Guys, let's figure out what we're doing and do it.

suitsandboots:
I see too many dudes every day who have no idea what they’re doing: guys who have no idea how to dress, how to drive, how to lift weights, how to eat/drink, how to sit, how to listen, how to speak, how to spell, how to write, how to think for themselves, or how to even live their lives.
I very, very rarely meet a fellow gentleman and then later think to myself, “He...

Middle Men
Found this nugget on Gruber’s blog.
Joe Wilcox on Microsoft’s Glut of Middle Managers
Insightful reporting based on interviews with current and former Microsoft employees:
“When I started at MSFT in 1996, there were six people between me and [Microsoft cofounder] Bill Gates,” Boris said. “In 2009, there were 13 people between me and [Microsoft CEO] Steve Ballmer.” Fred said, “the number...
Lyons Has Seen the Google Buzz. Lyons is Not...
newsweek:
His take:
Why, Google? Why take a perfectly wonderful email system and pollute it by adding a zillion new things to it? I’m not looking for more clutter in my life. I’m looking for less. At the launch event some Google exec claimed Buzz is a way to “find the signal in the social neworking noise,” but to me it just looks like Google is adding to the noise.
Why does Buzz even exist?...

Apple's iPad: For what Audience?
52weeksofux:
After years of speculation, Apple finally released a tablet computer yesterday called the iPad. There was fanfare! There was rejoicing!
There was also much criticism: everything from it doesn’t have a camera or USB port to it doesn’t support Flash or HDMI out to it doesn’t let you multi-task. In 24 hours we have dozens of reasons why the iPad will fail in the marketplace.

Why Tumblr Is Kicking Posterous's Ass →
brianvan:
jayparkinsonmd:
How come Posterous is eating dust from a small startup started by a high school dropout?
The answer is as easy as it is counter-intuitive: Tumblr is a New York company and Posterous is a Silicon Valley company.
Or, to put it another way: Posterous is an engineered product, while Tumblr is a designed product.
But wait! How come Tumblr works in NYC if there aren’t...

Whoa, I must see this.
This does look good, but it’s the kinda stuff that makes me want to inflict these cruelties on the offending humans. More about the film here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cove_(film).

Game Changed?
brianvan:
If an 8GB iPod Touch (equivalent to an iPhone 3G in everything but having-a-phone) is now $199 retail, and if you could soon use Internet calling apps on it (jailbroken or not) as long as you could grab WiFi, then… why even get an iPhone? You’re under contract, AT&T pumps $100 out of you every month for the privilege (few people get the $70 bare minimum plan + tax), their network...

GM Reinvention. My unpaid focus group contribution: if this reminds me of anything, it’s of the type of commercials created for secretly evil corporations in the movies. It’s so blandly reassuring that the truth must be devious. “We’re going to rebuild GM. And we’re going to do that with the souls of a million freshly slaughtered puppies.” The various references to bankruptcy (some...
