Thinking Thin With Laptops 03/13/2003 10:21 AM

With the rest of us tightening our belts in the economic downturn, laptop manufacturers have decided to play along after a fashion. Cutting-edge laptops are losing weight. (San Jose Mercury News via MyAppleMenu)

The new TV, she is thin

While I never really thought plasma was worth looking at, the DLP and LCD sets out there are either too large or too expensive. This low end panasonic 37" plays movies beautifully and does just fine on regular satellite broadcasts. Plus, it was dirt cheap (for a plasma) at Costco.

Now I just need to figure out where in the hell I'll put a center channel speaker, since the stand bulges out and gets in the way. Maybe it's time to finally go with some cheap in-wall units, though I've pretty much burned all my selfish purchase karma for the year (and probably next year too).

Elvis on a Wheat Thin?


Elvis on a Wheat Thin? 03/17/2005 03:13 AM

A while back we talked about a grilled cheese sandwich with the image of the Virgin Mary on it, which sold for $28,000 on Ebay. Today I heard a story on the radio about Miles Bradley, an antique dealer in Chamberlain, SD — just down the road a piece — who found a Wheat Thin cracker with a likeness of Elvis' head on it. Or so some say. I just don't see it. Bradley tried to repeat the grilled cheese success & cash in on his find by selling it on eBay.

Apparently I wasn't the only one who failed to see The King on the cracker. (Take a look at the pictures on the auction site & let me know what you think.) The bidding failed to break the $500 reserve price, and the auction closed with a high bid of $451. The disappointed Bradley is reportedly going to give it another shot, but if it doesn't break the $500 reserve this time, he's gonna eat it. He probably should've done that to begin with.

If it were me, after going to the trouble of listing it on Ebay, I would've taken the $451 and run.

Linux and thin clients 04/14/2005 12:34 PM
The primary goal of Linux desktop operation is to give users access to typical desktop applications -- word processors, spreadsheets, Web browsers, etc. An alternative exists to this configuration, though: thin client computing. In many respects, thin client computing is very old; the typical mainframe model, with a large central server and many dumb terminals attached to it, closely resembles thin client computing. Thin clients, though, give users the ability to run GUI programs. Before going too far with a desktop Linux deployment, you may want to consider a Linux thin client solution. It's not for everybody, but some sites can benefit from it.

Thin client, rich data


Thin client, rich data 06/15/2004 08:32 AM
Current approaches to taking browsers offline typically enqueue messages that later update a server-based data model. An Alchemy application, though, always works with a genuine local data model that it stores as sets of XML fragments and navigates in a relational style. Bosworth's hunch is that a Web-style thin client, driven by a rich data model intelligently synchronized with the services cloud, could do most of what we really need -- both offline and online. Nothing prevents Java, .Net, and Flash clients from adopting the same strategy, by the way. But if Bosworth is right, the universal client that we know and love could get a new lease on life.

Unfortunately HTC Voyager model of Microsoft smartphone, branded among others as "Orange SPV e200", "Qtek 8080", etc - has no ability to switch on the Bluetooth only then when a call is incoming (so that you could use Bluetooth headset to take the call). You can either switch it on (and then it will stay on for ever and suck battery a lot) or you can switch it off (and then you can´t take calls with Bluetooth headset). It seems that this little utility is fixing this problem.

EXISTENTIAL ENTERPRISE 101
06/17/2004 01:15 PM
Entrepreneurship Process
©2004 The Caring Enterprise Coach
This article is a summary of what everyone should know before starting their own business. It assumes that you've done the following groundwork:
  • You've decided what you want the business to be about
  • You believe you have some core competency -- something you are exceptionally good at -- that will be valuable in such a business
  • You have the key attributes of an entrepreneur: Common sense and self-confidence
  • You have the basic skills needed to succeed in any business: Creativity, communication skills, information management skills and interpersonal skills

If you talk to your local accountant or small business advisory office, they'll probably tell you about the importance of doing a business plan to raise financing, the need to incorporate and register your business name, how to advertise your product and service, and the importance of administrivia like business cards and letterhead. They'll also probably tell you that entrepreneurship takes courage, patience, an ability to handle enormous stress, and a willingness to take risks and work long, hard hours. And they'll tell you that growth is paramount.

