My blog was quoted in an article published in the August 2003 issue of International Journal of Entreprenuership and Innovation. The article is called Internet Review: Entrepreneurial blogging. The full article isn't available online, but it's a good quick read. The Director of IP Publishing, John Edmundson, was good enough to send me a copy of the Journal and I must say the entire thing is quite readable for an academic journal. The author, Lew Perren, quoted a blog entry of mine in full in his article. He also quotes from Greenlightwrite.com and StarshipTim.com twice.

Mr. Perren writes a column entitled "The Internet Review" for each issue of the Journal, and in this one, his purpose is "to open the eyes of researchers, policy makers, and entrepreneurs who have not considered the value of blogs." Mr. Perren goes on: "Some readers may view blogs as data resources for a discourse analysis; other as providing helpful pointers for entrepreneurs. Whatever the view taken, they provide fascinating chronicles of entrepreneurial lives and the potential for new insights into entrepreneurial experiences."

Good . . . Grief.

The Trademark Blog reports that the owners of the Dewey Decimal System are suing a NYC hotel for trademark infringement. A must-read. [Scripting News]

Not only that, the owners of the System "only" want triple the profits of the hotel, from the time it was opened, as damages.

That does it. I'm trademarking my name. From now on, whenever someone sends me a "Bill," I'm suing. For triple damages.
