Putting a stake in the ground

Back from vacation and quite refreshed . . .

One of the things we did in Maine was visit the LL Bean outlet (ok . . . we’re tourists . . .). Going there provided an example of making your threats real – in this case a positive one. LL Bean is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.  No exceptions. They are so serious about this that they actually don’t have locks on the doors to their store. Pretty powerful example of putting a stake in the ground about something they believe strongly in.

Welcome back!

That's so classic...A great example which means i won't hold it against you that you went to the LL Bean store.

Speaking off Google!

The NY TIMES did an article on the new evil empire today. (MS is now one of the good guys.)

Here are some thoughts on Google from an entrepreneur's perspective http://smartstartup.typepad.com/my_weblog/2005/08/google_and_the_.html
