Was interesting to google my name and see a link to this page on egoSurf just 5-6 items down.
Looks like egoSurf is making all past searches part of their website content, probably in static spider-able pages. Very, very smart. Now amazingly, incredibly, their site’s content from a search engine’s point of view is growing by […]

I am getting a little envious. How can this guy be so good - virtually every single one of his posts is gold.
Here’s a piece of a recent one:

Judge others by their intentions and yourself by your results. If you want to be at peace with the world, here’s what you should do. When you […]

OK, everyone knows: Google is selling out.
China is big, China is profitable, China wants control over communication and transmission of ideas. Google is big. Google is profitable. Google, whose original purpose was to enable easy access to all the world’s information, is helping China censor communication and transmission of ideas.
And the rather idiotic “don’t […]

I’m sort of in the market for a design tool that will let me have some fun with home design and architecture, and there are two tools that appear interesting right now.

I recently posted a tribute to Henk Berends, the retiring chairman of our company.
Today I actually delivered the speech, after making some changes, and I’m really, really, really relieved to say it went over extremely well.
The difficult thing about this particular speech is that I wanted to imitate his fairly inimitable speaking style, and so […]

I just found out via drupal.org that there’s an open source content management system summit in Vancouver, BC, February 9-10.
Very cool!
They’ll be talking about Wordpress and Drupal (see my recent article comparing them on a very shallow level) among other things.
And it looks like Rasmus Lerdorf is going to be there. Rasmus, of course, is […]

I’m looking for a way to manage several blogs at once, so I’ve been investigating Drupal just a little.
I wouldn’t need to manage the blogs within Drupal, although that could be done, but I would like to aggregate their posts on one page, which would then become my home online.
Since my web host has a […]

Vancouver Web 2.0 forum has started a weekly blogger interview series … all featuring bloggers from Vancouver, of course.
This week, they’re featuring Jeffery Simpson, who writes at a variety of personal and multi-author blogs. Jeffery needs a new pic for his site and should apparently never venture into another elevator ever again. (Well, at least […]

I ran across this quote recently:
“Value innovation is about making the competition irrelevant by creating uncontested market space. Beating the competition within the confines of the existing industry is not the way to create profitable growth.”
