As the poster child of the Software as a Service movement, Salesforce gets a lot of attention from the enterprise IT press, and rightly so. Their CEO, Marc Benioff, has become the de facto spokesman for the many new companies offering their products via the web instead of loading them on a local server on […]
While listening to Merlin Mann’s pep-talk on the latest edition of the Inside the Net podcast (while shoveling snow, I might add), I decided to take a few immediate steps to reduce my information overload. I mentioned this problem back in October, but I can’t say that it’s gotten much better since then. So, here’s […]
It’s really encouraging to see a big media company finally “get” how to market on the web. This morning I saw a very interesting piece of news over at The Unofficial Apple Weblog: NBC is giving away the pilot episode of Conviction, its new court room drama, on iTunes. That in itself is fairly impressive, […]
It’s once again time to exercise my brotherly right to brag up my younger sister. Tera has been running her own photography studio, Blessings Photography, out of her home for the last several years, specializing in newborns and kids. She’s got amazing talent, but what I really admire is her ability to naturally “just get” […]
Not quite as impressive as a couple of years ago, but still – pretty cold. Update @ 7:30 a.m., Feb 17 2006: Now this is more like it!
My cubicle is now, for all practical purposes, cleaned out. I can’t believe how much crap I had hidden in this little space.

I can’t stand to hear those words in a business setting. Doing things a certain way just because you did them that way in the past is a stupid STUPID reason. In fact, I’d go as far as to say it’s the worst reason to do something, and a sure sign change is in order. […]
I posted a few new photos of Kael to Flickr on Friday night. You can see some of them below, or see them all on my Flickr page. All I can say is that it’s amazing how fast three months can go and how quickly babies change! Sorry for the radio silence the last few […]
There’s a particular cultural trend I’ve been thinking about for a while now that is probably so blindingly obvious that you’ll be questioning my sanity. Regardless, I think if offers a definite business opportunity, so it’ll be worth a review. There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who have more time than […]
I realize I’ve been a bad blogger this week, but I’ve been so busy finializing things for EduTech, making trips to Fargo for meetings, and working on a Rails application at night that something had to give. I haven’t even touched my independent study material yet this semester, but I can’t imagine doing a quality […]
