My 21 GB library on my MacBook took 20 minutes to update. 

My 1.2 TB library on my 12 Core Mac Pro took 20 seconds to update. 

Woah.

They view their sites as mere brand extensions and fail to treat them as stand-alone media properties.

They don’t understand usability and make their sites pretty but impossible to navigate, and then naively think they’ll educate their users to find their content.

They don’t understand Web metabolism and produce content that’s stale.

They think Web content is inherently inferior when it’s merely different, and create inferior Web products as a result then wonder why they’re not succeeding.

They fail to monetize their products properly, then underpay talent and wonder why they can’t recruit good writers.

I did a Qwith the Knoxville News on web media, etc.

bq. p. “It probably would’ve been easier just to build a new stage, but because of all the old artists who walked on the old stage we wanted to keep that,’’ says Dunne of names like the Police, U2, the Pixies, and other bands who trod the Paradise boards.

Wow. I am humbled to have danced on this stage (thanks Barbarian Group! – Christmas Party 2010 perhaps???). 

I’m really looking forward to seeing the changes. I hated those awkward boxes and the hallway and the giant pole but I mostly hated that lingering smell of vomit that would come and go just often enough that you kept re-smelling it. 

I played on this stage once during my Rock career (thanks to Aaron Perrino, now a Barbarian, who let a band I was in, The Texas Governor , open for his band, The Sheila Divine ), and gave 3 speeches on that stage. I miss it. Get to go there soon to see The Vaselines! Yay!

p. I bet that wedding dress shopping with Rick Webb would be awesome. You could probably market that as a service, Rick.

Haha. Let’s see if I like it once. And if that works, I’ll quit my day job for a life of champagne, too-flimsy couches and the only the most emotional dressing room experiences.

I kinda want to pitch this as a regular addition to the TODAY wedding series  (if “Say Yes to the Dress” doesn’t grab Webb first). We need more dudes crying in dressing rooms.

My reality show calling!

Just finishing up the first month of my friend Buster’s new website Health Month. It was a good time. Challenging but helpful, and I am definitely healthier for it. 

He’s gearing up for the month two beta. If you want in, let me know I have some sponsorship tokens. 

This is a great article about managing office politics. (via Fred Wilson)
