About time. And product. And being more deliberate.
A couple years back I spent a good chunk of time in Minneapolis’ Warehouse District. Aside from convenience (it’s right between downtown and NE) it’s got a nice comfortable, creative vibe to it. Unfortunately, there’s not a hands down winner for a good cup of coffee. If you prefer coffee mixed with single speed bikes …

Local NBC affiliate KARE11 came by this morning to talk podcasting and we continued the ‘who’s the audience when everyone publishes?’ conversation. I don’t think this is a question about too much stuff to pay attention to, it’s a question about ownership of the publication process. Traditionally, recording companies, television stations, newspaper publishers had an …

This means there’s an opening on my gPod. No worries, it was quickly filled by Merlin Mann’s 43Folders podcast. Merlin had …

The Star Tribune’s Jon Trevlin writes a FUD-mongering piece on “the City Pages’ parent’s possible merger“. In his first 2 sentences there’s; an ‘if’, a ‘may’, and two ‘mights’.

There must be something in the air, Seth Godin picked up the ‘who’s the audience when everyone publishes?’ argument. Seth is of course right – the cost of the production is quickly reaching zero. Fantastic blog software like WordPress is free – just the cost of implementation. Other hosted services are free. Once a blog …
