It’s just not well distributed yet

Listen to this: ProE, FormZ, Catia, Rhino, Solidworks. Wifi, bluetooth, WiMax. Radio frequency ID chips. Global and local positioning systems. Digital inventory systems. Cradle-to-cradle production methods. Design for disassembly. Social software, customer relations management. Open source manufacturing.

These jigsaw pieces are snapping together. They create a picture, the picture of a new and different kind of physicality. It's a new relationship between humans and objects.

If you can bear with me a while today, and kind of oil and loosen the joints of your incredulity, I'm gonna suspend some disbelief for you here.

You see, the future is already here, it's just not well distributed yet.

Progres

Un progre es alguien que cree tener una deuda con el mundo, y aspira a saldarla con tu dinero.

La consultoría se cobra

Ya sabes que, como dijo Villalonga, la crítica tiene que ser destructiva, ya que la crítica constructiva se llama consultoría, y la consultoría se cobra ;-)

"Your cashflow is more important than your mother"

As my mother used to say

Supongo que Guy Kawasaki no necesita presentación (lo que no quiere decir que sea un impresentable :P). Ahora se dedica al noble arte de invertir en startups, dar conferencias y publicar libros llenos de obviedades. La sombra de quien llegó a ser Apple Evangelist.

También tiene un blog bastante majo, en el que de vez en cuando suelta verdades como templos. Muy de vez en cuando.

Leyéndolo, noté que varias veces utiliza la figura de su madre para dar consejos. Dudo que sea real, pero tiene su gracia. He hecho una recopilación de las que he ido encontrando:

As my mother used to say...

• “If you don’t blog, you don’t get.”
• “Guy, it doesn’t matter what people say about you as long as they link to your blog.”
• “You can never know too many bloggers or have too hard a slap shot.”
• “Never play Russian roulette with an Uzi.”
• “Be nice to people on the way up because you're going to see them again on the way down.”
• “Best case, engineers give buildings. Best case, MBAs endow chairs.”
• “You're either part of the problem or part of the solution.”
• “You don't get if you don't ask.”
• "How can you tell if a marketer is lying? His lips are moving.
• “Don’t shiitake where you eat.”

The language in question

Don't you know, around here:

• All Java is slow
• All Perl is unreadable
• All PHP is insecure
• All JavaScript is a useless intrusion into your browser

... and all comments like those are written by "experts" who've never written one line in the language in question.
