I sure felt stupid reading the paper.
1st time in a year, I’m sick. I used to think people with migraines were total pansies. What would impress horticulturists everywhere, a giant pansy grew in my bedroom. hmm..that didn’t come out right. I couldn’t move. In support of all the guys everywhere, yes, I did think I was dying. With all the things [...]
It Depends….on InchStones
You ask a question in the world of internet entrepreneurship..and you always get the right answer….’well, it depends’. And then your elevator ride goes from 30 seconds, the known standard, to much more. Don’t get me wrong. I love engineers. No really I do. I think there is genius among us every day…but (always a [...]
You cannot be serious!
Are Newspapers getting serious? I think yes. I’ve seen some activity in the industry, new divisions, new people, all of which is the engine for new ideas. There’s been more than a few revolutions in the last few hundred years; I think of them more like evolutions, needed change that just happens. It is often [...]
I Pity the Fool….
I listen to a few classic musical artists, one of which is Bob Marley. I recently realized that he was not a fan of PR, just like me. “You can fool some people sometimes, but you can’t fool all the people all the time” – B. Marley I read so much as I’m subscribed to [...]
Look out below….my name is PETE!
If your friend jumps off a bridge would you? I’ve started repeating this to my kids…and thinking, holy S*%T, I’ve turned into my parents. And with everything I do, it makes me reflect on the state of things in my space…I mean, my industry, dang, you know what I mean. So, I think, Web 2.0, [...]
Entrepre-poor
I’ve been increasingly disappointed in Web 2.0, however I haven’t yet lost hope for the second coming of the Internet, as many great services are being made available. I also see a lot of stuff that doesn’t really make any sense. I forget where I read this part, but I think there are too many [...]
Entrepre-neer?
Last thing we need is another mash up, but just one more on a pile of useless names only helps people (read marketing professionals) keep their jobs. I’ve always wanted to be an engineer, not a train driver, but somebody who makes stuff from known principals, whether with chemicals…ala Chemical Engineer, or mechanical things..ala Mechanical [...]
The Long Tail Phenomenon
The what? Think of the tail of a comet….it’s all business up-front and gets our attention but if you combine all the particles in the tail…it’s probably four to five times the size of the front part. Think of this in market size….think about ALL the music that is out there, being produced every day, [...]
FTC Warning against P2P – huh?
Let me start by saying, I like our government. For as bad as it could be, the internet itself has transformed the integrity of our representatives, the flow of information and has cut off the flow of politically “organized” information, keeping it raw. It has provided accountability. So, the FTC has issued the following warnings, [...]
P2P Doesn’t NEED critical Mass
This might be obvious to most of you, but I still often marvel at the simplicity of P2P. Typical internet companies have COST..they have cost to supply the storage, backup and the server capacity to handle the “hits”, also known as bandwidth. Well, P2P doesn’t have this cost, covered in earlier blogs. The largest hurdle [...]
