Seth Godin warns CEOs not to waste time on blogging. I don't think he read the post about Michael Dougherty's blog.

Jay Ovittore kindly called to express his sympathies on the death of cousin Edward. I told him that it was a little weird to see the print version of the obit, because the index listed it as "Cone, Edward," and even though I knew it wasn't me, it, well... "You saw how it's going to look when it's your turn," said Jay. Yep. 8:22:43 AM    comment []
