For when you need to know.

Cafe

It’s either a Doppio, Flat White, or Macchiato for me.

I keep seeing these ‘iPad Disappointment’ blog posts shared and talked about.

My 2 cents:
If you want the iPad to be a MacBook: you should use a MacBook.

A river runs through it.

Bare witness to my magnificent death

Alchemy of the Souls has some excellent translated dialog

Why do sales and marketing people think all jobs are sales and marketing jobs?

Seth Godin.

But real security lies in creating value.

Sometimes a dead end job is a dead end job.

All I hear reading this is

I genuinely LOL’d at this one.

Ars Technica, Scharon Harding: “Absurd”: Google, Amazon rebuked over unsupported Chromebooks still for sale

Why is it that Google and Amazon are responsible to stop Acer, Asus, HP, Dell, Samsung, and Lenovo from selling Chromebooks with versions that are no longer supported? Shouldn’t it be “Absurd” that these companies are still making and selling devices? It’s not like they didn’t know.
