  • We live in a cynical world of tough competitors . . . – FBS Blog
    There’s a lot corny about Tom Cruise’s “you complete me” dialog at the end of Jerry Maguire but the part that always sticks with me is where he says something like “we live in a cynical world of tough competitors.”  Implicit is that there’s something more to life and I’ve been fortunate to witness that this week.

    In business, as in sports, people’s true character comes out when you’re down and need to mount a big comeback.  The true winners and team players are revealed.  Scaling is the most difficult thing in the web world right now – I’ve been there many times.  This particular game might have been hard to watch at times, but I’m calling it a scrappy, come from behind win for the home team – and I’m a fan.

    Can you do this?  It’s harder than it sounds.

  • Advanced Access Earthquake Photo in LA Times – Advanced Access BlogThe “Your Scene” section of the LA Times published a photo taken after our 5.4 earthquake on 7/29/08 at 11:42 AM. The photo included is the office of Marketing Director, Gary Brackle – his office took quite a beating! Friends at Advanced Access also has a tough week – but they’re all ok.
