iPad: My Take
Like many others today, I eagerly awaited the 10AM announcement and watched multiple “live blogs” as the event took place. My takeaways: the iPad is underwhelming but may be a good start towards a product we’ll all be using regularly someday.

Can Craigslist Be Saved?
Anyone who has recently used Craigslist has to have noticed a few things: the rate of success is less and the rate of spam is increased. Take in part the car that I’ve been trying to sell, for about 3 months. I have fielded phone calls from people who want to help me sell it, [...]
Late Night Negotiation Lessons, Courtesy of “Pawn Stars”
Its late at night, and I’m watching “Pawn Stars” on The History Channel. As I watch, I’m absolutely amazed at how terrible most people are at negotiating.
