Long Tail: The Movie - Rampant Disintermediation!



Here is a hilarious cinematic accompaniment to Chris Anderson's "The Long Tail." It's spot-on, cleverly critical of the BIGS, and just a beautiful piece of wit-to-film.

Now, I am sure critics of the Long Tail will continue their dismissive rebukes. Hi Hollywood! I am even MORE sure that the zealots, who's cri de coeur is essentially calling the niche/vertical market spikes in the Long Tail corruptive, will continue to beat their out-of-tune bongos.

But come on folks, this is kind of brilliant...

Just sayin'.

Jumping back into the ether...

So, I have decided to get back on the handle and start posting again thanks to the inspiration of my dear and occasionally reckless friend of over ten years, Marisa.

It's been awhile, but alas you get sucked back in.

Quick update for the past 6 months...

*Quit a lucrative but miserable job in Washington, DC.
*Started my own consulting firm.
*Dissolved aforementioned firm.
*Decided that the IC route was a better set up, at least for the time being.

*Moved to Hawai`i for about 6 weeks where I:
-Almost lost a tooth surfing.
-Almost died offroading at Ka`ena Point.
-And almost became a Mormon because of a ravishing young woman in a muumuu who gave me a tour of the temple in La`ie. Much mahalo, sweet sister Haney.


*Moved back to DC for a couple of weeks and spent most of my time here.

Currently in Oklahoma fighting for yet another great candidate.

Back to DC this week...

More later.
