Leveraging Your Assets
This week, Cringely talks about how Wal-Mart could use their massive store count (nearing 4000) as platforms from which they could launch WiMax service, effectively blanketing the country with high-speed wireless data services, and in so doing, bring in another $50 billion or so in revenue.

Moron Counting
After talking more with Seth (who has his own plugin for counting entries in sub-categories), it appears that <$MTCategoryCount$> includes both draft entries and published ones….

Political Affiliation
Okay, so it's been a week and you're jonesing for your political fix. Of course, there are certain exceptions – many people are getting theirs from last week's results that still haven't been resolved. Nonetheless, so that you can be practiced for the next time around, whenever it…

Focusing on the Negative
It seems to me that our society likes the negative. That shouldn't be a revelation to anyone, whether you get your information from the Internet or from the nightly news. What I don't understand is why we don't focus more on the positive. Don't get me wrong -…
