Anyone know of a good Windows SmartPhone?
Palm continues to implode. Apparently the amazing broken Treo 650 (You know, the one with the new advanced filesystem that doesn’t allow users to transfer all of their information?), has just gone up in price by $100. [here]
Oh well, it was a cool company once… -
GMail Invite Extravaganza!
Ross over at Strategize now has 50 (fifty) GMail invites.
Woah! If you need one, see him. I have mine. -
Killing your brand, the NHL way
Hallejujah! Someone else gets this.
Maybe we should all throw our money into the Free Stanley Movement. -
Just in time for the Weekend Job Listings
Halley Suitt provides us with two articles on Dysfunctional companies.
3 signs of a dysfunctional company
Negotiate a peace agreement with your boss
Some day I will relate the tale of woe and misery that surrounded the bully manager that I had to suffer with for over a year, until he was released in disgrace from my former employer. He was perhaps the finest example of humans who should not lead. -
Important Products you have never heard of
How many of you out there have bought something from the Goya label lately?
We do almost weekly. We are addicted to their Fruit juices (apricot, guava) and they make great products to fulfill our need for Mexican food.
Why haven’t most people I know heard of them? Well, for one, their products appear in the “international” or “ethnic” aisle of the supermarket. Why? They are as good if not better than the stuff that most people buy from the regular sections.
A tip: try a new brand every week. Walk down that aisle of the supermarket that you never go into. You may be surprised.
There are other markets that we can all learn from. -

Only a year behind…
Glad to see the competition is about a year behind where we are.

“Where everybody knows your name…”
Be careful what you say and who you say it about. Thomas Mahon, the hottest new blogger, was “dressed down” by one of his former “colleagues”.
Thomas then dispatches the cad with some of the sharpest words I have heard for many a year.
Bravo Thomas…too bad I dress like mountain climber after a hard week; I might mortgage the house for a fine suit by this master of the blades.
Thomas mentions in his post that Savile Row is quite small. It is. For those who have not had the pleasure of being there, it is a tiny street, a stone’s throw from Green Park, Near Berkeley Square. I know this because I accidentally stumbled over Savile Row during a jet-lag induced walk at 2AM a few years ago.
I was stunned when I realized where I was. Someday I hope to take the ZenWife there. She has formal training as a pattern-maker and designer, but has been sidelined due to Visa issues, two kids, and chronic carpal tunnel in both arms. She would probably be astounded to watch a true master at work, and it would be like me getting 10 minutes with Tim Berners-Lee or (rest in peace) Richard Stevens.
