Notes
Principles
Doc is working on it. It keeps getting closer, even though it has been "the next few days" for a while now... Cluetrain is done and to the publiser. That helped get the principles locked down and is now off of Doc's plate.
NPR Tuner
Nice exercise in getting a bunch of technologies working together. Asa Hardcastle and Markus Sabadello are helping out. Good to have geeks talking to geeks getting stuff made. If we have any problems, it will most likely be political, with the rallying of stations and NPR central.
Face to Face
Trying to lock down a venue.
Stanford in the spring? March 2nd, 3rd, 4th. (M/T/W) Following IIW structure. 1/2 day Monday, baselining Two full days T/W Dinners M/T
VRM.org
Meeting re: VRM.org with Andy Updegrove in Boston. Who has probably been involved in many many things like this.
Graham Hill
A few cycles sucked away responding to his slam: The four failings of VRM. http://www.customerthink.com/blog/four_fallacies_vendor_relationship_management He took VRM as sort of a socialist planned economy thing, which is wrong. So Doc responded explaining why: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/vrm/2009/01/25/a-little-understanding-goes-a-short-way/
