Some Days Have a Theme or Two…
I swear, while browsing and blogging around it seems like some days have a theme. Today the two themes would have to be “innovate or die” and “stick to your guns”. As part of the former riff, read Jim Carroll’s rant on what he calls the “Masters of Business Innovation” degree. I wish there actually was one […]

Getting Out…
I’ve written before about Guy Kawasaki, someone from my business past. Great guy – no pun intended – truly a visionary. He’s a wuss, though, since he’d be a natural at blogging, and blogging would be an awesome vehicle for his thoughts and ideas. But, I digress…
Saw this interesting post on partnership agreements, and why […]

Circular References…
If you’ve worked much with Excel, you’ve probably screwed up a formula so it somehow refers to itself – a circular reference. One variable that you try to change references another, which in turn updates the variable you’re trying to change… that kind of thing.

Seven Deadly Sins…
From Mike McLaughlin at the Guerilla Consulting blog, a great post on “The Seven Deadly Sins of Proposal Writing”. It amazes me how many firms in so many different sectors of the economy don’t know how to write a good proposal or bid response or grant application. One big mistake is thinking the proposal does […]

I have a watchlist related to a couple of management frameworks/topics, and one of them yielded a link to a blog called “Guerrilla Consulting”. Its written by a guy named Mike McLaughlin who’s also co-written a book called […]

The Buffett is Open…
Read a snapshot of The Intelligent Investor, a book by Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing. First published in 1949, this book is touted as a favorite of Warren Buffett, the billionaire investment guru behind Berkshire Hathaway.

Boutique on Budget…
Read a great article in April’s Fast Company magazine entitled “Boutique Hotels on a Budget”. With the proliferation of smaller, higher-service hotels, someone (actually more than one, as it turns out) was bound to try to define the low end of this high end marketplace. Funny thing is, if the definition of high-end is part […]

Watch Me…
Seiko Sportura Duo Display Chronograph
Who doesn’t like a cool watch? I was browsing around the thousand or so RSS blog updates I’m behind on and found a reference to the new Seiko Sportura watch series. Very slick – several configurations, including one I’ve kind of been looking for – analog and digital with an alarm feature. […]
