What did You Learn From Your Failures

What did You Learn From Your Failures

By Dan Morrill on September 9, 2009

Image via Wikipedia I have been reading what Fred wrote over at AVC on failure, and how failure tends to redefine the things we do as long as we learn from those failures. Some people do learn from failure and successfully work out ways to mitigate or minimize similar failures. Others unfortunately do not learn […]

Follow up and close out of the Month of Startup Hades

Follow up and close out of the Month of Startup Hades

By Dan Morrill on August 20, 2009

Image by Getty Images via Daylife Things are finally starting to return to normal, we had a bumper crop of sales over the last week, and got our internal problems solved. What is interesting is that rather than “go be your creative best” the leadership style had to change over to completely authoritative, here is […]

Day Two of Startup Hades

Day Two of Startup Hades

By Dan Morrill on August 13, 2009

Looking for inspiration by reading Marcello’s and Andy’s blogs today. If you do not know, Marcello owned Sampa, and Andy Sack owned Judy’s book. Sampa closed on August 15th, and Judy’s book closed over a year ago, but both are prolific bloggers and have also documented their experiences. Where I am at right now is […]

Image by lumaxart via Flickr Ever had one of those exceptional months were you have not only caught the fail boat, but threw a fail boat party and no one else showed up? This is the world of failure, deep hard core failure that you have to step back from many of the things you […]

Webstock – Nat Torkington – Better, Stronger, Faster Failures

By Ben Kepes on February 18, 2009

Home-town hero Nat Torkington, ex (and sometimes current) alumni of O’Reilly media is always a good choice for an entertaining show, he didn’t disappoint this time! What is the ultimate feedback loop? Science needs failures to progress, Torkington gave historical examples to prove his contention. Within technology we also use a failure fuelled feedback loop […]

*Chirp, the Twhirl-killer Wannabe. DOA.

*Chirp, the Twhirl-killer Wannabe. DOA.

By Zoli Erdos on January 28, 2009

Gotta love new killer apps – like Chirp – actually, it is  *chirp – the Twhirl-killer mother-of-all Twitter Clients.  Only for Vista – oh, well, if I am stuck with Vista, for once in my life let this be a benefit – let’s try this baby.

Is Hulu the First Casualty of the Inauguration?

Is Hulu the First Casualty of the Inauguration?

By Zoli Erdos on January 20, 2009

Patch Tuesday: Monster Windows Update DOA

By Zoli Erdos on December 10, 2008

I normally rely on automatic Windows updates, but reading how big a monster this Tuesday’s patch is (the biggest in five years) I decided to get a head start now and let it cook overnight.  Yeah, right: Windows could not search for new updates.  But luckily enough there’s a Get help with this error link… […]

When Apology is Not Enough

By Zoli Erdos on December 1, 2008

Today is the Day of Apologies.  President Bush is sorry about the economic crisis, but his biggest regret is the flawed intelligence that led to the Iraq war: “The biggest regret of all the presidency has to have been the intelligence failure in Iraq. A lot of people put their reputations on the line and […]
