  1. Viddler + MeToday = iPhone

    I didn’t wait in line for an iPhone today. Largely because I’m on a great MyFaves Family Plan at T-Mobile. Oh, and I love my Pearl. But, today I’ve started something I attempted to do back in January: a daily video blog. Why? a) I hate failing and b) my favorite guys at Viddler are [...]

  2. I’m worried too…

    Danah Boyd has written some awesome papers. Her latest on social class and online social networks came to a good (tangent) point: With the hegemonic teens, I’m very worried about the stress that they’re under, the lack of mobility and healthy opportunities for play and socialization, and the hyper-scheduling and surveillance. I’m worried about their [...]

  3. What’s in a name?

    Andre wrote an interesting article on naming products yesterday. This is where I step in and argue the opposite: names don’t matter.

    I just finished one of the best un-business business books by Yvon Chouinard, founder and owner of Patagonia: Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman.

  13. Can I get part-time benefits?

    This article also appears on Employee Evolution: The Voice of Millenials at Work. One of the more annoying traits of being a part-timer (or hourly worker) is the lack of benefits. Now, in most cases you’re not entitled to these benefits because you don’t work hard enough. Economically speaking, I don’t contribute to the company enough [...]
