NetFlix competitors
April 26, 2004 – 12:00 am
[ via Backup Brain ] Jerry Kindall wants to know about your experience with NetFlix’s competitors WalMart and GreenCine.

Tokyo Story: nope, [...]

I learned from Bill Bumgarner that the iTunes Music Store now has RSS feeds. I’ll withhold comment on the markup, but hey, we have feeds.
Managing Your Netflix Queue? The Mix Counts
December 11, 2003 – 12:00 am
NYT writer Jonathan Glater overdosed on serious movies in his Netflix queue. Now that copy of the extended edition of Apocalpyse Now sits atop his TV mocking him to get over his depression and watch it. I’ve avoided the problem by running a 90% mix of ‘non-serious’ to ‘serious’ in my GreenCine queue. Of course, [...]
Covers Working Overtime

John Scalzi has a fine entry on iTMS. But that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I don’t know who Mandy Moore is. I’d never heard of her until John mentioned her cover of Joan Armatrading’s Drop the Pilot. So I fire up iTMS and look up her album Coverage. She sings Senses Working [...]
Glove Girl and the Prophylactic Disclaimer
September 22, 2003 – 12:00 am
I read Halley Suitt’s HBR case study on the anonymous blogger in a corporation, as well as the comments by Michael Weinberger, Pamela Samuleson, Ray Ozzie, and Erin Motameni. I pointed my management at the article. Then I put up a disclaimer for this site (look to your right.) Related: Phil’s comments on appropriate use [...]

Making Mistakes Well

Everyone needs to learn how to be graceful in failure. Web sites, lacking sapience and emotion, need much more help in this.
Google buys Blogger
February 16, 2003 – 12:00 am
Wowsers! Congrats to Ev and crew. And if there’s anything Google knows how to do, it’s build applications which scale to the size of the Web. And that’s going to help Blogger and Blogspot.
PNH makes a counteroffer to Salon’s deal
January 22, 2003 – 12:00 am
The best deal I’ve heard yet this year: So why should anyone give them $30 a year? Heck, for only $10 a year, I promise to give absolutely no money to David Horowitz or Camille Paglia. That’s a savings of TWO THIRDS! In other news, some 350 million Americans did not march in opposition to [...]

The underlings won’t speak well of the organization to outsiders, will be less likely to help co-workers, and more likely to kvetch over trivialities, not to mention [...]
