On the surface, I should like her. Sarah Palin is 44, precisely my age. We were born three months apart. And like me, she’s a mom and works full-time. We should hang out, clink our highball glasses, and salute the kind of kismet that competent women often need to create real achievement. Except, in her case, the kismet catapulted her to the national stage and into history. In my case, it occasionally lands me a ...

Not every big company is dumb. There are actually a decent number of big smart companies that do things we can learn from. But big, well-capitalized companies have a mortal enemy: inertia. It’s very hard to change the direction they’re already headed. It’s very hard to fix the cultural mistakes that have been ingrained in the company since its early days. It’s very hard for most big companies to learn. So if you’re a small ...

Details are now coming out revealing a close relationship between Senator John McCain and four performing Jackson brothers who together with McCain, were known as the Jackson Five in the early 70’s. The bombshell news offers a rare glimpse of a younger, hipper McCain, much different than the cantankerous, 72 year old whose favorite song is “Dancing Queen” McCain spokesman, Tucker Bounds, denies any real relationship between McCain and the Jacksons. “John McCain was only ...

While this issue is certainly not specific to CakePHP, I felt it was worthwhile to point out since we are often dealing with data arrays and foreach() loops to modify that data. Consider the following example: function afterFind($results, $primary=false) { if($primary == true) { foreach($results as $key => $value) { $results[$key][$this->alias]['my_field'] = $this->modifyField($value[$this->alias]['my_field']); } } return $results; } While this works just fine for most cases, the main issue is that $value in the above ...

I didn’t meet Scott Wharton of Vidtel in person, but I just watched his face on the Vidtel DSL video telephone they were showcasing at the Plug and Play Expo last week. Vidtel’s big challenge is becoming the world’s first DSL video telephony service. For a very cheap monthly fee (can’t remember the details, but in the range of $30-$50) you get unlimited video calls and landline calls worldwide (almost) plus the device. Moreover, the ...

Contrary to what its many, many followers may think, Twitter is still positioned as an outsider in the online/interactive/digital world. While at the IAB’s MIXX 2.8 Conference and Expo in New York City last week, I did what any business traveller arriving alone at a media conference would do: Twitter-search for other people in attendance and stalk them mercilessly. However, the MIXX tweet landscape was rather bleak. There were almost more people not in attendance ...
