Zuckerburg on refusing the Yahoo $1bn offer

Philomath, designer, maker. Prototyping Vs. Planning. Zuckerburg on refusing the Yahoo $1bn offer. August 17, 2013. A very valid point by Mark Zuckerburg on high value acquisition. The article tells Thiel’s views that the best entrepreneurs are obsessed with a future vision they are building and have a plan to build it. I don’t know what I could do with the money. I’d just start another social networking site. I kind of like the one I already have. Full interview with Peter Thiel on Inc. Get every new po...

One-hour Meeting
https://mcbennett.wordpress.com/2015/03/26/one-hour-meeting
Philomath, designer, maker. Prototyping Vs. Planning. March 26, 2015. March 30, 2015. Lunch together, it’s only an hour. For me, this meal is regularly sour. We’ll chat and ideate, maybe we’ll create. It is the journey home that will turn one into eight. I run into the cafe. He serves me a double shot. The coffee is inside me. I dream it will hit the spot. He sees the cup empty. I’m asleep on the table. Confused, he double checks the caffeine label. He wakes me up and sets me free,. You are not special.

Philomath, designer, maker. Prototyping Vs. Planning. What does a CEO do? September 1, 2013. September 1, 2013. Would Icann be excited about startup culture as they are completely the opposite?
