Words of Wisdom from Steve

Excellent interview with Steve Jobs in BusinessWeek. He nails it and gets it and I'm printing this interview out and putting it on the wall of my office.

Read it, live it.

Web2.0 presentation files

In case anyone else is interested, I just learned that there are presentation files available for some of the Web2.0 conference sessions here at this link.

You'd Think They'd Know Better...

Amazing to learn that there are web-savvy folks out there still using Network Solutions for domain registration. Look what just happened to Gawker...

Meanwhile, I still get telephone calls, fancy expensive mailings, and emails from Register.com for a domain that I transferred away from them a year ago. You'd think they'd figure it out by now. First time the phone rang, they asked me if I knew my domain was about to expire. I told 'em, no it wasn't, I transferred it away. I was asked if I wanted to hear about some great deals going on at Register.com. I asked if they were better than $8.95 at GoDaddy. Uh, no, I was told.

Second time I was called, I got the same dire warning about an expiring domain. Told em, uh, I transferred it ages ago. Click. They hung up.

Built to Last? Not.
