I just ran across this fantastic website (h/t Instapundit). Carlust is such a great name for it as well. I really like Chris Hafner’s writing style as well — compact, personable, totally on-point. Great blog writing, IMHO. It works beautifully for cars. I know it can’t possibly work as beautifully for houses, since cars are … Read more
This is completely unrelated to anything serious at all, but… Greg, Mr. Swann… WTF? Is it because I find insults abhorrent? Obviously not. For all of me, well-crafted satire is the essence of Western art — the primordial expression of independence by the nascent Greeks toward the hegemonic Persians. To be oriental, in the Greek … Read more
And the drama has escalated once again. The brouhaha was sort of dying down, but the flames have roared into life once again, with this from Dustin Luther (obviously a great and influential blogger), then this, and this, and I’m sure others I’m missing. The comments in the Luther post are fascinating. As a brand … Read more

I had a feeling I would not be disappointed in entertainment value of this little kerfuffle. And I was right. 🙂 Joseph Ferrara from Sellsius lets Greg Swann have both barrels, for Greg letting Marc Davison have both barrels. Ah, a grand melee. I’m happy to be a voyeur in these little dustups. -rsh
After my… ahem… tirade against Movesmart.org, I felt kinda bad. I mean, they seem like such sweet, nice people with such good intentions. Granted, I still stand by everything I wrote in that post, but… in the spirit of wishing them well, I offer the following suggestions. I base them on this page on Netsquared.org … Read more
Glenn Kelman at Redfin posted a great article yesterday about working at a technology company in Seattle. I’ve spent a bit of time in Seattle working at a game company out there, and I remember it fondly. A great city in so many ways. He contrasts the Seattle tech culture with that of the Valley’s, … Read more
I thought I was perhaps being a bit unkind to Marc Davison in wondering why a marketer would post what he did about being a rock star. Greg Swann over at Bloodhound looses both barrels on him: I should probably stop picking on this little nebbish, but he’s such a champion at leading with his … Read more
Marc Davison, who is a very smart guy, has a post up on how to kick ass. True rock stars bring something different to the table. It’s why they rise to the top and stay there. They have a their own look. Their own special feel. It’s that difference that cut Zeppelin apart from Sabbath. … Read more
