Business 2.0.  Warren Buffet on corporate profitability and the stock market over the next 14 years.  He expects the market to grow slowly over the next major period.  Why? Corporate profitability will not increase as it has in the past (it is currently at a very high percentage of GDP) and interest rates have little room to…

Found this while browsing Marc Barrot’s site tonight. It’s using Marc Barrot’s Active Renderer tool, and it takes your Radio outlines and automatically renders them as DHTML (Dynamic HTML, a nice visual presentation of HTML content) relying on cascading style sheets (CSS) and Javascript. You can collapse and expand elements of the outline at will,…

Found this great little tool while surfing over at Radio Userland’s Discussion page. It’s very similar to Blogger’s “blog this!” bookmarklet (a bookmarklet is a javascript button that gets added to your IE toolbar). While browsing, if  you see an item you want to add to your blog, just highlight the text you want to post,…

The goal is to provide a list of links that appear on my weblog home page that is easy to edit. The default link list macro in Radio, the navigatorLinks macro, had little formatting flexibility and was difficult to edit. I originally tried Jon Udell’s “my subscriptions” macro – but the resulting list of links had…

Just documented how I’m now managing my links list in my Radio outliner. There are probably other ways to do it, but this is exactly what I was looking for. Very cool.

Update: Brobeck Team Won’t Move to Clifford Chance. Citing “practical challenges,” negotiations by Clifford Chance to hire a team of partners led by Tower Snow Jr., the former chairman of San Francisco’s Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison, fell through this week. Whether the Brobeck lawyers — either individually or as a group — are looking elsewhere…

Congrats, Ernie! Ernie passes the 10,000 page view milestone (as noted at the Radio Community Server). What I really want to do is set up an RCS site that’s for the law blogs … but that requires a dedicated machine. And right now, I can’t seem to find one for the task. I think that’s…

Early in The Matrix, Thomas Anderson (aka Neo) walks into his company’s building. The name of the company is written in large letters on the outside of the building. A few minutes later, he gets a call from Morpheus. Morpheus tells him to run to his boss’s office to escape. As he does so, you…

I’m finally getting around to responding to Chris’s post from a few days ago. He raised an interesting point about his CIO’s insistence on identifying the ROI for his firm’s upcoming CRM investment. (Disclaimer: I work for a software company that sells CRM software to professional services firms. You can learn more here. The post…

There’s a lot of folks at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology conference, and this is another conference with 802.11b wireless access (aka “wi-fi”) to allow any geek with an antenna to have access to the Net. Well, Rob Flickinger from O’Reilly decided to run a program called EtherPEG to watch the packets of information flowing across the wireless…
