I received this email from “Bank of America”. It obviously a phishing attack but it sounds so legitimate and straightforward that I can easily see lots of people (including some I know) to fall for it. Scary, look: even the URL looks real: > Dear Customer: Recently there have been a large number c...

Read more →Check out this post from Influx Insights Weblog: rethinking gladwell’s model of influence. My first reaction was that indeed the paper referenced in fact refuted one of The Tipping Point’s key assertions, the importance of connectors. But I am not so sure it does now that I’ve had a little more time. Anyway, it’s worth taking a look.

Really interesting article about what is going on in Venezuela and the impact of Hugo Chavez’ policies… > “Our gain is Venezuela’s loss. These newcomers represent the human capital of Venezuela, something that Chavez, grounded in Marxist materialism, can’t understand.

I heard about this book, “Dreaming in Code”… it looks really interesting but kind of depressing to read which is why I didn’t run out to buy it. Building software is just really really hard and for some reason no matter how smart and experienced we are, projects st...
Read more →Check out this post from Saint John the Conqueror: > Much like when your TiVo “suggests” something uncomfortably out-of-character, like The View when your queue is filled with nothing but The Shield and The Sopranos, their bullseyes can leave you both uneasy and confused. Once, the spread of ads to the side of my screen contained nothing but links to drug rehab centers and alcoholism message boards. Trying to tell me something, Google Ads? Nice try, Falwell, but I don’t need the morality police wagging their fingers at me. (from: Interlude: Internet Ads)
