Some stuff from yesterday

Interesting article on Starbucks, from the NYT.

Goldman reports huge profits. Average bonus to be about $600k. Why didn't I get a job there? Oh yeah, it was because of the ridiculous work hours and the fact that I don't think I'd fit in at an i-bank as I am not a total ass. But interesting article.

Carl from Aqua Teen on the Mitchell Report:

Dave Winer giving some good thoughts on software design. Very interesting stuff.

A less interesting article on how much money people make in NYC.

Squidoo, Knols and Wikipedia.

And about drug addicted doctors. Lovely. Something else to worry about.

Lot of Stupid Ideas Today

If 24 took place in 1994. I remember when it was like this:



Dave Winer on closed and open platforms.

Damon Lindelof on how TV is dying.

Another stupid idea.

Social networks and such

Dave Winer on the MySpace / Facebook / Google brawl. I believe my opinions of Facebook have been made abundantly clear. Also - Facebook apparently has not been briefed on OpenSocial.

A chart of how to tell how much your web site sucks. Pretty accurate in my opinion.

Valleywag does a Web 2.0 for idiots primer.

And an update on the breaking Jakob Lodwick story... He responded to my response to his post with a "LOL." I'm not sure exactly what he was laughing at but... um... OK. Thank you, come again.

And Valleywag posts their opinion of the same interview I posted this morning. Shall we take bets on how long it takes him to reply to that? I have seen him leave comments on Valleywag before...

However I posted my name, which I have a Google ego alert set up for, in one of my other random blogs and I have not received notification yet. Interesting...
