So, on my father’s birthday, I spoke about positioning. And, Jack Trout. And, branding.

The “R” in R&D is falling short
I’ll bet there isn’t one of you who doesn’t know that I’m a techie. I’ve been devoted to science and technology- and FACTS- since I was a tyke. I knew I’d be a ChemE by the time I was 8 and was just as certain I’d effect major changes to the field of dialysis. I’ve been lucky enough to dabble in water treatment, water reuse, air treatment, microbial conversion of hazardous materials, pharmaceutical development, medical instrumentation, genetic manipulation, food production…. OK. You get the idea.
The 50 Second Waltz?
One of the issues always brought up by companies when pressed to raise the wages of their employees is that productivity is not increasing.
Don’t tell her no, no, no!
Almost 6 decades ago, folks could have told me to shut up. (OK. They did. I didn’t listen. I still don’t.)
A RAID???? I think not…
I’ve often written how I was bound and determined to develop concepts for dialysis since I was a tyke. OK. Maybe not a tyke in the true definition (not that it’s all that clear how old a tyke may be), but by 8 years of age.
Bet you never thought you knew some ChemE!
Most of you know that I am a ChemE. (I am lots of other things, but I have wanted to be a ChemE since I’ve been a tyke and I approach almost everything I do using the mindset of this discipline.)
This Hack Will Cost Consumers Big
Science <> Law
I have written before that our legal system makes many decisions without any understanding of the scientific (or mathematical) principles involved. And, because of that bad (as in wrong) decisions are made.
Knowledge IS Power
I can’t recall when I first met George Gilder. The years and meetings blend together after a while. But, whether it was when we first made the Inc. 500 (the first two years of the program’s existence) or at one of the first Arthur Young’s Entrepreneur Conferences, it makes no real difference. It’s been some 35 years, at least.
Grain alcohol
I’ve blogged about ethanol before (and I’m sure I will again). My last discussion was in response to the movie “Freedom”. (By the way, the filmmakers promised to send a reply and never did.) I believe we need to develop alternative sources for our energy needs- for balance of payments issues, for security issues, and for improving our economy (jobs).
