Yes, I can see that as a possible problem. I've seen fewer cliqueness in this crew (prehaps because they all come from varied educational and professional backgrounds), than I have in groups pulled mostly from tech academics and companies.

I've found it rewarding by seeing the team I helped hire, some of them eight years ago, do amazing things. I suppose, though, it might be time to speculate about my motivations and need for validation.

I'm sure there might be problems with choosing the wrong criteria, but I can't see how "elitism" in itself can be a cause of problems in the hiring process.

My college degree means nothing on paper professionally, but meant everything to my abilities to meet business and computing challenges. I didn't study computing at all. I don't expect that my experience is much different from others who

"Branding" is a focus on perception, on advertising and promotion. "Identity" is a focus on developing your core values. The touchstone is whether or not what a company projects is decided by marketing strategy in isolation or by business

Once you begin focusing on brand, you are embracing the path of a commodity--it's a defensive posture that subtracts from quality and identity. Anyone can buy branding and in among commodities, that is the only hope. Identity and quality,

When trust becomes of value, it will be traded. Sure, it isn't quite as nice and human as the person who goes to church in order to help his life insurance sales, and there is the layer of transferability that is new. But still...

Whether it's a blog or a network or a community tool addon thingy, what you need most is to let people know that their contributions are both need and likely not redundant to others. Polls can get the ball rolling, but they are a gamble.

It's okay to design with 1024x768 in mind, but you have to also consider those who are using handheld devices, screenreaders, and don't forget the bots. Make it good for the most common, but don't let it break for the rare.

It seems like listing do's and don't in an opt-in network is a bit of whining. :) But seriously, I do enjoy the way some people whine. Some comedians express great wit in whining. Why wouldn't I want to see that on twitter? I think twitt

I've actually started losing weight now. The trick was getting keyboard/monitor stand that can be adjusting to the standing position. It's not that we have to stay in one place, it's the sitting: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/DyeHard/

Since current educational objectives in the U.S.A have shifted from genuine, classroom-centric education to national simplified standardized testing, and schoolteacher skills can only be evaluated on their ability to teach to the test, this

To re-emphasize/clarify previous statements, OpenID doesn't require visitors to know about OpenID. A website can offer a registration/login process that requires nothing more than the visitor's AIM screen name, or livejournal account. (Se
