 Serious hacking: one thing about the ongoing kitchen remodel is that I've had to learn about kitchen ranges, refrigerators, cabinetry, 240-volt-10-kilowatt circuits, minimum distance from 15,000 BTU burner to 'combustible wall', the differences in modern windows vs. 50-year-old windows, building codes, plumbing, blower ducts, granite cutters, drywall and the correct way to prime it.
Here is my most recent hack joy: a 3.5 horsepower Ridgid industrial vacuum cleaner that I picked up on sale at Home Depot. This thing sucks: it will pick up nails, rocks and spilled paint. Excellent investment... |

William Gibson: "As the Tupperware yawns wider still, and PATTERN RECOGNITION's "pub date" looms (which sounds like having a pint or two down the Hog And Grommet with that nice girl from Accounting, but isn't) I find myself starting to have that I Don't Have A Life feeling."

Scoble on one way to monetize a Weblog. A Weblog community can be an excellent and inexpensive way to reach a very targeted market. Products like Macromedia's Flash MX and Apple's Mac OS X and Safari have Weblogs run by the product managers that naturally link into communities of interest because they do a good job of being an up-and-up resource with very low or no hype.
I happen to think it's OK for conferences and products to offer Weblogs associate programs a la Amazon, where they pay a bounty for referred paying customers - these communities are close enough that it would be difficult for an author to just be a shill for $$$, indiscriminately recommending products and services that weren't truly valuable. Interest communities are already self-identifying and self-organizing: if marketers tap these communities intelligently (admittedly a big if) it could be good for both sides... |
