Listening, but do you really hear?

Posted on May 31st, 2007 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

The internet is one large place where many conversations are happening. People join social sites like MySpace, Virb, Flickr, or even 9rules for social interaction. With sites like Twitter, Jaiku, etc. the conversation can become very disjointed, meaning that the people trying to follow what you are saying has to look in many places to [...]

What’s behind door…

Posted on May 29th, 2007 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

I think everyone gets to a point where they are standing in a long hall with many doors…which door should be walked through? Which choice is the right choice? Picking the right choice means realistically and objectively looking at the situation. That is what I am doing now – stepping back and taking a long [...]

Use the right tool

Posted on May 27th, 2007 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

Peroty linked to a video that cracks me up. It’s a video of a guy trying to use the Vista Speech Recognition software to program a simple script. It does not work very well. It’s frustrating for the guy but funny at the same time. One thing is obvious: he’s using the wrong tool to [...]

Yesterday I read about Rebekka’s copyright issues. To make a long story short she uploaded some images to Flickr (beautiful photography), a company saw her images, downloaded them and resold them…making thousands of dollars. Rebekka attempted to protect herself by uploading images in a lesser resolution but the company was still able to achieve enough [...]

And the winner is…no one

Posted on May 16th, 2007 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

I noticed a trend with online communications: people cross lines online they wouldn’t cross with face to face interactions. People say things or do things and don’t think of the future repercussions. For some reason the thought is out there that simply saying “I’m sorry” is enough to take it away. Why should anyone (particularly [...]

Fight your own battles

It saddens me that I have to write this because seriously, this should have blown over by now. Sorry…but this is about the Bryan thing. I know, it should be over…sigh, but I have to set the record straight.
Rob Goodlatte’s site was brought to my attention where he said Rob said:
All I know of Bryan’s [...]

Mistakes: I make ‘em. You make ‘em. We all make ‘em.

Posted on May 3rd, 2007 by Tyme White in Business

I know it seems like I write about people messing up like I make no mistakes. That’s comical because I make some doozies and most likely they are more public than the average person. I figure when I make one, I should learn from it and perhaps share it so I can learn something else [...]

Losing control of your company

Posted on May 2nd, 2007 by Tyme White in Business

Let’s say you create a business. You’re doing your thing and you have a specific set of goals in mind.
Fighting the digital revolution ain’t one of them.
Someone posts code on your site that is knowingly against ToS. You think it’s cool but in the end take it down to avoid the legal hassle. It’s knowingly [...]
