Blumenthal's insider baseball: It's all
neocons, all the time
12/30/2004 11:29 AM

Sidney Blumenthal in Salon marshalls the recent hirings and firings as evidence that Bush is thoroughly purging the administration of those who counseled caution in Iraq. Here are the opening lines: The transition to President Bush's second term, filled with backstage betrayals, plots and pathologies, would make for an excellent chapter of "I, Claudius." To begin with, I have learned from numerous sources, including several people close to Brent Scowcroft, that Bush has unceremoniously and without public acknowledgment dumped Scowcroft, his father's closest associate and friend, as chairman of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. The elder Bush's national security advisor...

Insider Report


Insider Report 04/29/2004 07:03 PM
The following is a report from a temp employee of Google about what things were like today. If you were around Google today, please share your story. I'm glad "The Announcement" is happening, actually, because that means that tomorrow it will be over. No more rumors. We're going public. I'm sure there will still be lots of media around, particularly when the actual IPO happens in a few months' time, but until then, there won't be much to report on. The rumors have been around for so long that the elevated hype this week was pooh-poohed by many, but it has been crazy around here this week and a total circus today. At the main (SGI) campus, there have been security guards manning the entrance to the parking lot all week, and you have to show your badge to get in. This screens out the media who haven't made plans with PR in advance to be there - according to a security guard I talked to, Google gets some very aggressive journalists showing up at random and is trying to shield employees from being hassled. Today the local NBC affiliate had a news van outside the parking lot, plus there were photographers and another news van I didn't recognize. I should have been tipped off that today was definitely the big day by the presence of a photographer at the building where I work. As I was coming in this morning, he was taking pictures of the sign at the entrance to the parking lot. This was unusual: I'm still at the old campus, and the media don't come here; there's no security roadblock in our lot. The front desk girl was calling security on the guy by the time I had parked my car and walked inside. (She asked, "He's on the sidewalk?", making me wonder whether the guy could be asked to leave if he was standing on public property - but photographing private property. Don't know what the law is around that. There are AP images of the Google building signs anyway, so it's not like he was getting an exclusive, never-before-seen shot.) Apparently the day's announcement was a surprise for Googlers as well. Suddenly this meeting was called via e-mail, causing other meetings in progress to be adjourned; everyone dropped everything and vanished. It was like the plague had struck. We temps were not informed, but had to put two and two together from the sudden exodus and from the e-mail we received announcing that the cafe (which is huge and has a stage with a sound system, usually used for DJs and jam bands at lunch) would be closed until 1 due to "a special event." A coworker and I tried to gatecrash and got as far as walking up to the cafe from the inside hallway, seeing the backs of hundreds of people and hearing the voice of whoever was at the mic, before being turned away by security for having the wrong color (temp) badge. There was a BBQ grill going outside that we were welcome to peruse, though, so we got food and sat down to wait and watch. All we could see were the backs of people visible through the sliding glass doors; the rest of the cafe was under whiteout conditions, with blinds pulled to block all views inside. This is impressive since the entire front facade of the cafe, which is about three stories high, is made of windows! We observed lots of periodic clapping, and there was a Q&A session after the main piece had been said. Eventually people spilled out into the sunshine. Sadly, I saw no one run out of the building yelling, "I'm rich! I'm rich! I'm filthy rich!" I did see Larry Page go by looking bemused but snazzy in a colorful striped button-down shirt - and it looked like he was wearing his best sneakers. We grabbed someone we knew, who told us, "I think we're doing the right thing." I hope that's true. Thanks to our contributor for this report. Again, if you were around Google, please tell us your story....

Microsoft's Future, from a Former

Microsoft's Future, from a Former
insider
06/03/2004 12:13 PM

  • Jeff Reifman: Microsoft's Sacred Cash Cow. This made me wonder about Microsoft’s willingness to innovate and compete. Why are Microsoft products still so difficult to use and so unreliable? Why is the company improving them so slowly? Is Microsoft losing its competitive edge? Has the company seen its best days?
  • This is an interesting contribution to the literature of ex-Microsoft folks. It's thoughtful, though I don't think the writer appreciates what $56 billion in cash, a powerful monopoly and the willingness to do anything to preserve the monopoly can mean in the future. I believe we've not seen the height of Microsoft's powers. Through threats and willing helpers or possibly outright proxies, it's already aiming "intellectual property" laws against open-source software. And it has made no bones about further such plans. Microsoft also does improve products when it has competition, such as in the smart-phone and handheld arenas where its operating system entries are getting much better. The people in charge at Microsoft may be ethics-challenged, but a lot of smart and basically honorable people work for them, wanting to do the right thing themselves. They often do.

    Management by Baseball 01/18/2004 03:44 AM

    I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it here, but I’m a rabid baseball fan. I love the game. I love to watch it, play it, and coach it. I even like to read about it, and I’ve often felt that you can learn a lot about managing a company from baseball. Jeff Angus feels the same way.

    Angus is a former baseball reporter and current management consultant. His blog, Management by Baseball takes lessons learned from baseball news and applies them to business management. MBB is full of well-written, thoughtful analysis and I’ve been learning a lot about both baseball and business as I read it. I rarely go back and read through all the archives of new blogs that I discover, but I find myself working backward through MBB and I’m sure I’ll be disappointed to reach the end.

    "Have you seen my baseball glove?"

    "Why do you need your baseball glove at 10:30 on a Saturday night?"

    Normally, the answer to this question would involve me making mildly to extremely inappropriate suggestions involving a trip to trashy lingerie and some Jack Daniels . . . but I was faced with a serious problem. I had a fever, and the only prescription was my baseball glove!

    "I'm going to Dodger Stadium with my dad tomorrow morning for their Father's Day 'play catch with dad in the outfield' event, and I need my glove!"

    Last month I went to an all-day umpiring workshop, and today was the Little League Opening Day parade. As a side-effect, I’m feeling rather culturally well-rooted, not to mention erudite: two strikes on the batter, a foul-tip bounces off the catcher’s mask into the air, the third basemen charges in and catches it; is the batter out? Or... runners on first and second, pop fly to third, infield-fly rule called, the ball bounces off the third baseman’s glove through foul territory into the dugout, what happens? Then there’s the crash and howl of the bagpipe band as hundreds of bright-clad children march onto the immaculate infield grass... Opening Day!...
