- Bre Pettis | I Make Things – Bre Pettis Blog – The Cult of Done Manifesto
# There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
# Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
# There is no editing stage.
# Pretending you know what you're doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you're doing even if you don't and do it.
# Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
# The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
# Once you're done you can throw it away.
# Laugh at perfection. It's boring and keeps you from being done.
# People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
# Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
# Destruction is a variant of done.
# If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
# Done is the engine of more.

- Todd Biske: Outside the Box » Blog Archive » Is Twitter the Cloud Bus?
"Way back when, Microsoft and Apple were duking it out over competing ways of getting desktop apps to communicate with each other (remember OpenDoc and OLE?). Now that the pendulum is swinging back toward the world of rich UI’s, it won’t surprise me at all if the conversation around inter-application communication for desktop apps comes up again. What’s needed? Just a simple message bus to create a communication pathway."
- Arphid Watch: Could the RFID Biz Collapse?
"Given that this is industry-booster RFID Monthly speaking, this sure doesn't sound like a ringing vote of confidence in arphidland. Wal-Mart, Procter and Gamble and of course the snakebitten automotive industry are no longer in any mood to boost an industry that cannot pay off pronto. Add to that a chastened Defense Department, and the once-imperial RFID business really does look frail."

- A Full-Blown Financial Market Reset
"Citing massive losses in the sub-prime markets as evidence of how bad the crisis is and how many experts underestimated the depth of the recession is, Hegarty said there are three areas that will shape the restructuring of the financial markets: risk management, regulation and market structure. "Last May at this conference, there were $254 billion in write downs. Today, the industry is at $815 billion," he said. "Clearly, the industry will go over $1 trillion in write downs, but the question is if it will now go over $1.5 trillion." For a frame of reference, last year Hegarty predicted the industry might see $500 billion in total write downs." Later: he advices getting to know how to talk about risk management. Yeah, that worked well last time.
- Bank of America Pushes Back on Bonus Reveal
"Bank of America said revealing the data [about an estimated $3.6 billion of bonuses paid to Merrill Lynch & Co officials] could help rivals poach talent, prompt employees to leave because their privacy was violated, cause "internal dissension and consternation," increase security risks for bonus recipients, and give rivals a better idea of which businesses it considers most valuable." I don't these guys are going to get much quarter now.