Most of this is nonsense, and all of it is putting the cart before the horse. Why do they tell you this? Because it's what they've been taught, and because of the frightening failure rate of small enterprise. But most entrepreneurial businesses don't fail because of bad advertising, cowardice, owner laziness or inability to handle stress. They fail because they are poorly thought out, poorly researched, set up wrong, marketed wrong, badly managed, and given terrible business advice. I base this immoderate assessment on my experience working with over a hundred entrepreneurs, listening to their stories, and seeing what works (and what doesn't) in small enterprise, and why.

Let's take a step back and consider what an entrepreneurial business is. It is a (usually small) number of people with a shared idea and a willingness to work together to make that idea commercially viable. That means, according to what they teach you in business school, finding capital, developing your product and then going out looking for customers for it.

This is a recipe for failure. The money you borrow (which in an entrepreneurial business is always horrifically expensive) compromises your control and immediately presents the possibility of the loan being called, and the personal assets securing it being forfeited. And there are a million possible reasons why there could be few, or no, customers for your product. The #1 reason entrepreneurial businesses fold is because they simply run out of cash. The #2 reason is because the owners make one or more fatal decisions, and the most common fatal decision is to produce a product that nobody wants to buy.

Here's an alternative model, based on what Charles Handy calls Existential Enterprise, and which I have called New Collaborative Enterprise. Its first two principles turn the business school formula upside down:
  1. Marketing: Don't sell or market anything -- identify and produce something for which there is a substantial unmet need.
  2. Financing: Don't borrow money or sell part ownership in your business -- only spend your own cash or cash you've earned.
This isn't rocket science. The first rule simply says do your research before you start, do it thoroughly, and do it with potential customers. That way you have sales before you have costs. Then rule number two becomes easy -- your customers finance your business, and the debt is quickly extinguished when the product is delivered. This is an oversimplification, of course. You can't always finance operations this way. But if you have to borrow, the principle is the same -- pay it off fast, as part of the same transaction that gave rise to the debt in the first place, and never give up equity -- it's like selling your soul. Most women can confirm the insanity of spending cash you don't have -- which is one reason women entrepreneurs tend to start their businesses more slowly, and keep them going much longer.

Time for some more heresy. MBA graduates will tell you to select a management team with a balance of skills -- operational, financial, sales, management etc. But they don't know what your particular business needs -- if the business is an R&D outsourcer it needs people with deep knowledge about research, not accountants and sales executives. An Existential Enterprise will follow these principles instead:
  1. Association: Make a living only with people you love and trust -- life's too short to spend so much of it with people you don't care about, or worse. In most cases, don't incorporate -- it adds paperwork, has no tax benefit and usually offers no liability protection to the entrepreneur. A partnership requires little or no bureaucracy and is infinitely flexible. Instead of a shareholders' or partnership agreement, develop together a simple Statement of Objectives and Operating Principles, which affirms why you're making a living together, commits all members to live up to certain shared standards of behaviour, and affirms that each member is responsible for the well-being of all other members, as each member defines well-being, and responsible as well to the community in which it operates.
  2. Management: Let the group that you make a living with select and manage itself (new members and expulsions require unanimous approval of other members), based on the 'mutually exclusive/collectively exhaustive' skills principle (i.e. each member should bring unique and critical skills to the enterprise, and between all the members you should have all the skills that you collectively decide you need).
  3. Structure: Have no titles, no reporting lines, and no hierarchy -- all members are equal. No "employees". No "leaders". If ego-fulfilment is part of your reason for starting a business (which wouldn't be surprising if you were recently 'downsized'), you'll need to get that satisfaction from making the business work and making yourself and your partners happy. If you feel the need to boss people around, find somewhere else to do it. The only reason for the cult of leadership in big business is that big business is basically unmanageable, and arrogant, overpaid bullies can make it appear slightly less so to its investors.
This may sound idealistic, but it works. Partnerships are a very common form of business organization, and those formed with family members and others where there is a bond of love and trust are especially durable. And many large businesses are learning the benefits of flat organizational structure, decentralized decision-making, and the abolition of titles.

Next, the business school grad will tell you you need systems that provide each person with compensation and reward that is 'commensurate with performance'. That means your partner who's independently wealthy and who self-promotes like crazy will get money he doesn't need, and the young, modest partner with a big mortgage will get less money than he needs, and so will probably leave to get more. And the partner who values and needs her spare time but who has critical and scarce skills will be bribed to work long hours and so will probably leave to get less. Here's a more sensible approach:
  1. Goal-Setting: Have each member discuss with the others what (income, time off, travel, non-travel etc.) they want and reasonably need from the business. Define that, not growth or profit, as 'success'. Measure your attainment of it. Don't bother with more traditional measures -- they don't matter. Together, plan and operate the business to achieve that success for each individual.
  2. Defining Roles: From that definition of success, collectively define the enterprise's goals, and have each member create their own role statement to achieve those goals. Refine these role statements together, to close any gaps and remove overlap. You may have to add members to do this, and members with redundant roles may have to self-select out.
Now everyone in your enterprise knows what you're trying to accomplish, what it will take to achieve it, what's in it for them, and what their individual role is. If each member has the key attributes and basic skills listed at the start of this article, you have all the ingredients in place for a successful (on your own terms) enterprise. All you need to do now is communicate well and avoid the landmines.

