Several ideas worth thought....
Model misbehavior

It's easy to fail in e-business; what's hard is failing magnificently. |
| |
The Big Five music recording companies have been transcendent in this respect. |
| |
It nails the RIAA better than any other piece I've seen. |
Consume, but not freely
Cruisin'

It's also an appeal for background poop on the subject of the keynote address I'll give on the boat: The Silent Majority: How Linux Got to Be Everywhere While Nobody Was Watching. It's about the story no big company wants to tell: that Linux adoption is rarely a top-down "strategy" but usually a bottom-up fait accompli. |

If you've got anything on the subject, add it to the article's comments section, or email me. |
Separated at birth?

Heard an interview with Richard Avedon this morning on NPR. While the accent was different, the qualities of his voice, and of his intelligence, reminded me of Don Norman. The resembance was so high that at first I thought Don was the one being interviewed. |
| |
Like Don, Avedon sounds accomplished, authoritative and deeply insightful; yet not eager to make a big deal out of it. And even though neither are young men, both are also still open and curious about their work and what it means to the world. Listen with your eyes to the Norman's voice here and Avedon's voice here. Interesting, no? |

The home network is fucky this morning. Everything is rreeeaaalll ssslllooowwww. Not sure what the problem is, but I'll have to deal with it later. |
| |
[Later...] Reparking the wifi base station on a stack of books (so it could look out the window at my office) seems to have done the job. |
| |
While wifi is way cool and all, I'm still going to pull some CAT5 over here, so I've got Ethernet to the world as well. I'll need it anyway for the other computing stuff that doesn't have wifi. |
