Dan Grover � Toward a Grand Unified Theory of n00bs

Dan Grover � Toward a Grand Unified Theory of n00bs:
"The reason we're all talking about it is that last weekend, it momentarily showed up on Google results pages for the phrase 'facebook login.' And lots of people clicked on it, thinking it was Facebook's login page (when it was clearly an entirely different site). They wrote comments on this post demanding that Facebook change its login page back. You know, to the pretty blue one that said 'Facebook' at the top instead of 'Read Write Web.'"

Notational Velocity: "NOTATIONAL VELOCITY is an application that stores and retrieves notes.
It is an attempt to loosen the mental blockages to recording information and to scrape away the tartar of convention that handicaps its retrieval. The solution is by nature nonconformist."

Pleasing Wall Street is a Poor Excuse for Bad Decisions - Is the U.S. Killing Its Innovation Machine? - Harvard Business Review: "In such situations, you either have to replace a huge proportion of the managers, or, if the company is in terrible shape, just let it go under. I'm skeptical of bailing out failing companies largely because the people entrenched in those companies missed obvious signs of impending failure, and it is unlikely that those same people have any idea why they failed."

RenderMan@20: Ed Catmull and Dana Batali Reflect On Pixar's Killer App | AWN | Animation World Network

RenderMan@20: Ed Catmull and Dana Batali Reflect On Pixar's Killer App | AWN | Animation World Network: "'In some sense, tweakability means that you can program the local laws of physics to your own requirements. That's always been the basis of a RenderMan-centric pipeline. We have to be able to program everything. You don't want to program everything, but you have to have that option, and that's really why I think we're on pretty firm ground. We have to provide 'back doors.' The art of illusion is the art of programmability.'"

My Computer Repair Shop Numbers - pcrepairs's posterous

My Computer Repair Shop Numbers - pcrepairs's posterous: "I've been doing quite a few (mostly) pro bono computer repairs for friends, friends of friends, and family for the past few years. That, obviously, ate up a lot of my time and I saw little benefit from it. So, I decided to start a computer repair shop this past fall. It's not your typical tech-based startup, but a startup nonetheless.

I've been seeing consistent growth month to month. Most of my revenue has been been from virus and malware removal. I coupled the virus/malware removal with an antivirus installation service for $19 and most people gladly paid it."

The Transom Review: Ira Glass

The Transom Review: Ira Glass: "Ira Glass's Manifesto, Part One

Rather than talk about radio in a Big Picture way, I'm going to start with some simple things that might be useful to the radio beginners who come to Transom. I'm going to try to avoid repeating things I've said elsewhere about making radio stories, but I'm guessing some repetition is going to be inevitable. Elsewhere on the web you can find an old (and deeply edited) speech about making radio more fun here. There are some pages from the This American Life 'How to Make Radio' comic book here."

By Ira Glass

I want to talk a little bit about making radio stories and how we do it on the show that's different from what is perhaps traditionally done on public radio.
No. 1: Seeking pleasure
No. 2: What we're all used to
No. 3: How we structure a story

No. 7: The 45-second rule

No. 12: How do you find these stories
No. 13: Mission"

Presentation Zen: Ira Glass:Tips on storytelling

Presentation Zen: Ira Glass:Tips on storytelling:

"In storytelling there are two basic building blocks, says Ira Glass:

(1) The anecdote, a sequence of actions, a story in its purest form, one thing following from another.

(2) The moment of reflection. What is the key point? What does this all mean?"
