March 25th, 2007, No Comments
I went to a google@work seminar in Dallas last week. It was mostly a sales pitch for Google’s enterprise services, but there were a few interesting bits such as getting a glimpse of Google’s intranet. Another thing stood out that prompted this post. Part of Google’s pitch is that hierarchical organization is dead. More than [...]
Ray Rainwater RIP

It’s been busy and I’ve fallen behind on posting anything new lately. It’s been a mixed month of good news and bad. The bad news was hearing that Ray Rainwater had died. While not totally unexpected, one never likes to lose a friend. In this case a friend Susan and I knew only through the [...]
