Why Facebook Places is a bad thing?
Facebook places is another geo-location service, now provided by Facebook. Now combine these two things: 1) Most crime is committed by people you know. 2) Now your friends know when you’re not at home and where you are. I don’t think I will ever understand why people want to broadcast their location to the world. Maybe I’m [...]

Starting a business is not about home runs!
I was talking to my wife the other day and I realized without thinking about it, that starting a business is a lot like learning how to hit a baseball. I remember back when my father was teaching me how to hit, I wanted to really really impress him and every time I tried to [...]
Business Books and Personality Type
A few weeks ago I revisited the Myers Briggs personality test. Why? I am not sure, but this was something I remember taking a long time ago to find out why I think a certain way, and how I interact with others. I took three test, on one I came out as an INTP and [...]

Night 1 – Gatlinburg, Tennessee Gatlinburg This was an interesting place. I actually had [...]
It’s about the Individual, not The Team!

That’s baloney! The one thing that’s often overlooked by the people preaching this non-sense is Pareto’s Law (80-20 Rule). [...]

Playing The Game
I’ve become fascinated recently with Game Theory. I think it’s because slowly I’ve come to realize we are all actually just playing games, or rather, life is a game. Whether it’s business, relationships, corporate jostling, politics, or economics, just about everything in life when dealing with people is a game. One simple example is the [...]
