Walmart’s Black Friday Negligent Homicide
Hank Williams via Why does everything suck? on Mon, 01 Dec. 2008
I have always been incredibly critical of the Black Friday phenomenon whereby major retailers, and most notoriously Walmart, offer a handful of products at insanely low prices to people that are too stupid, or excited to realize that they only stock five of the items per store and the items are “while supplies last.”I am, perhaps, particularly critical because three or four years ago, readmore

The You Show
Seth Godin via Seth's Blog on Tue, 25 Nov. 2008
A friend was telling me about some job interviews she went on. She enjoyed them. Of course she did, I thought. She was starring in a show, a show about her. I wrote about this five months ago, but it's worth boiling it down to the interview or sales call level. One approach is to readmore

Rob Safuto via Awakened Voice on Mon, 24 Nov. 2008
A couple of weeks ago a good friend of mine asked me the question, “What’s going on with podcasting?” My reply was something like, “How the hell do I know?” He was a bit surprised because he knows that I’ve been deep into the podcasting game since early in 2005.

4 Reasons Why Obama Shouldn't Appoint Clinton
Michael Watkins via HarvardBusiness.org on Tue, 18 Nov. 2008
I know this is going to get me in a lot of hot water, but it has to be said. Appointing Hillary Clinton to be Secretary of State would be the first colossal blunder of the nascent Obama Administration. Why? Because you simply shouldn't bring a bitter rival onto your team in a subordinate role unless there is a compelling reason for doing so. In this case there isn't. readmore
