My favourite quote from the article = “The New York Times’s legacy business is the printed newspaper. They charge less for a print subscription than an all-inclusive digital subscription, despite the fact that all print subscriptions include an all-inclusive digital subscription. This makes no sense. You pay less but get something that intuitively bears a significant real cost: hundreds of...

TV series of Monocle on Bloomberg. I love the magazine and enjoy these snippets of televisual splendor.
Square →
Quora won new product of the year at Techrunch’s Crunchies, but I think the real winner should have been the runner up. I really feel Square could disrupt and change a whole industry. Square limits the friction for payments and allows a whole sector of the economy that only takes cash payments (markets, kiosks, vendor) to come into the credit economy. This will be great for merchants and...

Learn How to Program
I’ve been learning how to program properly for the last 3 months, but I’ve programmed a bit before then. I often get asked “where do I start?”. Here are some links…but before you start clicking, think of a project you want to complete, something simple you want to do in your spare time. A website for your church, your own blog, etc. Start NOW. Make it happen.

Aol ftw?
I’ve been watching AOL closely since Tim Armstrong became the CEO just over a year ago. AOL has been in a bad way for the last few years. The company is reliant on its dial-up modem business which is shrinking between 27-33% every year, the acquisition of Bebo has been universally derided as a waste of money at $850 million and the company has gone through a series of layoffs. However, I...

remember the peanut butter manifesto? in late 2006 an svp at Yahoo called brad garlinghouse (now at AOL) sent a memo out about yahoo’s failings and what was needed to turn the corner. the company needed a “cohesive vision”. yahoo’s strategy was like peanut butter spread across a “myriad opportunities that continue to evolve in the online world. the result: a thin...
