Continuations: Steve Jobs →
continuations:
It feels a bit strange now that I wrote a post yesterday morning about “Apple’s Glory Years,” not realizing that in the evening I would see the news that Steve Jobs had passed away. There have been many excellent tributes and I read a lot of them last night (collected here on delicious) with…

My colleague Justin Singer wrote this excellent post yesterday. I wish I could disagree, but rumblings like this scare the shit out of me.

The Engineers are Coming
nycedc:
In December, Mayor Bloomberg issued a challenge to help diversify the City’s economy and boost the growing technology sector by developing a new applied science and engineering research campus in New York City. Since then, university representatives from four continents have visited the City to learn more about the initiative. We held an information session at the New York Stock...

Republicans and Conservatives are not one half of the debate. They don’t even want the debate to happen. Their willful ignorance is not equal to Democrats’ and Progressives’ pragmatism.

Italo Vignoli’s FOSDEM presentation on promoting the LibreOffice 3.3 release. I submitted the news to Lifehacker and Boing Boing, both of which picked it up.

Continuations: Don't Compete - Change the Game →
continuations:
I know that “don’t compete - change the game” can easily be seen as kind of a trite slogan. But I still find myself in many meetings with startups where the strategy can be summed up by: our plan is to do this better than our competitors. While out-executing others is possible and companies…

In my first two weeks here, I’ve done a lot of startup-y things—setting up furniture and helping arrange the new office workspace, meeting new colleagues (and introducing some to the experience of working in New York City and the USA for the first time). My core focus, however, has been taking website suggestions from...
