Moving from Windows – My First Week With Ubuntu (Hardy Heron)
In: Linux: Desktop| Software| Technology| The Web
19 Oct 2008For the last week, I have been using Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) on my personal laptop. I can say that the experience has been mostly transparent for me, even with the need for a complete re-build last night after an attempt to install a complex theme replacement.

Web Performance: Nice Display. Now Show Me the Data.
In: The Web| Web Performance| WebPerformance.Org| branding| reputation
16 Oct 2008Today’s Web interfaces are all about the Flash (literally). Smooth charting, cool effects, callouts to references — ways to try and simplify complex data collections.
Problem-solving and diagnosis requires a far deeper dive than the flashiest interface could ever provide, because it comes down to the numbers. The actual measurements that make up the flashy chart. [...]
Web Performance: The Strength of Corporate Silos
16 Oct 2008When I meet with clients, I am always astounded by the strength of the silos that exist inside companies. Business, Marketing, IT, Server ops, Development, Network ops, Finance. In the same house, sniping and plotting to ensure that their team has the most power.

10 Oct 2008Yesterday in the Fast Company Live Fail Whale session [mention on Scoble's blog here], Paul Bucheit of FriendFeed jokingly said that his company’s external alerting mechanism was Louis Gray.
I cringed when I read that, as the last people who should be letting you know you have an issue are your visitors or customers. I know [...]

This is the year I turn 40. As a result, I am looking back upon my life, my career, and trying to determine what I do best. If I could make my life into an elevator pitch, what would it be?
I decided to take what I do right now and see how low I could [...]
Branding v. Reputation: Idea Pairing
In: advertising| branding| marketing| social media
6 Oct 2008I spent some time today pairing ideas that separate Branding from Reputation. These came from my discussion of Branding being closed-source and Reputation being open-source [here].
It’s just a start, but it’s a start.
