Farewell Stuart MacGill
via Line and Length - Times Online - WBLG by Patrick Kidd on June 03, 2008
Another day, another valedictory to a retired Australian cricketer. If we can only get rid of Hayden, Ponting and Hussey in the next 12 months, the next Ashes might be competitive.Stuart MacGill is the latest to head off into the sunset, having decided that the drawn Test in Antigua would be his last. Odd - and sad after all he has done for Australia - that he should leave mid-series with his...

I Like Plurk Better Than Twitter, But Should I Even Bother?
via Mashable! by Stan Schroeder on June 01, 2008
The thing about Twitter is that it’s not the most popular microblogging/web IM/whatever service out there because it’s better than others. It’s the most popular because it’s more…twittery than other services. You can’t really put a finger on its magic: Pownce has more features and it looks nicer, but even I don’t see it overtaking Twitter any time soon (and that’s despite...

Thinking about Danny Devito
via Seth's Blog by Seth Godin on May 30, 2008
George Clooney is a movie star. He looks like one. He makes tens of millions of dollars a year, hangs out at Cannes and has starlets falling at his feet. Danny Devito is exactly five feet tall. He was perfectly cast as the Penguin. Can you imagine the career advice Danny got? The well-meaning people who explained to him (as if he didn't know) that he didn't really look like George...

Australia, they’re f****** finished
via The Corridor (a cricket blog) by Will on June 01, 2008
Those words came from a colleague today. Not just today, in fact, but through West Indies’ series against Australia. “The Ashes are coming home.”I am significantly less convinced - though he has good form in picking these things - but heartened, from an English perspective, at the cracks which are widening. With Stuart MacGill’s shove (err, retirement? - ed), Michael Clarke has suddenly...

Pay Me $50,000 to Quit Writing Slacker Manager
via Slacker Manager by Phil Gerbyshak on June 01, 2008
Bill Taylor recently shared a unique strategy from online shoe retailer Zappos: It offers new employees $1,000 (plus up-to-date pay) to leave the company. It’s an interesting strategy: pay folks who aren’t 100% committed to the company’s mission, vision and values a decent sum of money to quit right now, rather than find out they’re not a fit later. I like this idea a lot, and it got me...
