Tracy Morgan – Ah to be a Clown.
Oh this is good stuff…who are these guys? I mean really…and yes, “these are the two morons behind Tracy Morgan…”
PRE PALM PRE: “Let’s keep the momentum going boys…”
Ok, so believe it or not…there were smartphones before the iPhone…in fact, PALM had made quite a few of them…prior to my owning an iPhone, I owned no less than 4 Palm devices…2 of which were smartphones…the Treo 600 and the 650…both of which were handy devices…in fact, for note taking, IMHO, they were better devices than my iPhone…which I still can’t import those notes into w/out a mod…that said…the iPhone blows the Treo away on almost all other counts…as soon as APPL made their phone available…and I managed to get my hands on one…I sold both the iPod and the Treo…because I was sick of having to carry around mulitple devices…

Avid Technology’s New Mission = The Jester’s New Clothes.
I recently received an email from the new CEO of Avid Video…it was entitled “An Update on Avid’s Business Transformation.”
I’m sorry…I appreciate the sentiment…but as an ex-Avid employee turned inheritor of a Wintel MCA HD 2.6.x, I believe the words are empty…a new mission statement is no substitute for product vision or strength/utility of code. See Guy Kawasaki’s “The Art of the Start”.
Guy Kawasaki: The 10, 20, 30 Rule.
Guy Kawasaki’s now legendary preso on his presentation axiom of using no more than 10 slides, presented for no more than 20 minutes in nothing less than a 30 pt font.
