(Via Seth's Blog.) - Gosh darn Seth Godin is good. Another excellent blog post and at a very relevant time for me. I've been thinking alot about product positioning lately. Not sure why. Maybe this is what you do when you're half way through building a piece of software and your mind is begging for distractions. Anyway it's a good read along with Eric's announcement of a
new product at SourceGear which also has to do with positioning.
UserScape logo, the dot here is pulled through and makes the head of our little abstract user. Hmm I guess I need a name for him, have to think up one.
I'd just like to say thanks again to Mike for all his hard work on this. I actually found Mike via the NSLog blog and his work on the MailDrop 2.0 logo. I think it's a real testement to the power of weblogs and how they can bring folks together
I'm flippin around and BAM there's Smokey and the Bandit. You know AMC is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Lately they seem to have so many good movies on, especially late at night. The other night the Blues Brothers kept me up until 3am. The website is pretty slick as well for a channel that I used to think was for "old fogies". Does that mean I'm getting to be an old fogy?

Nice coding article by the guy who wrote the Notes R6 formula engine. R5 is the devil, there is no other way to say it, but I have heard better things about R6. The problem really is, as he says, that Notes is basically an operating system with many different apps running on top of it and as such most of those apps are only average. Of course then you put an average app like Notes Mail next to Outlook and it just looks silly.
