Web Performance, Branding, and Social Media
One of the lengthy conversations I have had with my wife as I work my way through understanding how my bipolar works and affects my life focused on how I think, and see the world.
I am just now coming to terms with the fact that the filters I process my world through are radically different than [...]

28 Apr 2006Rick Segal is in China at the moment, and is writing about his experience.
One question came to mind when I read this:
Next up, you run your bags through an X-ray as part of customs. I did this and the customs guy decided to open my camera bag, ignoring my computer bag and luggage. He [...]

7 Oct 2005UPDATE: Geek News Central sees it another way. They see Cogent as hitching a free ride and getting thrown off the bus finally. Either way, the bacbone providers are about to realize that they aren’t the ones with power anymore.

2 Oct 2005I have flamed two recruiters this week.
Why? Because they never bothered to read the resume.

21 May 2005Rick Segal goes on a riff about blogs and conversations, and how many execs don’t get it.

21 May 2005Tyme hits for six with this posting about how Scoble is unique in the world of corporate blogging.
I have to agree with her on her opinion. In discussing the possibility of establishing a blog at our company, the conversation between myself and the other contributor came down to one final point: could our company handle [...]

9 May 2005After pounding through a number of incredibly clearly written books in the last week, and being completely absorbed in brilliantly written blog posts, I have decided that it is time to start translating the jargon at my company.
