's notes]

Hubris, pure hubris

Andersen Settlement May Unravel [Wall Street Journal]

Long ago in place far away, before Andersen Consulting became Accenture, I got embroiled in a nightmarish project involving Andersen's folk and a client with a dispute. Hubris, pure hubris! The end.

Adam, we all need help!

Since the inception of curry.com and for that matter it's predecessors MeTaVerse.com and mtv.com, I've never really cared much about the style or look of my weblog. In fact, I've probably missed out on many offers of help just because I'm too deep into the writing or distribution or development. Or maybe 'cause I'm flying the chopper, but the point is I need help and finally realize it. I'm suffering from bad templatage! My weblog gets pretty decent traffic(Usernum 1014), I'd like to barter a credit link for a new template design. Must work with Radio UserLand [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog]

I still think there is a market for and an appropriate business model for a library of several hundred to a 1000 themes/templates that could be prepared by a lot of gifted designers and sold to the benefit of the owners of the site as well as the designers themselves. Apparently, designers aren't big on doing "speculative" template design with only the possibility of future returns. I know that with Radio at shy of $40, the value of this entire tool to me is such that I'd pay much more for Radio AND pay for a top-notch theme as well.

If one of the old-timers in this blogging field with some credibility can rally the designers, the business will pay! I'm confident of it. If each designer wants $5K for a theme up front, then the business proposition sinks like an overpriced rock!
