Inside Linkspank: December 2008
http://insidelinkspank.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 11, 2008. Half-Formed Thought of the Day: Compensation by Stocks. Executives are compensated in part with stocks in their own companies, and expected not to sell the stocks. This compensation scheme makes sense insofar as executives become personally invested in the success of their companies, and to the extent that their compensation (i.e., the value of the stock) is linked to their performance (which makes the value of the stock go up).

Inside Linkspank: Value Creation vs. Value Capture in Technology
http://insidelinkspank.blogspot.com/2009/02/value-creation-vs-value-capture-in.html
Monday, February 2, 2009. Value Creation vs. Value Capture in Technology. In any business area where value is truly created (=technology) you gotta think about value creation vs. value capture. You write code, develop products, make a new chip or doohickey; you create value, but how much of the payoff can you secure? Doubts about Google's business model? They are such: Google continues to create tremendous value, but without capture (unlike the early and ongoing beautiful marriage of search and ads).

Inside Linkspank: The ultimate reason to use Firefox (and open source)
http://insidelinkspank.blogspot.com/2009/02/ultimate-reason-to-use-firefox-and-open.html
Tuesday, February 3, 2009. The ultimate reason to use Firefox (and open source). There are a lot of nice things about Firefox, OpenOffice, and other open sources products. They are free! They are often safer to use, since the army of volunteers fixes bugs quickly; and they tend to be easier to modify and contribute to (as in the case of Firefox extensions). Open source projects, will be truly loyal to you in a way that companies just won't be over the long run. That allowance is about the most extreme ma...

Inside Linkspank: Hours worked, telecommuting, and goals
http://insidelinkspank.blogspot.com/2009/02/hours-worked-telecommuting-and-goals.html
Thursday, February 5, 2009. Hours worked, telecommuting, and goals. Why you (or anyone) shouldn't think about how many hours you work. The more you think about hours, the less you think about results. Success hinges on a single-minded focus on results. Therefore, you shouldn't think about hours at all. (How's that for a syllogism.). Corollary: telecommuting. Telecommuting is good for any organization. It involves thinking about hours less. That's good. Subscribe To This Thing. Linkspank - andrew's wall.

Inside Linkspank: The blackjack table and startup marketing/investing
http://insidelinkspank.blogspot.com/2009/02/blackjack-table-and-startup.html
Monday, February 9, 2009. The blackjack table and startup marketing/investing. Gambling with More Money Means Better Chances of Winning. Playing with more money increases your chances of winning. More technically, that 55% is a statistical average based on a large number of games. For that 55% to end up being the case, you have to be able to play a lot of games. The imaginary mathematician who's calculating that 55% is imagining that you have an infinite amount of money to play with.). Corollary: from a ...

Inside Linkspank: June 2008
http://insidelinkspank.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 20, 2008. Representativeness Bias in the Tech Industry. In business school Dick Thaler. Taught us about the representativeness bias. Which could be crudely stated as the bias of over-weighting. Everything you're familiar with when making judgments, estimates and guesses about stuff. Dr. Thaler. Convinced me in class that we all fall prey to this bias far more often and with a greater deepness of error than we imagine, even after the bias has been explained to us. Though I wish them luck).
