  • Visio Diagrams Updated (IBM/HP)

    +

    Visio Cafe has announced official IBM stencil collections and updates to the HP Collection.

    I wish there were more companies supporting this: Microsoft, Cisco, Foundry, Dell, etc.

  • Drucker @ Forbes via Dr. Warren

    December 9, 2004

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    I was reading my hard copy of Forbes magazine today while waiting for my plane back to San Diego, and there was an article of an interview with Peter F. Drucker {A9, Google} who is 95 years old.  Apparently Dr. Rick Warren (Saddleback Church – author of "Purpose Driven Life" book) was able to get the interview set-up. It is a very good read. 

    Key leadership areas covered in the article:

    • What Needs to Be Done      
    • Check Your Performance
    • Mission Driven
    • Creative Abandonment
    • The Rise of the Modern Multinational
    • 21st Century Organizations
    • How To Lead a 21st Century Organization
    • Prisoner of Your Own Organization
    • How Organizations Fall Down
    • The Transition from Entrepreneur to Large Company CEO
    • How Capable Leaders Blow It
    • The Danger Of Charisma>
    • How To Reinvigorate People
    • Character Development

    Here is a link to the online version.  Also Terry Storch also has some comments.

  • Mistral Restarant Pointer – Italian, Greek, Seafood

    December 8, 2004

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    We did have a great dinner last night at Mistral Restaurant, 370-6
    Bridge Pkwy, Redwood Shores, CA, 650-802-9222.  My take away on the
    theme of the restaurant is a mix of Italian/Greek with a good deal of
    seafood offerings.

  • Quick San Jose Trip (screwing up podcasting)

    December 8, 2004

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    A co-worker and I got invited at the last minute to attend some technology discussions up in the San Jose area yesterday and today.  The meetings so far have been very good and productive, but not great for freeing up any time for me to do a much needed podcast. 

    I have all the details lined up for nearly three podcast shows, but no time to do them. 😦 

    I have been trying to think of a good way to be more timely and one thought is to outsource the production part (organizing the audio clips, adding some music, doing the show notes, finding advertising options, and actually posting and managing the distribution).  This is probably one area where someone could make money for doing podcast productions for people so inclined.

    I just started to get RSS feeds from the-gadgeteer.com and boingboing.net.  Thanks to Phil Torrone over at Engadget Podcast for pushing me over the edge to subscribe.

    Speaking of of Engadget Podcast … I just finished listening to #19 (12.06.04) and there is a great list in the podcast of the lastest new phones that key players in the mobile area using.

  • Extreme Podcast Deleting

    December 6, 2004

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    I just toasted 90+ OpenPodcast.org feeds totally just over 92.8-MBs.  I can’t keep up with doing my own podcasts let alone listening to everyone elses. Argh!!!

    I did manage to listen to another Bitterest Pill, Jimmy Jett (from Friday), and truncated Daily Source Codes (iPodder errors? – bummer) during my Monday run.

  • The Written Word Thread (Kawasaki, Scoble, Windley)

    December 6, 2004

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    An interesting pattern emerged over the last week relating to books. 

    On my trip to DC last week I started to read my complimentary and signed copy of Guy Kawasaki’s "The Art of the Start."  I had sent in a couple of ideas to Guy after he posted awhile back on his Garage.com mailing list looking for thoughts.  I was shocked when he said he wanted to send me a copy of this book as a thank you for what I considered to be very limited input, and then I was really shocked after I started to read the introduction (page vii) and my name was listed in the thank you section.

    The book is very good so far (I am on page 66).  I am underlining things to do, and jotting notes into my TabletPC to remember thoughts of interest.  As someone in an established organization trying to "transform" and implement emerging technology, Guy has made sure to cover this area in the book, as well as covering areas for the complete bleeding edge entrepreneur.

    Robert Scoble is also reading this book right now, and he is apparently going to be writing a ‘blogging for business’ book via a blog in the future [Link #1, #2, #3].

    And one of my favorite weblogers Phil Windley announced recently that he just finished writing a book on digital identity management, and he is also doing a podcast now.

  • Microsoft Spaces Prototype

    December 6, 2004

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    I was suprised (sholden is usually gone on free sites before I get to them) and happy to collect: http://spaces.msn.com/members/sholden over at Microsoft Spaces. 

    It seems pretty good (minus the 1-MB picture problem I documented on the Spaces site).  It was easy to setup and get up and running.  But then again so is TypePad.

    Eric Rice has a very purple site and is testing podcasting from Spaces. [via Scoble]
