I started a very robust conversation with some colleagues the other day, including Dan and Jane of this site, who I am certain you will hear from soon, about a decision my team made to opt out of business cards.
The initial conversation came up because I often get asked for
I read Nick Milton’s Must you fail in order to learn? post on Friday with trepidation. I have written of the importance of failure a few times (In praise of failure, Ryan’s rules for projects) and I talk about it all the time. I often say my philosophy is ‘to fail quickly’

My former colleague, Richard Hsu, is at it again. You may remember Richard, and his talented daughter, Maya, from my posts about his One Page Blog, and HsuTube blogs, and the really interesting videos he and Maya produced. I talked with Richard this week and caught up on what he’s up
Toby Brown and I got a sneak peek yesterday at Bloomberg BNA’s new Big Law Business community site, and we liked what we saw. We all know that Big Law is big business, but there are very few resources out there from vendors that cover current stories and trends of the business side of a
