I was happy to pick up this quick piece from Jeff Bezos last month on Business Insider. Jeff, founder of Amazon.com, ought to know. In Business Insider’s Instant MBA series, Jeff says Business Plans Are Important and Necessary. He says it’s not about being right and guessing the future correctly. It’s about guiding your business [...]

This happens all the time, but usually on a much smaller scale, so this story gets into headlines and serves as a reminder to all entrepreneurs. I read Why I Sold Zappos on Inc. Magazine’s website just two days after I posted Choose an Investor Like You Would a Spouse on this blog. And the [...]

Business books are the best buy in business. I’ve always told all of my company’s employees: If you see a business book you want that’s in any way related to your area or function, if there’s even a chance it can help you do your job better, buy it. Think of it: An employee costs [...]

Here I was thinking that the tablet computer might finally reach a point of critical mass, with an Apple tablet. But now the latest rumor, on VentureBeat, is that it’s not a tablet. It’s an eBook reader. I should emphasize: That’s a rumor. As the buzz has it, Apple’s going to announce something on Jan. [...]

For years now I’ve been following e-books and e-book readers. I’ve read e-books on cellphones and laptops. I bought an early Rocket e-book reader for a daughter. I bought a Kindle for myself.

(Note: from time to time I stumble upon a product I’d like to buy that doesn’t exist. It’s sort of like occupational therapy to post it here where anybody who reads it can make it happen. Tim.) I really like the Amazon S3 storage service. I’m using the S3Fox Organizer by Suchi Software on my [...]
