The Startup Life | Story Time
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love Google Reader. I also love the ease with which I can send articles I think someone might find interesting or pertinent. But my comments on the article are usually short, and a dialogue on the topic is rarely sustained. So, recently, my partners at Capesquared and I [...]

26 March 2010
This is the final post in this week’s series on Balance. Much of this week’s discussion on balance has been targeted on obligated tasks – things like work or school, projects that for one reason or another you must (or really, really should) complete. These sorts of things are important, of course, but there is [...]

25 March 2010
This is the third post in this week’s series on Balance. Perfection is the enemy of balance. In the pursuit of perfection, one ends up over-committing and mis-managing resources in an aim to reach a point that may not be realistically achievable. What is the anecdote to perfection? Good enough. Good Enough is Good Enough [...]

24 March 2010
This is the second post in this week’s series on Balance. In yesterday’s post, I spoke about how engagement was the key to balance. I’ve written in other places about the value of controlling your time through saying no to unnecessary obligations. Lest I appear to be contradictory or hypocritical, I’m going to talk a [...]

23 March 2010
This is the first entry in this week’s series: Balance. Life is about balance. It’s about balancing competing interests and motivations, commitments, your checkbook, and so many other things. Why is balance so important? Because balance is the only way that we as humans are able to manipulate our most precious, un-renewable resource: time. Time [...]

17 March 2010
This is the third post in this week’s series on Cyber War. Howard Schmidt, recently appointed as the new Cyber Security Coordinator by President Obama, was quoted at a conference sponsored by computer security firm RSA as saying that “There is no cyberwar,” Schmidt told Wired.com in a sit-down interview Wednesday at the RSA Security [...]

16 March 2010
This is the second post of a series examining this week’s theme: Cyber War. I wrote at length yesterday about retired Vice Admiral Mike McConnell’s recent WaPo editorial about Cyber War. Apparently I wasn’t the only one who found a lot to disagree with. The blogosphere has reacted swiftly to Mr. McConnell, and the fallout has [...]

15 March 2010
This is the first in this week’s series of posts on Cyber War. Cyber War has been an incredibly hot topic in the news lately. The root cause of the recent press is likely an Op-Ed piece that appeared in the Washington Post on Sunday, Feb. 28th, 2010. Written by Gen. Mike McConnell, the piece [...]
