by Charlie Wood on 09/04/2008 20:51   0 comments ,35 views
At the Republican national convention, the message seems to be "community organizing is a joke". Sarah Palin went so far as to mock Barack Obama for the community-based work he's done. Well, I just watched an inspiring video that shows...

Office 2.0

by Jeff Nolan on 09/04/2008 19:50   0 comments ,38 views

I agree with Sam, less vibration but would add that there was still a lot of mass. The companies are familiar names and what I found interesting is that there was less talk about technical and application solutions, more focus on sales and marketing challenges.

C’mon Bitch, Sue Me!

Brilliant. It is flabbergasting that the State of California asserts copyright over material that is the fruit of public taxpayer dollars… and on top of that, is information that represents required knowledge for select segments of the market. This is an interesting article about a guy that has a lot of support behind his activities.

Lowering the Drinking Age

by Jeff Nolan on 08/25/2008 23:39   0 comments ,2267 views

UPDATE: I forgot to post this link to a post on PETA that I really liked, sent by a frequent commenter who shares my head shaking disbelief at PETA’s tactics.

At first my reflexive response was against the idea of lowering the drinking age to 18 but after some thought I think I can support this [...]

SaaS is an Ancient Model

by Zoli Erdos on 08/28/2008 17:39   0 comments ,149 views
Lots of talk today about how the SaaS market will ‘collapse’ in two years.  I don’t get it: if it survived 40 years, why would it collapse now?  Yes, that’s right, SaaS has been a successful model for 4 decades now. Need proof?   Check out Technorati linking to my post on the NetSuite IPO 11119 [...]