Think of it as a jazz combo versus a traditional symphony orchestra. In the jazz combo, everyone knows their role, takes their cues from each other, and communicates network-style with the other band members and with the audience (customers). If the audience gets restless (customers are dissatisfied or their needs change) you can improvise quickly. You don't need hierarchy. By contrast, the symphony orchestra, like the traditional business, is hierarchical, communicates only through the guy at the top, and is totally stuck to the rehearsed script (the business plan). If the audience is unhappy, the symphony just ignores them and plays on. Which business model makes more sense to you?

Once you're up and running, here are three final principles to keep things going smoothly:
  1. Networks: Networking is critical to every business. Business success correlates highly with the amount and breadth of effective, face-to-face time (telephone time is OK, but a very poor second) -- time you spend with (a) customers and prospective customers, no matter what your role is in the enterprise, (b) experts and coaches that can listen to your problems and provide richly contextual insight to help you do your role better (these will often be other entrepreneurs, who you can help and coach reciprocally), and (c) allies -- strategic partners who offer you access to markets and supplies and connections, knowledge you wouldn't otherwise have, new ideas and emerging innovations and technologies, and other mutual advantages.
  2. Managing Growth: If the business needs so many people that it gets unwieldy, encourage the members to break it into two or more small Existential Enterprises with no members in common. Don't worry, it won't fall apart -- in fact it may even be tighter and stronger, as long as each enterprise keeps following these principles. We live in a World of Ends, and command-and-control is now not only unnecessary, it's an impediment to success, and it makes people unhappy.
  3. Stakeholders: The needs and happiness of the members, you and your partners, come first. Your customers come second. The interests and needs of the community in which you operate come third. That's it. Remember this priority when you make decisions. In Existential Enterprise, there are no shareholders, absentee owners, creditors, Board of Directors or Board of Management to usurp this critical priority, to interfere and force you to do things you don't want to do, to make you a wage slave in your own enterprise.

Most of the problems in traditional entrepreneurial business -- the ones that lead to the stress, long hours, divorce, sacrifice, unhappiness, and, often, failure -- are created by the MBA mythology of how to start, build and operate a business -- a mythology that often defies intuition and common sense. And that's all these ten principles are: Common sense, that I've seen work in dozens of small, successful enterprises, and the ignorance of which has been the undoing of dozens of others I have worked with. That's why people with no formal business training are sometimes the best entrepreneurs: They don't have to unlearn all the nonsense, and guided by common sense they instinctively build something closer to the Existential Enterprise model than the Business School model.

I'm not saying that this is easy. Adhering to these ten principles (especially the first two) requires a lot of time and energy, and considerable intelligence. But they are relatively fool-proof and stress-free. After all, what could be more joyful than creating a successful enterprise with people you love and trust, on your own terms -- a true labour of love?

My role with Boing Boing is the equivalent of "band manager" - I helped them round up the wonderful sponsors - Wired, Google (Blogger), and O'Reilly - and work out the details of how they can take the site to the next phase of it's ongoing evolution ("brain candy for happy mutants since 1988!"). Take a look!...

Xeni Jardin: A quick housekeeping note: We're taking our web stats offline for a bit, while we dig into some technical considerations about what data is reported, and how -- to ensure maximum accuracy and clarity. We'll make them public again when that's complete.

Meta BoingBoing network


Meta BoingBoing network 04/14/2004 05:04 PM

BoingBoing tribe on tribe.net hits 700 members. The Boingboing affinity group on tribe.net, created last year by a group of readers, just welcomed its 700th member. Link [Boing Boing]

For a fan club and a way to rate support in teh community - having 700 memebrs is pretty coolio.

I just wish there was a way to:

- break all those adoring fans up into meaningful clusters

- that when folks join Clubs, Tribes or Groups - they participate and not just lurk

- that there be some inter-connection between ALL these networks out there - so a 'meta-BoingBoing network' could exist.
