		<title>Steve Jobs: A Great Leader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I do not have many heroes, but Steve Jobs was one of them. It is sad to think that we have lost someone with such leadership talent and vision. At the same time, if the measure of a true leader is how he inspires others to act, then I believe we have yet to close [...]]]></description>

		<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>
