A stream of rambling thoughts began, as it often does, on my morning walk. Halley discovered yet another masterpiece of odoriferous expression, and as she inspected it thoroughly I found myself wondering about its, um, provenance. Too big for a raccoon’s, doesn’t look like a dog’s…bear? Hmm, I’ve never seen bear turds, [...]
As Randy mentioned yesterday, I’m helping edit his evolving e-book Ten Steps to Professional Blogging. I’m having a lot of fun with this new collaborative effort.

Seth Godin offers Ten things programmers might want to know about marketers. I particularly like number 7, “There is no number seven.” The Zen of marketing.

Most marketers have no clue whatsoever what to do. So we do unoriginal things, or stall, or make promises we can’t keep.

People are asking lots of interesting questions over here. And an organization named “dropping knowledge” wants to get some answers.
Or at least some good discussion. They’re planning a round table (literally — about 100 feet in diameter) of 112 notables to bandy a select group of these questions about on September 9 in [...]

Well, not exactly “from now on” — but at least until Tuesday. We’re going on vacation to Seaside, Oregon. Planning to do a lot of nothing. I’ll have a laptop along, but my fingers will spend more time building sand castles with the kids than writing or coding.
