Innovation In Action: Steven Soderbergh Talks “Haywire” → feedproxy.google.com

This movie looks incredible. I really like Soderbergh’s approach to featuring an unknown actress and applying a methodology to filming that would support her in playing the role. Much like how when entrepreneurs enter partnerships, not everyone can be a rockstar in a vacuum but they have to work together as a team to create the impossible.

Apple Has an Unboxing Room to Test Hundreds of Variants of their Product Packaging → macrumors.com

Details details. A friend told me the other day he’d pay $500 extra for a new MBair rather than a used one just so he could open it himself.

The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.  → ycombinator.com

Pauly G. drawin lines in the sand for Hollywood. I wonder if a Kickstarter project would hit if we took donations to line up Movie and TV execs like this a la Jackass???

How to work → paulgraham.com

I really wish someone would have passed me this in say, o, around November last year. I’ve had the good fortune of having much of that time to teach myself coding. Honestly though, I’ve made a depressing amount of progress in a year’s time. Largely because of lack of determination, but also in large part to not being able to focus.

I can’t imagine Tolkien got a lot of writing done on days when he was interrupted every 30 minutes, not sure how I’d expect myself to learn to program and produce anything of value (albeit  Hunter S. Thompson’esque).

Thanks again PG for the wisdom.build()

Five Myths Of The Enterprise Startup → feedproxy.google.com

This is really exciting to hear that folks are bullish on Enterprise startups finally ‘coming of age’. I struggled for a long time with even going the enterprise route with HaveMyShift because I’d grown up enterprise consulting and was literally bored to tears with it at times, but we bagged our first enterprise client a few months back and have rather enjoyed the experience since then. Much more so than being a ‘rockstar’ (aka feature monkey) to the individual customers we had all over town.
