I just received this in my mailbox:

That really, really looks like a virus infiltration attempt. Which is amazing, because although I’ve seen many of those, they always end in a .exe or some such Windows extension. This is the first I’ve seen targeted for Mac.
A quick google reveals that Flip4Mac, which is an actual legit […]

Was just checking out Roger van Oech’s site creativethink via a Scoble story and saw this great Kurt Vonnegut quote:
Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. . . . He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come […]

I get Perry Marshall’s AdWords/marketing email newsletters. Today’s had a section on entrepreneurs versus wanna-bes that I thought was really, really good:

Wanna-be’s obsess about ideas. Entrepreneurs obsess about implementation.
Wanna-be’s want more web traffic. Enrepreneurs focus on sales conversion.
Wanna-be’s focus on positive thinking. Entrepreneurs plan for multiple contingencies.
Wanna-be’s want to get on TV […]

Last week I finished up almost a month’s intensive investigation, analysis, synthesis, and creation, and planning.
We have a major product family that needed a huge refresh. The product manager for that line was transferred elsewhere in the company … and I got the file 3 weeks before a executive meeting in which I had to […]

OK, my blog is my memory, which means that you, dear reader, get treated to gems like this:
[First Rule of Marketing:] If you want to be interesting, don’t talk about yourself. Amen.
That’s from Hugh at GapingVoid, and when I re-read it today, I wanted to remember it. So I posted it.
Very simple rule, and very […]

No such luck.

Sony wants you to use their proprietary software … which is Windows only
Sony provides a sort of […]

Ever felt like the car salesman was taking you for a test-drive before you even got to touch the car?
I need a new car fairly quickly, and a Mini Cooper S is at the top of my list. Unfortunately, yesterday I had the worst car-shopping experience of my life at Affinity Auto in Vancouver.
Affinity Auto […]

If every page starts to look like this, we’re in big, big trouble.
All those links are fake links - ad links … what I’m going to call adlinks. This particular bit on nonsense is featured on /Film’s Indiana Jones story.
They don’t actually go anywhere that you might think they do, they’re only ads, and […]

I love fortuitous mispellings. Someone at Trendhunter, a social trend-following site, posted the following:
the future solider will be equipped with “intelligent amour, which remains light and flexible until it senses an approaching bullet, then tenses to become bulletproof.”
I like that - intelligent amour. This is ironic on so many levels.
