I have decided that pizza is the perfect food, loved the world over. Done correctly, it includes most of the food groups according to Apache Pizza; cheese, meat, veggies and bread. Someone once said of pizza, "Pizza is a lot like sex. When it's good, it's really good. When it's bad, it's still pretty good." Being USian , I'm without time to create my own dough, squash my own tomatoes, or kill my own cow to create a truly mad pizza. There are alternatives in the quest for the pizza of world domination, though.

Passion for the story

Passion for the story 07/06/2004 05:14 AM

In my opinion, a reporter should be thirsty for information, and passionate about conveying it. It should bother you that you got the story wrong, and one should put aside pride or ego when the object of your story tells you you got it wrong. Get out the notepad and get the real story.

I think this is so basic, perhaps it should be a third tenet of real reporting, along with 1. Disclose your interests. 2. Never knowingly say something that's not true.

In the last flamefest, this is what separated the real reporters, professional or amateur, from the space-occupiers. Did they care what the actual story was, or were they just bloating the blogosphere with more uninformed crap. Mostly, unfortunately, it was the latter.

Decisiveness and Passion

Decisiveness and Passion 11/25/2003 10:31 PM
In Heidegger's Children, Richard Wolin quotes Hans Jonas on why he should have seen Heidegger's Nazism earlier: it's embedded in Heidegger's talk of "resoluteness" and "decisiveness." Says Jonas, whereas Heidegger accused idealist philosophy of being a step removed from the world, one could accuse him of something much more serious: the absolute formalism of his decisionism, where decision as such becomes the highest virtue." (132) If this is right (and it's been too long since I read Being and Time to be sure), it means Heidegger gives us no way of distinguishing a "resolute decision" to support the worst of...

Mel Gibson and the Passion movie
again... 03/08/2004 11:03 PM

A man goes to see Mel Gibson's new movie, The Passion, and is inspired to take his family to Israel to see the places where Jesus lived and died.  While on vacation his mother-in-law dies.

An undertaker in Tel Aviv explains that they can ship the body home to Wisconsin at a cost of $10,000 or the mother-in-law could be buried in Israel for US$500.

The man says, "We'll ship her home."

The undertaker asks, "Are you sure? That's an awfully big expense and we can do a very nice burial here."

The man says, "Look, 2000 years ago they buried a guy here and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance."

Lots Of Passion, Not So Much Profit

Lots Of Passion, Not So Much Profit 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
I was having a discussion recently with someone about the challenge of selling "TiVo-like" products - by which we didn't mean other PVRs, but products where (a) the product's benefits are difficult to describe but (b) the early adopters who sign on can't imagine living without it. It's a challenge a lot of companies face, and no one seems to have a very good answer. Some people think you just focus in on one differentiating aspect of the technology and pitch it relentlessly. Others try to build up word-of-mouth buzz. Still others try to get as many "trial" users as possible. It really depends on the actual product, but venture capitalist Kevin Laws is look ing at these types of companies and wondering what it takes to jump that hurdle. Is it just a question of letting the companies grow slowly, instead of pushing for the mass acceptance right away, or is there something else to it? It seems to me, that the examples he cites of companies that have made it over that hurdle were less revolutionary than those that haven't. That is, while the iPod and the Treo 600 have done things right, both were actually smart updates on previously failed products in that space. The examples he mentions of companies that have struggled (TiVo, PayTrust) are companies that have spent more time trying to invent and define the space themselves. The real question, then, is whether or not companies that create a space can successfully hang on and remain relevant until the market actually takes off. In many cases, I wonder if those companies have trouble because they're so focused on their own product and defining the market that they miss out on the one big feature that catapults a competitor into market dominance.
