Business Tweets

As of late I have been more active on Twitter and often I just blast tweets about software development, business, and work life. Here is a synopsis of recent tweets and rants on business and design.

  • Old media is not only old, it is also fat, slow, dumb, and decrepit.
  • The work week: casual Mondays, martini Tuesdays, hump day Wednesdays, hookie Thursdays, and half-day Fridays.
  • If there is blogging, micro-blogging, and nano-blogging, then what is giga-blogging?
  • What about meta-blogging? It seems that a lot blogging is meta-blogging, link blogs and aggregators that rehash, repurpose, and repost.
  • This so called business analyst is asking developers business question.
  • Developing the brand usually takes longer than developing the technology
  • Reading past typos and grammatical errors in technical books, currently reading JavaFX Script: Dynamic Java Scripting for Something or Other
  • Maintaining a network should be more net benefit and not soo much work.
  • No joke but I just had to help an MBA send out a fax, the funny part is that he has our CEO help him with the cappuccino machine.
  • Marketing really exploits and abuses the misconception between free of charge and freedom. Free of charge is not free!
  • 50% off + extra 20% off does not add up to 70% off, it means 60% off. This is Marketing Math, designed to confuse even more than normal math.
  • Here is some more marketing math, ‘buy one and get second item 50% off ‘adds to 25% off.
  • The yogurt container needs to be redesigned, it is not optimal for extracting every last bit of yogurt in it.
  • Best shipping material: air bag used by Amazon. Worst package material: indestructible clear plastic used on electronics such as USB sticks.
  • Scotch tape dispensers need to be redesigned, the protruding metallic teeth used to cut the tape can easily scrape your thumb in heavy use.
