A Reason. A Season. A Lifetime.

Posted on April 23rd, 2008 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

I know, you guys have been wanting a relationships entry. I wasn’t feeling anything on that topic until I saw AlphaCat’s video he released today, which led me to Grillmaster33’s video about the people in our lives. People are in our lives for a reason and they remain in our life for a season, or [...]

Can we talk about better aggregation now?

Posted on April 22nd, 2008 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

From Dave Winer:
Yes, it serves me right, and I, of all people, know better, than to build a network on a single point of failure, depending on one company, that is known for producing unreliable systems in an industry with incredibly thin skin (how can they get better if they won’t listen). In other words, [...]

Want to improve? Admit you suck.

It’s not a secret I play World of Warcraft. I look at a lot of PVP movies because I want to improve in that area. There is a PVP movie that is perfect to explain the point of this article. A guy makes a video series called I Suck at PVP. He plays a Mage [...]

Comments and RSS

Posted on April 15th, 2008 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

Let’s have a conversation about comments. With the rise of third party sites like FriendFeed it is getting harder to keep up with comments. If you are unfamiliar with FriendFeed the site is an aggregator to aid you in following your friends. If I placed my blog feed in FriendFeed my friends using the site [...]

The Peter Principle and Fast Company

Posted on April 9th, 2008 by Tyme White in Business

I want to talk about the business aspects of what happened between Loren Feldman, Shel Israel and Fast Company, since everyone else talked about the personal branding issues. This is going to be a long one so I suggest you get the beverage of your choice, perhaps something to eat, get comfortable or leave, it’s [...]

Birds of a feather flock together

Posted on April 8th, 2008 by Tyme White in Business

I cannot remember who told me this but I was told (in school) for every positive (pro) there is a negative (con). The pro of the internet being cheap is that everyone (just about) can get on the internet. A con is that people think they have business skills they don’t have and start projects [...]

Negative criticism comes in all forms. Deal with it.

Posted on April 6th, 2008 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

Last night I went out and I met a man who was very enthusiastic about a new project he wanted to work on. He looked so happy and excited and I was praying the entire time that he didn’t ask me what I thought.
Because he had obvious problems with his plan. Obvious to me, that [...]

Cross-posting information will eventually work against you

Posted on April 3rd, 2008 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

One of the advantages of moving my all of my feeds (yes, that includes Twitter) into my RSS reader (meaning, one spot I completely control and manage), I notice a startling trend. I’m receiving mass amounts of duplicate information. I don’t mean the same topic discussed over multiple sites.
I mean being presented with the same [...]

If it's broke, fix it

Posted on April 1st, 2008 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

Today is April Fool’s Day. The internet is going to be basically worthless today trying to determine whether an article is legitimate or a prank. So, I’m going to relay a story that happened yesterday.
Scrivs and I were playing Weewar. Someone from the Weewar team came to one of the SuperStreams, mentioned the game, and [...]
