		<title>This is Going to be Big</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow is going to be a big day for Apple — I can feel it. I ordered my first generation iPhone the day they were released, and it is battle scarred now, with numerous scratches, surfaces worn smooth, and even a cracked screen from our casting session for this video when one of the actors [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thank You, Thank You, Thank You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These last two weeks have been a little crazy. We have been flooded with calls — inquiries, suggestions, everything. It’s great. A little overwhelming, but great.
It’s always a little scary when you take something that you have worked on for a long time — particularly when your livelihood depends on its success — and you [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Value of a Free Lunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of stuff today is free, and I love it. From open source to Google, from free Wi-Fi to various promotions and add-supported broadcasting and Internet content, we get a lot of great stuff for free. In fact, we&#8217;ve become accustomed to it.


I&#8217;m convinced that someone could write an interesting sociology PhD thesis by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Squish Like Grape</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Daniel-san, must talk. Walk on road, hmm? Walk left side &#8212; safe. Walk right side &#8212; safe. Walk middle &#8212; sooner or later, get squish just like grape.
Ah, the immortal words of Mr Miyagi (Pat Morita) from The Karate Kid, cherished movie of my youth. My ears ring as I say this, but&#8230;
&#8230;sometimes it&#8217;s okay [...]]]></description>

		<title>When Are We Ready?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a basic question that we all ask ourselves at one time or another. Am I ready to drive a car? Leave home (for school, a job)? Enter into this relationship? Hold this responsibility?
Lately at ThinkFlood, we&#8217;ve been asking ourselves the same question &#8212; about our product. It seems that there are two opposing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of iPhone Docks and Lesser Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday a silent cheer echoed around the world when a consortium of cell phone makers and service providers proposed a new standard that would make possible, of all things, a universal cell phone charger. But it did not take long for critics to point out that the plan will not work because of the conspicuous [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Finance Trap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I spent a couple of hours compiling and cleaning up financial statements in preparation for talks with investors. Whenever I do this, all I can think about is how glad I am that I did not pursue a career as a financial analyst or an accountant.


So, it&#8217;s probably pretty obvious that I have some [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s Really Wrong with the Economy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In some ways, we have a credit problem &#8211; though it&#8217;s not the same one that the larger economy faces.

While we haven&#8217;t gone public with what we are working on, it is no secret that ThinkFlood is a small startup. Right now, there are three of us on the team (an early founder jumped ship [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barrier to Entry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier I wrote a few postings about why it is so hard to make things easy to use. I have been thinking about this concept recently, but from a different angle.
The world is a big place. It&#8217;s big enough that we have a hard time comprehending its size. Six billion inhabitants or so. 40 million [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Next Killer App</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you run in entrepreneurial circles, you know that there are a lot of people out there looking for the next killer app. It&#8217;s a cyclical thing, really. There is a groundswell of interest in a particular area, and eventually a couple of leaders emerge. Most of the competition gets swallowed or disappears, and then [...]]]></description>
