I was having a call with a technology vendor right now, I am pretty sure I said something to this effect:
“That’s a pretty interesting technology, it’s great, but I’m not sure the market is there now. It’s like a better mousetrap… not sure it’s something people can use today or tomorrow, or for that matter, in 2008 or 2009. I mean, if you can’t get this used by the marketplace, you might as well shut down, no? What’s your back up plan? Do you even have one?“.
Can’t believe I said that. I won’t name the company because it actually is a cool product and I could be wrong… incidentally, by the end of the call we found ways we can push them in the marketplace and our ecosystem.
Wouldn’t it be funny if I tagged their name at the end of this post, though?
All right, back to work.

What did you do last week?
In 2004, in the span of one week, I wrote my second book. I always thought that was pretty insane.
In one week, last week, Michael Phelps won eight - count ‘em eight gold medals at the Summer Olympics. Some say that will translate to about $100M in lifetime sponsorship money. Not bad. Read more on our sports blog. It just goes to show how success and accomplishments are both absolute and relative… I am not sure where 8 gold medals in one Olympics stacks up amongst greatest performances and greatest athletes, but it’s in the Top 10, that’s for sure.
