I am not a User Interface designer by any means, but when I was confronted with this order page I immediately popped a blood vessel in my brain and stalled on what to do next. If you have an e-commerce site, and your order page looks like this, STOP.  Do not do ONE MORE THING [...]

It doesn’t work. Yes, the new Virgin Mobile Broadband in the United States using the Novatel MC760 USB EVDO dongle..doesn’t work. Their web site says you have to activate on a PC but then you can use it on a Mac.  This is false.  Once installed on your Mac, the drivers DO NOT recognize the [...]

On a hunch I went looking for some IRC stats: Sure enough, IRC usage is on a downard trend. So where have people gone? Facebook? Twitter? Other networks? I don’t see any of the “new” things replacing IRC for instant mass-communication..but yet it does seem that people have gone away.

I think anyone in any industry should apply to Seth Godin’s Don’t go to business school psuedo-internship. I may apply. I think even taking 6 months off of what we do at SMG to do it would return value beyond compare. Just show up, you’re 80% of the way to succeeding.

That is all.

A couple years ago Jeremy told me “Adversity brings opportunity” for the first time. Every time he has said that, things have gotten better from that point out. The best thing to ever happen to these companies that are laying off 30 to 40% of their work force is the economic down turn. If you [...]
