Monetize: A word we didn't need
via Signal vs. Noise by David on January 24, 2008
Only in the perverted world of the web can something as simple and fundamental as making money be in need of a fancy word like “monetize”.

Our engineers have been passing around this video showing a 3-D system that a guy at Carnegie Mellon has developed using a Nintendo Wii. Check it out. It's really cool. Not as cool as MacBook Air or iPhone. But pretty cool.

Bad judgment
via Seth's Blog by Seth Godin on January 23, 2008
All day, you run into people with bad judgment. That critic who didn't like your last movie, or the prospect who refuses to buy your product even though it's better. Or the angry customer who is bitter, vindictive, loud and out to cost you your job... even though they must know it's not your fault. Or perhaps it's the employee who refuses to exert a little extra energy even though...
