Apparently Hell Froze Over While I Was out of Town
Lots of things changed. We got a new teleprompter at Yahoo and it cuts off words sometimes. Yahoo also got new shiny black commuter shuttles. And apparently, John "Cranky" Dvorak finally got a Twitter account. Note the abuse he HEAPED on me for using Twitter on my last Cranky Geeks appearance. Note to self: Don't believe a word he says ever. He apparently hasn't gotten on the whole embeddable video bandwagon so you have to click through to watch. Maybe if I leave town again, they'll fix that.

New Book
An unforgettable portrait of the emerging world's entrepreneurial dynamos Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people who do more to change their worlds through greed and ambition than politicians, NGOs and nonprofits ever can. This new breed of self-starter is taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities, making millions, creating thousands of jobs and changing the face of modern entrepreneurship at the same time. To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.

The thing about Dvorak, though, is that he knows when he poo-poo's something, it's probably going to go big. Blogging is something that he was way against in the beginning, and look at it now.
His joining Twitter is just confirmation that "Dvorak's Law" is still valid.

How about you look at it like you won him over?
Claim victory! He even dragged Rupley in...

Sarah, you're absolutely right. And now he's a FIEND, I tell you! :P But I'm not going to look the gift-horse in the mouth--he upped my followers this morning to over a hundred in mere minutes! The man is a god. ;)
