Here is a great one from Jeff Bezos that I have been utilizing for quite some time now. It typically works best for large, life altering decisions… but I have found it useful on a day to day basis.

Jeff… great name choice. Then again, I am a geek.


(thanks lij for the link who got it from noah’s interview)

What exactly does a product manager do? Funny you ask… most people give me blank stares when I tell them, but Colin does a great job explaining what I did for the past 4 years…

Now that I am no longer an employee, here is a plug for my ex-product.

Stay classy, San Francisco.

Given the rise of the Kindle and iPad, I decided to republish another book of mine to be more digitally friendly.

In the process of abandoning Blurb, I also got a real ISBN number! (btw, that might be redundant since the “N” in ISBN stands for number…) At first I didn’t understand why that mattered, but it does. Give 6-8 weeks and hopefully I’ll be a Amazon.com author. Also with the new digital format, if all things go my way, HTMACAG will also be available in the Kindle and iBooks store. Amazing how technology is changing books…

The guys at IDEO always blow my mind. If only all prototyping were this fun and easy… or maybe it is and I’ve been going about it wrong all this time.
