"For me, The Art of War, is a constant companion. If you accept the principle that business is ultimately about managing conflict and competition, Sun Tzu may be the greatest CEO ever. Understanding landscapes, strategic planning, tasking and reso…" [Nov 28 2007 09:47]

"Writing this was a lot of fun. Matt's an affable guy and Tira has a well constructed business model. I'm fascinated by the conceptual overlap between Tiras' Jumplets and the intelligent caching feature of Strangeloops' application accelerator.…" [Jan 07 2008 12:49]

"Got to disagree with you there, Tim. A start-up's number one priority is not making clients rich, it's making their own organization healthy. I was a Top 100 employee with 724 Solutions back in the day. We had it all . . . huge IPO, global financ…" [Jan 16 2008 08:36]

"724 made the promise of riches for all, but the company delivered on nothing. Most of the deals that got made were near giveaways to shareholder clients (BMO, BofA, Citi). Nobody – clients, staff, consumers or shareholders – made money …" [Jan 27 2008 09:00]

"Your post is fair and appreciated. Extend is sitting at the junction of content and commercialization and it's a tricky spot because they don't own the crowning tech on either one. Or maybe it's just a bit of karma biting Keith on the ass for fol…" [Mar 12 2008 20:18]

"I think a lot of it has to do with where each of you are in your development process. So, if my company is a start-up and I'm a real entrepreneurial, adaptable guy and a top notch communicator, then I'd say we're lucky to have found one another. Ta…" [Mar 28 2008 09:44]

"Alfred, if I interpret that correctly, you're saying a tech company should hire dummies that will be happy with whatever job you give them? Alfred, go to jail, go directly to jail. Do not pass ‘Innovate”, do not collect founder's stock …" [Jul 10 2008 10:12]
