    I personally like to get more than one viewpoint whenever I can, and I think The Torturous World of Powerpoint provides an excellent complement to the Art of Positioning and Presenting talk that Bill Joos gave at the Art of the Start. [Read More]

    Apparently I missed this when it went through the news, but Skype now has a Linux client. In general I have a policy against running anything that I don’t have the source code for, but I might have to make an exception to try this out. I have a few... [Read More]

  • Beginners Mind vs. Godzilla

    Posted on June 15, 2004

    The Art of the Start was fantastic. I uploaded my raw notes, and I’ll go through that stuff and clean them up a bit. There really was a ton of information presented in every session. For me, it was a great value. The audience seemed to be spread out all... [Read More]
