Morrie the Toupee Salesman

God I loved that song (apparently despite the fact that the song is ancient I still can’t see the video in Canada). Anyway my lawyer is in El Segundo, so my planned trip to Cali is going to start there, head up the coast on a train (I just loved a picture in a tourist [...]

I read a lot of books, and unlike my erstwhile partner, I actually finish them. I’ve recently read Seth Godin’s Tribes (it managed to amuse me for about an hour and a half). The fact that Scott Beale gets mentioned some 20 pages in caught my attention, as I know Scott and consider him a [...]

Continuing my odyssey through the “T” section of the dictionary… I went to a Toastmasters meeting last night. Over the years, I’ve done a lot of public speaking, starting in high school, actually, with the nightmarish “Debate” class at Loyola High School (Mr. Mukerji’s class, I recall) to my days in a doctoral program (Best [...]

Sometimes I think I’m the most trained person in the world. Along with 3 degrees, and a real strong effort towards a fourth (terminal) degree, I’ve taken a whole slew of management and technical courses over the years. Before Christmas Expedia sent me to 2 day long sessions about providing feedback to employees, something the [...]

The discussion there is mostly about entrepreneurship and technology, areas I’ve been passionate about ever since I took Entrepreneurship from “Sideshow” Bob Blunden at Dalhousie Business School. In general the attitude towards big companies is disdain – big companies have endless committees, and meetings, and meetings [...]

This is kind of a bittersweet post. I was chatting with Eli this week about process, and programming, and politics. Eli has been a huge part of the V1 project we’re launching soon, and we wouldn’t be launching it in February (or in 2009) without his contributions. Unfortunately he’s leaving us before then. When we [...]
