“ The one thing technology companies do really well is deal with constant disruption. “Microsoft is going through this right now,” he points out, “Ballmer is not complaining about it.” He’s tackling it head on. So did Intel when Andy Grove gutted it to shift from memory chips to microprocessors. So does every technology company CEO. It is ingrained in the industry Andreessen comes from, so it is just obvious to him: “You are cruising along, and then technology changes. You have to adapt.” Media companies need to learn that lesson fast. To the extent that their products are now delivered and consumed as digital bits, they too are becoming technology companies

LCD Soundsystem - North American Scum

Had a great workout yesterday, largely because the soundtrack kept me going for so long. It was LCD Soundsystem’s Sound of Silver. This is my favorite track off the album. There’s very few bands that I enjoy both chilling out on the couch with a crossword and also working out, but LCD Soundsystem is definitely one of them.

Love this song

“ Missed opportunity to integrate Super Bowl TV ads with campaign. Pepsi’s biggest misstep is putting all its eggs in one basket–and not benefiting from synergies of multiple channels.
