Can you think of a good use for your own top-level domain? Rumor is you can get one for the low six figures next year. What would be a good use for one? - Choosing the right things to say no to – Signal vs. Noise
“I’ve made much more money by choosing the right things to say no to than by choosing things to say yes to. I measure it by the money I haven’t lost and the quality I haven’t sacrificed.” – Danny Meyer of the Union Square Hospitality Group
Great quote from the book Small Giants: Companies That Choose to Be Great Instead of Big. - This American Life – The Giant Pool of Money
By far the best explanation I’ve heard of the Housing Mortage and Credit Crisis. Worth an hour of listening time.

June 15, 2008- BMW’s fascinating GINA Light Visionary Model design study – Signal vs. Noise
BMW presents GINA, a new take on car design, materials, and flexibility. The GINA replaces the traditional metal/plastic skin with a textile fabric skin that’s pulled taut around a frame of metal and carbon fiber wires. Even the shape of the car can change. Fascinating and creative design study.
The video is absolutely nuts.
Beautiful quote
June 10, 2008I was just having a conversation with my wife this morning about how anxious I was – anxious to be productive, feeling like I should be building stuff – instead of just enjoying my time off for a few weeks. Then I saw this amazing quote that Om Malik referenced this morning – he attributes it to Rocketboom founder Andrew Baron:
“After Sysiphus’ boulder fell down the mountain, during his descent to get it again, his time was free for the beautiful things instead.”
Wow – let’s see if I can keep that in mind the next few weeks.

For sheer bang-for-the-buck, these cord management cards are tough to beat. They’re cheap polyethylene sheets you either stick or screw to the edge of your desk and then snap the cables coming from your computer and peripherals into the recesses. - Finding the natural size for your company – Signal vs. Noise
Popular perception holds that companies must always be growing or they’re dying. There’s either up or down, win or lose, success or failure. I think that’s a harmful dichotomy that leads to the death of perfectly viable companies in their quest for constant growth.

June 5, 2008- NDA == fail – Rethink – Home
In today’s world, an idea is nearly worthless. What really matters is execution, implementation, and details. It’s possible to take a bad idea and make it work with proper execution, but the opposite is not true. A good idea without flawless execution will always fail. - Why Zappos Pays New Employees to Quit—And You Should Too – Bill Taylor
Just what the title says.
