New CW Show Coming – Gossip Geek
Based on the news over the weekend, I’ve come up with the idea for a fun new show that only CW could love, called Gossip Geek. The setting is a high school somewhere in Silicon Valley. The primary actors are:
Male Leads
Microsoft – the creepy guy who graduated from high school five years ago, but still [...]
Joel the Whiney Bitch
Well now… Someone’s blogging when they should be drinking. Seriously Joel - get over yourself. How many bug tracking systems do we really need?
Two entertaining rants for the price of one. I would have expected Joel to remember the business model that he used to work inside - Darwin wins at [...]
Evaluating Career Opportunities: It’s Not Just About the Numbers
Here’s a really interesting article from Heather Leigh, a recruiter at The Firm. You owe it to yourself to subscribe to her feed - there’s some excellent career counseling going on over there…
Here’s an article I wrote recently for Pragmatic Marketing, which appeared in their February newsletter. Thought I’d reprint here and share a little [...]
Bill says Bye…
This is a classic, shown during BillG’s CES keynote. I’m amazed at who was willing to participate, and Bill’s willingness to poke fun at himself.

I was on a campus recruiting trip last week, and met with undergrads, grad students, and PhD candidates - almost all in the CS program. In this day and age, it amazed me how the most expected questions seemed to cause the most anguish. OK folks - here it is. My list of questions for an [...]

Let’s *meet*
I’m in LOTS of meetings lately. Beta release planning, next version planning, daily check-ins, Vista updates – you name it, we have a meeting for it! Lifehack has some good ideas on how to manage meetings more effectively. During my recent long bicycle ride, a friend turned me on to “Death By Meetings”, a book [...]
Pssst…. Want in on a beta?
I’ve been fortunate enough to get to work on a project that’s become near and dear to my heart for the last couple months, and now we’re making it available for you to try. I love having one app to read my hotmail email, my POP email, my IMAP email, my gmail email, my 185 [...]

Microsoft - Where’s our Lou?
My first job out of college was with IBM in Houston, TX. The consent decree was in full force, and John Akers had been CEO for four years.
