Apprentice TV Show = Ratings, Not Good Business.
January 6th, 2008 · No Comments
I keep hoping that Donald Trump’s Apprentice will deliver more of the insights from his book The Art of the Deal. But, the celebrity edition of the show is just more of the same. Robert Merrill has a great post on his blog about Trump’s decision to keep Omarosa over Tiffany. I couldn’t agree more. The […]

So I picked the wrong day to miss Phil Windley’s CTO breakfast. I usually make it a top priority based on the good food and excellent technical discussion. With guys like Phil Windley, Scott Lemon, and Phil Burns you’re guaranteed a lively and informative dialog on all things technology.

Swivel.com is the YouTube for data. Interesting business model: 1 part Google Spreadsheets, 1 part YouTube, 1 part graphics. I guess in this day and age you can take just about any idea and put it on the web and create a community around it. I like it. But I like the business ideas it […]

Greg Gianforte on Bootstrapping Your Company
November 29th, 2006 · No Comments
I just got the chance to listen to Greg Gianforte’s talk the 2006 MySQL User’s Conference. Greg has a great grasp of what it takes to bootstrap a company. I love the sell first, build second approach to product development. After all, if you can’t sell it, what’s the purpose in building it.
