the absurdities of Davos
via apophenia by zephoria on January 27, 2008
When I went to Cannes last year, I thought nothing could be more absurd. I was wrong; Davos is much much much more absurd. Much to my shock, I was invited to speak at the World Economic Forum this year, all because of a talk that I gave at AAAS. Even though I was on travel ban, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go. Given how many folks have asked me about it, I also figured I should...

It was a different experience this year than last (understanding that last year was my first RubyConf), and I’m not sure whether I liked it better. I would have preferred a single track, although I completely acknowledge the reasons why multitrack made sense… I just didn’t like having to make...

In 10 Years, Marketing Will Be Taught In Engineering School
via Why does everything suck? by Hank Williams on January 28, 2008
Marketing is still primarily perceived as a fuzzy touchy feely discipline. But the Internet is bringing this to an end rapidly. In ten years our current perspectives on this will seem quaint.Marketing will be much more like what Wall Street quant guys do. Everything will be math. There will be few "soft" taste judgments. It will all be about precisely definable ROI. The good marketers will be the...
