28.Jan.2010 How Apple Effed up the iPad unveiling
Yeah, the iPad looks cool. It’s “new” and “cutting edge” and “beautiful”. But the product launch could have been better, and Steve, in all of his holiness dropped the ball. Here’s why: During the unveiling lots of sites ran live blogs and some (Huffington Post) even live streamed Job’s presentation to the masses (probably using [...]
18.Dec.2009 Quote – Gary Vaynerchuk
By 2001, we were doing about 20 million. Not bad. Not bad at all. Life was good and business was booming. Most guys my age would have thought they had it made. Then, on my thirtieth birthday, November 14, 2005, I was driving along the New Jersey Turnpike on my way to work thinking about [...]
09.Dec.2009 Dear HBO: Tell Cable to Suck It.
I love HBO. And when I have it, it dominates my Sunday night. The programming is just awesome. HBO rarely pilots a crap show (Flight of the Concords, True Blood, Entourage, The Life and Times of Tim and even Hung are all great). Not to mention Real Sports and all of the great HBO original [...]

30.Oct.2009 The best customer is a DIYer
If you work in customer service in a web-based company, the best type of customer you can ask for is a “do it yourself-er”, that shares their discoveries. Why? For a few reasons: The best characteristic of a DIYer is that they’re usually tech savvy. They’re using your site not because they’ve been forced to [...]

You might not have ever heard of Gary Vaynerchuk, but he’s one bad ass entrepreneur. Proprietor of Wine Library and WineLibrary TV, and a new wine-focused social network (corkd.com).
