Seth's Blog: Complicit

Seth's Blog: Complicit: "Complicit

Are consumers responsible for the behavior of marketers?

Why does spam exist? Because (some) people respond to it. Why are ineffective pharmaceuticals so heavily marketed? Because (some) people demand that doctors prescribe them. Why are so many local stores struggling? Because so many customers cross the street to the big box stores."

What? Not grinding employees to the bone 10 hours a day?

Tapping the Creativity of Downtime
Web-Design Firm Uses Projects Employees Pursue in Their Spare Time at Work to Help Win New Business


These guys clearly don't have MBAs or they'd know this isn't working for them...


So he and his co-founders decided to tell employees they could pursue their own interests in their downtime, doing just about whatever they wanted, on the clock.

Software Integrity � Blog Archive � The Dreyfus Model - Back In The Spotlight?

Interesting video and thoughts in the video. I like the idea of letting coders staying coding and not move to teaching or managing to increase their value/salary.

FilmCow :: Videos and Animations

FilmCow :: Videos and Animations

I only watched "Charlie the Unicorn" 1 and 2. The first one, I read, is by far the most watched original animation on youtube.

Funny stuff. It's not offensive, but despite the name, it's not a kids video. FYI.

Horror: Internal Microsoft Vista Video is as Painful as Videos Get

Oh, I wish this hadn't been made... or that I hadn't watched it...

Horror: Internal Microsoft Vista Video is as Painful as Videos Get: ".' Seriously, how did this little slice of cringe-inducing embarrassment ever get made?"


Urgency is poisonous - (37signals)

Like in so many cases, people doing really good things do it in really cool ways. On the other hand, sweat shops usually churn out ho-hum junk by really unhappy people...

Urgency is poisonous - (37signals): "So far our four-day work week experiment is working. We haven’t found ourselves collectively wishing we had an extra work day a week. We haven’t found ourselves gasping for extra hours. Instead I feel like we’ve been more focused and working better together."

Learn how to code while making games and 3D animations w/ a graphical interface and have fun. A great way for kids to learn.

I believe Alice 2.0 uses Java and characters the Sims 2 game.

The head guy for this, Randy Pausch, was diagnosed w/ cancer in August and gave a great speech about his life.

Great tool for avoiding spam - just use unique email addresses so you're not checking someone else's (and they're not checking yours).
