I don’t know what to write about yet, perhaps the co-relation between blogging and ideas. I attempted a similar post last week, and restricted it mostly to differing learning styles. In short, some people (me) learn as they write, some as they hear, some as they see, some as they speak. As a human being, [...]
Positioning is a marketing concept that is expressed through verbal, numerical, and visual cues. As such, it is easily identifiable, if you know what to look for. But the fun is less so, if you try to do it yourself. Let me give an example of what positioning is. Last night, I’m waiting for a [...]
We’ve got a pretty tight team this year, much like last year, but with some changes. I’d like to write a little about team-dynamics and what I think that works, without getting into details, if possible. What I previously wrote about teams is plenty. I met Jeremy when we did a project analyzing what teams [...]
My partner, Graham, is a bit of a wonder. He’s been in “the biz” of telepresence for some time, starting as an inventor / artist and really being part of the core of how to connect remotely to someone else since the 80s. With my company, AquaCinema, too, he’s worked with some key-players in VR [...]
Last February, I was in Silicon Valley for a week thanks to a course I was taking. Here’s a summary of what happened there. UC Berkeley: Center for new Music and Audio Technologies. Prof. David Wessel showed us a new instrument that was basically 32 touchpads. Each was connected to a sample loop and the [...]
My general stance these days is that, no matter what context you talk in with people, you should always assume a complete lack of imagination. Instead, by either spelling it out, or better, by asking the best interview-question in the world ” tell me about YOU!,” and then extracting what you need from that, is much more effective.
Looking back at your own writing is hard. It made me take a day’s break (that and lack of sleep) and wonder about whether life (on Tech IT Easy) was worth continuing. It made me question my ability to maintain this blog. Etc. etc. Recaps = hard. You get the idea. But the other thing [...]
Rule 101 of blogging: Never write about how you’re planning to lead your life. In my experience, this process of externalising your thoughts, as opposed to internalising them, often leads to people shoving it away from their minds. So, rather than going to deeply into the sh^t that I have to deal with myself, and [...]
Just finished a project, which gives me a few days to reflect, work on my personal business-plan, aka career philosophy, and write blog posts about pricing and stuff. A few months ago, I purchased the second edition of the book “The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing.” It’s a really good read, though also a complex [...]
